    I don't care what anyone says, this game's brand of unabashedly sincere edginess needs to make a comeback. Not like every game needs to be that, but there's such a unique appeal to these 2000s games that tried to be as gangsta as possible with a totally straight face, and I need more of it ASAP.

    Sweet, another Shadow the Hedgehog game enjoyer. We are a rare breed indeed.
    Part of what I love about your challenge runs is that when hitting an impossible roadblock and trying to find a way around, if you don't find one you don't stop, just adjust the minimum requirement to keep the spirit of the challenge while still providing solid entertainment and clearing the game. Even if something is impossible due to the nature of the game's design, trying to get as close as possible is still a challenge in and of itself...that, and watching you use the environment to manipulate the physics engine and collision detection until it decides to relent is funny as hell.
    EDIT: I actually did make it a point to unlock and complete Expert Mode when I was playing this on the PS2. And lemme tell ya, out of all the A Ranks I needed to get, blowing the Escape Pod was the worst and the one that took me the most tries. Blowing it up period isn't the hard part, it's blowing it up *fast enough* to qualify for the A, which took a lot of precise decision-making and turret spam along the way, especially since the game's auto-targeting can be finicky at times. It's the one A Rank I remember because I had the most issues chewing through that thing's HP, but after enough tries I squeezed out that A rank and the rest weren't as bad. Also really liked all the unique dualog from the various characters in Expert Mode near the end, especially the President chiming in from time to time. Thankfully only took one run to go through Expert Mode, and it was a lot of fun. Was nice to see it as an extra part for the video. 👍

    An unexpected video; but one I'm pleased to see.
    Surely this isn't possible however, dosen't the first automated 20 seconds of westopolis force you to? Yep.
    Also; it is STRONGLY IMPLIED that there is one of three canon endings.
    Westopolis -> Stage 2 -> Whatever mission you need to do for Prison Island; where you do the Hero Mission. Unfortunetly; there is no way of knowing which of the three Westopolis missions is correct; although the pre-stage 3 cutscene mentioning the hack of the internet implies it might be Digital Circuit. [Basically; Shadow initially does what Doom says since he has nothing else; but Rouge snaps him out of it]
    This takes you to Mad Matrix; where you also do the Hero Mission, taking you to the flashback level. So what shadow actually does means nothing for the storyline. It's a filler level. You do neutral here, to go to Cosmic Fall; where you FIND DA COMPUTER ROOM.
    Yes; the canon route must help all three Chaotix.
    Why?
    Because what the Chaotix are working on is pivitol to the last story. They are trying to access Gerald's log; the one they do at the end of the Last Story. Shadow helps them do this; by finding the secret discs confiscated by GUN; hacking Eggman's network to get his research on his grandfather and Shadow; and then accessing the ARK's central computer to put it all together.
    Charmy even mimics Shadow's karate-chop he does pre-Mad Matrix to get it to work! [So even if you disagree with everything else; Mad Matrix must be on the canon route]. Plus; isn't it such a co-incidence that it is possible to do all three Chaotix missions and the Chaotix are important in the Last Story?

    I know it doesn’t really matter because there’s no way to beat the game without collecting any rings, but I would personally say with these kind of challenges. If the game actively takes control away from the player, it’s fine to collect rings. As long as you still self impose the rule that you can’t take damage.

From my experience and in my opinion, its not the multiple story paths per se that people hate. Its that it is MANDATORY for the true endings, going through westopolis 10 times, playing to essentially play and beat the game 10 seperate times for the true end. I don't hate shadow but I am sympathetic to those who do

    Expert mode is literally the answer to anyone whose main complaint is the paths. I didn't even know it existed. I beat single paths a few times as a kid, but I've watched a lot of videos about the game. What the hell?!

    Shadow 05 is a mess.
    It's a fun mess. It's not mega broken like 06. It's a mostly well-functioning game. Fix up some of the bad design decisions (slippery shoes, strict enemy kill missions, bad level designs like The Doom, Lost Impact, and Mad Matrix Dark Mission), and it's a fine game.
    And the story and writing, like the game, are a mess, but a fun mess. It's so edgy and dark and serious in a franchise about talking animals with superpowers that it overflows into being goofy and dumb. Plus there's SOME genuinely good parts of it.

      I have no idea whose idea that cutscene of Shadow saying "Are you kidding me guys? This is like taking candy from a baby, which is fine by me" was, but they deserve a medal for writing one of the dumbest cutscenes ever made.

    On the Devil Doom fight, there's actually a well-known exploit to shred DD's health really quickly. If you spam enough uncharged Chaos Spears and destroy the debris flying around, you'll charge your Dark Meter. The debris constantly respawns, but you should be able to get a full charge in under 10 seconds. Once you've charged up, get close and double-tap Chaos Blast (remember that you have a brief window to use it a second time immediately after firing). Chaos Blast bypasses Devil Doom's invulnerability AND does more damage than Charged Chaos Spear, with a double blast taking out about a third of his health. It's still tight, but much more manageable.

    As a lifelong Shadow the Hedgehog apologist, it's incredibly refreshing to finally see someone online take the game seriously.
    It's truly the best the Adventure era Sonic games have to offer. Outside of a few standout low points, it's one of the few Sonic games that gets that speed is what a Sonic game should be all about; a concept that Sonic Team still struggles with to this day.
    Run-and-gun gameplay was a perfect choice for the series, and the narrative ambition, while flawed in execution, is something I really appreciate.

      I’d love to see this get a remake. The story is really messy, but The Last Way really ties up Shadow’s story and (in my opinion) gave birth to modern Shadow’s self-confidence and generally healthy attitude.

      the middle paragraph here feels friggin' ai generated, with the sonic critique stock phrase used to praise the speed of the game with the _slowest_ speed character in the era
      it's not even like it tracks with the lack of non-speed characters as player characters, because you still get sent on scavenger hunts and extended combat sequences ( most often paced like sonic heroes's before you level up your team, at that ) to vary the pace regardless of the game being all shadow, all the time
