That only really applies to the dark forces which of course are just a bunch of unintelligent monsters. GUN doesn't attack you the first time, but then they call you a thread because you were seen talking and being around the dark forces so in reality, the factions attacking you make sense. Heck, going the android route there are no factions.To be honest it is a love or hate game. The main problem are the stupid guns, the change to the 4Kids dub and that each faction will always attack you, regardless of allegiance.
But, if you can ignore that, then it can be fun. I repeat, it canbe fun.

Now i always wondered what the big deal about this game was. I believe one MAIN but not the only factor in people giving this low ratings is the fact the game is in the Sonic universe and people compare it from that. the game on its own is good, and you have to realize you are not Sonic in this game and this is not supposed to be just taking Sonic type design and slapping Shadow on it. The only thing wrong about the game in my opinion is that it solves absolutely nothing and it does not reveal anything because everything is either not connected or contradicts itself. On the other hand, the game controls well, Shadow moves well with your analog, you can choose your own path, get different endings, interesting battles, and pretty neat scenarios. The gun play really depends on your weapon so it's a bit mixed. The grinding in some areas is a bit off, but th fast pacing and the jumps are pretty well formed, some areas have nice themes with music to go with, hidden passages, and some stages are pretty big. the Save points are pretty balanced as well with their placement. Chaos blast has its uses and it pretty nice to have a lot more attack variety as you do have additional ground moves, your air combo is next to useless. however, Choas Control is mixed with it mostly being a nuisance depending on what mission objective you choose to go with out of the usual 2 (sometimes 3) routes you can take to continue the game. Also, skipping save points. This makes you backtrack, which in some levels is ok, some makes no sense, and some require you to backtrack in a linear level where you can't see behind you because in these areas the camera does not turn around all the time. Still optional/ Other than that i see nothing wrong with the game I mean sure, there's the semi-useless weapons and hidden locked doors that have a mixed of cool and useless items, but those are pretty optional. you have a lot of options, especially in bigger levels (like the ark as one example), it has interesting plots although the real one has no connection to the rest of the game or future and past games involving shadow not solving a damn thing, but otherwise, i see no actual problem with this game with most things being optional and the main problem being some small amounts of grinds, some bad weapons, and chaos control. aside from that, there really aren't enough issues that I can see that make it get so much hate even from some non-sonic fans.
