Honestly enjoyed the game play more then Heroes. While I don't think it was executed as good as it could have been I do like the idea of the morality system. Especially at this point Shadow being a blank slate without his memories and the implications the aliens are controlling him to an extent. That being said tho having to start from the beginning (at minimum 10 times) is a bit tedious and I wish you could choose the level from the flowchart after you've unlocked it to do the other paths. True Neutral path is very nonsensical, Eggman lies and says Shadow is an android (a very easy thing to disprove too), Shadow says "me an android, I don't believe you", and then in the cutscene after he's laughing and has completely accepted hes and android? And then in that ending he either wants to take over the world with the android army alone or with Omega, and like WHAT? Where did that even come from?? And Omega just goes alone with the idea? Saving the world from the aliens or joining forces with the aliens to take over make sense since those are the 2 main conflicting factions, but where does Shadow get the idea for an android uprising? Is he going to take out both humanity and the aliens? I wish there was a definitive canon path that leads to the Final Story. Elements of various paths are referenced in the Final Story but it's not possible to get those in a single playthrough, and in some Sonic or Eggman die which for obvious reasons can't lead to the Final Story lol.
Anyways I also wish enemies you're aligned with didn't attack you. GUN agents always attacking you makes sense since the commander just hates Shadow, but if you're doing Eggman or the aliens missions I don't think they should attack you.
