He seems to be one of the more memorable things about SA2 for most people, but frankly I couldn't stand him, and he's one of the few things that I really hate about the game. Which is saying nothing of his spinoff game, which to me represented more than any other game in the series everything that was wrong with that era of Sonic.
Irony is I use Shadow mostly in Sonic and Sega All Stars Racing... but that's due to the bike I prefer that balance over the cars and planes of the game, that said if Shadow is not available ill pick alex kidd
