I resent that.  Shadow is a solid game that needed only a few minor tweaks to be much better.  Two main issues are that missions are overly strict (artificial Chaos hunting is a pain in the ass), and the last boss split doubling the number of possible endings was sheer lunacy.  It's not a bad game, it's just laid out in such a way that you'll be damn sick of it by the time you get to the Last Story.  But it beats the hell out of Heroes.
Shadow, Sonic, Amy, and Blaze are fine.  Tails and Knux take a *LOT* of getting used to; they've both seen better days.  But since Sega keeps shafting Tails anyway, I'm sorry to say it's not very noticeable.

Funny you mention Eggman; he's decent, but the Adventure 2 voice is superior.

Shadow is better than Heroes? SHADOW is better than Heroes. One of the very worst games I've ever played, that pretty much DEFINES the sense of "bad game" in itself, and which I have a hard time figuring out if it's worse than Sonic 06 or not, is "better than Heroes"? Shadow isn't a "game" most of the time. It's a buggy mess, with the worst convulted mixed styles of gameplay I've ever seen. In a game where you mix the very worst of Heroes, put in the very WORST gun mechanics you can ever see, make two special attacks which GO AGAINST THE VERY OBJECTIVES OF THE GAME, and then strike out on pretty much everything I've ever seen, from bad graphics, bad gameplay, level design which sends you spiraling in insanity, vehicle gameplay which is THE WORSE I have ever seen... The game forces you to NOT attack CERTAIN enemies, while your character is someone whose gun and homing attack aim automatically to the closest enemy and who is attacked BY ALL ENEMIES EQUALLY. You have to HUNT for stuff in linear-speed based levels as you main objective! And the backtracking way they chose forces you not just to have to hit every single checkpoint, but to go through ENTIRE levels all over again just because you didn't open a crate which was in a corner at the beginning. Oh, and for enemy kill selection what better special attack then something that kills everything? Or for hunting something in the game, in special, what better way to proceed through the level than to speed through it and just not give a [parasitic bomb]? I have literally never, ever, EVER seen a game in my entire life that mixes in so many gameplay styles that don't make sense at all, and in which fighting against the GAMEPLAY the game has given you is harder, and you do it more often, than playing the game itself. The game has a story that makes no sense most of the time, Shadow has a laughably bad attitude "It's like taking candy from a baby, WHICH IS FINE BY ME BY THE WAY I AM SO EDGY", the whole thing goes on like a Jeph Loeb storyline, causing more and more stupidity to happen to what Sonic Adventure 2 was as a story (not to mention that game's graphics were better than this one), and by far, before Sonic 06 had come out, I considered this the worst game I had ever played. At least Sonic 06 had a good gameplay basis on the 3 main characters, discounting the bullshit moves and the vehicles. Shadow is just flawed all the way. I can't see one single redeeming feature. And I can't possibly stop thinking that if you played Sonic 06 you'd probably also like it.

Shame. The second one improved on some major flaws in the first, but roller coasters with different vehicles got divided up into separate rides. Apparently, a wooden roller coaster isn't a wooden roller coaster anymore when you put the trains backwards.

I should try it sometime. I got so many fond memories on the first... for like... half a year, it was the ONLY game I played. ALL DAY.

Roller Coaster Tycoon

- Make a park full of unfinished Shuttle Loops.
- Block all exits.
- Turn them all on at the same time.
- KABOOM
- HUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Oh, wait, that wasn't nitpicking. Okay then...

- Can't buy more and more terrain until you have the whole map.
- Coaster construction feels limited sometimes.
- STOP VOMITING DAMMIT
- There is only one ticket price balance, and that is 20 bucks. Once you get there, no turning back or onwards.
- No "free mode" without objectives.

Yeah, they made it so Eggman's an insult because he's so fat. Even though he doesn't treat it as such. Odd.

In Sonic Adventure 1, it was said as an insult. In SA2, he seemed to simply take the name, as well as recognize his roots. After that, he just called himself Dr Eggman and that's that.

Well, his real name is canonically Dr. Ivo Robotnik.  Eggman is just a pseudonym.  A stupid pseudonym.

Canon changes. They pretty much made it so he'll never be Robotnik again. And "Ivo" never appeared in any game.

Yeah, definitely.  Personally, I think it's better than WHTTMOT!

It is. Best Superman tale ever told, in my opinion. It basically tells us everything Superman ever was and is. My only problem with it being canon or not, is that he's not married to Lois, and Pa Kent dies there again. I don't mind Pa Kent coming back, but Clark and Lois is one of those couples I REALLY, REALLY REALLY wouldn't want to Mephisto.

This is why we can't have a decent Tails.  Or Super Sonic.
When the same device controls your spin-attacks?  Absolutely not.  Two actions to the same motion sensor mandates that a specific motion is required.  And the setup is perfectly logical.  A broad-side smack for hitting with the shield, and a random shake/swing for the spin attack (another thing I like, quick-spin is actually reliable).  I see no issue whatsoever.  Helm Splitter is my favorite attack in the game.
Didn't say it was epic, I said it was better than NiGHTS.  That's like saying any given cartoon is better than Sonic Underground.
Lacking a 360/PS3 makes that difficult.  Even so, you can at best hope to promote NiGHTS to 2nd worst new-age Sonic Team effort.  And given how many Sonic projects have been churned out, that's still saying an awful lot as to how horrid NiGHTS is.
I am not in the LEAST referring to NiGHTS's forms. I'm referring to a specific stage where you are required to navigate NiGHTS down a river.  Control in said stage is a nightmare, regardless of input device.  I can only hope your lack of recollection means it is not seen again, but frankly, once is too many.

- And yes. Well, Super Sonic actually worked alright in Sonic Adventure 2's last battle. If they mapped the up and down to either a right analog stick or the A/Y buttons (ala Zone of the Enders), it would have been perfect. Tails is a bit trickier, since we know he can't fly forever.
- Spin attacks were shaking it wildly, which I got no problem doing. Making a specific motion when you're in the middle of a heated battle is like being told to press two-thirds of a button when you're stressed.
- Voice acting has pretty much always sucked in Sonic games. Aside from certain characters, such as Eggy.
- Second worst? Still no. At least the gameplay matched the levels, no matter how crappy it was. Still not as bad as Shadow was. I actually considered it on par with Black Knight. The flying levels are fun, and when there's no gimmicks and it's just zooming through the air, it can get pretty good. Heck, had a better metacritic score. =P
- Ah, yes. Now I remember. Yeah, those controls sucked, but I consider that more of a small minigame in-between levels than anything else. Not a crash and burn factor.

Very true!  

If they made an Absolute All Star Superman, I'd probably buy it.

I consider All-Star Superman the equivalent of Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow, only instead of being the last Silver Age story, it's the last Modern Age story.

[parasitic bomb].
Morrison sounds like my kinda guy.
I too, am [tornado fang]ing crazy about the continuity in my "stories(which I have yet to write [tornado fang]ing down as... well, ACTUAL STORIES).

Anyway, I too like Terry as FUTURE BATMAN FROM THE DISTANT FUTURE.
I just like him, even tough I didn't like Batman Beyond THAT MUCH.
(still, the episode with Future Justice League, and Return of the Joker are one of my favorities.)

Here. I'll tell you how Hypercrisis works.

This is pretty much how we found out Oberon Sexton was Joker long before the reveal.

And this... is the Barbatos Immortality Theory:

As we can see, Morrison keeps trying to take Hurt away from being the devil in his original story, and humanize him more as a dark villain who just wants to destroy Batman and fulfill his nefarious purposes.
