Shadow The Hedgehog 2

Shadow the Hedgehog 2 is a 3rd person shooter that is a sequel to the 2005 original

Plot
It is basically a rewritten Sonic 06,but has a branching system, and reintroduces Nack the Weasel as Shadow's new rival. It is a 3rd person shooter with the mechanics of the sonic series added in

Shadow Story
His story opens in the midst of a rescue mission of Rouge the Bat, who was sent to retrieve the "Scepter of Darkness" from Eggman's base at White Acropolis, and has not been heard from since. Shadow invades the base and finds Rouge in the midst of accomplishing her mission. They escape to the site that was formerly the castle of Soleanna's kings where they are confronted by Dr. Eggman, who attempts to retrieve his stolen property. Eggman's robots swoop down to attack, and in the heat of the battle, the Scepter of Darkness is completely shattered. With the seal destroyed, Mephiles is freed.

Resurrected in the likeness of Shadow through his shade, Mephiles the Dark introduces himself and hints at past history that the two shared. Mephiles, shows his ambition to Shadow, which is oddly similar to that of Black Doom, whom he knows for reasons he don't want to say.

The story's progression then depends on the player's actions of deciding the path Shadow takes by choosing which missions to complete in each stage. Some scenarios will reveal certain information about Shadow's past including flashbacks to the Space Colony ARK and Maria and the sealing of Mephiles and the scepter of darkness. All of the story paths lead to one of the following unique endings depending on how much Shadow aids the protagonists and GUN forces or Mephiles and the Solaris followers:
 * If Shadow chooses to aid Mehpiles and the followers in their conquest of the planet, then he will either become a servant of Iblis, defeat and kill Dr. Eggman or even betray Mephiles and claim the universe for his own. In the Darkest scenario, Shadow vows to destroy the planet with the power of the Chaos Emeralds.
 * If Shadow chooses to remain neutral to both parties, then he will get in a rivalry with Nack the Weasel and eventually betray Eggman or have Shadow join eggman again
 * If Shadow chooses to aid the protagonists in combating Mephlies, he will either change the future, or fight with Sonic to proclaim himself the most powerful hedgehog in the world. In the best Hero scenario, Shadow defeats Mephiles and it ends on a cliffhanger until the final story.

Nack Story
Nack's story is more of a straight line, it is like a series of missions which has little to do with the main story. It's more of a different mode than an actual story.
