Meanwhile, Shadow, said black hedgehog, has joined forces with Dr. and join his friends to stop Eggman from collecting and using the Chaos Emeralds to fuel the deadly Eclipse Cannon of the abandoned Space Colony Ark. It was also the last original Sonic game to be made before Sega quit making consoles.įramed for the criminal acts of a black hedgehog, Sonic must run from the worldwide law enforcement agency G.U.N. A sequel to the hit Sonic Adventure and one of the Dreamcast's final releases, and a title to mark the 10th anniversary of the series.
