I think it's more a case of Shadow The Hedgehog being the worst Sonic game UNTIL 06 came out, which I won't argue that it was.
Thanks to Sonic 06's less than stellar reception, Shadow managed to age somewhat better and is now seen as a notch above Sonic 06 but still below just about every other Sonic game.
Despite its glitches and whatnot, the game is still unique for the Sonic franchise with its different paths and endings. The use of guns is hit or miss, as while the guns provide a different mechanic, they come at the cost of enemies having too much health to kill.
The multiplayer is ass though.
