Awesome, guys. Just awesome. Now, the morality choices at the beginning were stupid. But the ones nearer the end... wow! Great job with them. Now, it was all standard comic book / game story, of course, but the ending was also really well done. Despite the fact that I guessed the big reveal before the first boss fight (well, not all of it, the time travel part wasn't quite what I'd been expecting), it was well done enough to keep me on my toes trying to figure out how it could be that I wasn't wrong. Because I knew I wasn't, there was too much obvious... foreshadowing? is that the right word?... for that (note to your authors, might want to hold back just a little... but then, maybe most people didn't figure it out until they were told. Even though it totally felt like, "hey, guess what, you're _______" while I was playing it...)

I think you left a few loose ends, though. What was up with Sasha? You had her mind controlly voice show up near the end but didn't do anything with it. Huh? Also, I think Cole's an idiot, and you didn't make me like Trish enough for it to be a really good scene. I liked her a little, so it was bothersome in that damn-I-know-I'm-supposed-to-be-upset-here way, but I didn't like her enough to be really mad. Now, I did like Zeke, though, which is why "Cole's an idiot." I mean, how in the world would it have helped anything at the prison? He'd just have had a dead best friend. And then, for Cole not to predict calling him to go up to the tower would be disasterous, yeah, DUH, moron-- after you kept going on about him not having powers and him continually complaining that you're treating him as useless because of it...? Bringing him to the tower was a really stupid thing. I didn't quite understand why he needed to be there anyways, all deus ex machina like. (I do understand the whole blaming him for what happened thing at the end, though I hope he can get over it since it wasn't Zeke's fault.)

Still, it brought about that not-happy ending, so I'm cool with it. I wonder what was going on over there when Kessler and Zeke were together though? I mean, Zeke wanted super powers, right, so did he get them? Or was Kessler just getting Zeke away for informational purposes?

I already want to play it again. Evil this time. Oh yes. Although, I don't quite know why he'd be evil starting out, since as I said, the moral choices presented at the beginning were... pretty clear, and since he wasn't supposed to be a bad kind of person before, I don't see how he'd just suddenly become one. Also, some of them seemed more like neutral choices rather than evil, as it were... standing back and not helping someone isn't... you know, supervillain worthy or anything. It's not good by any stretch of the imagination, but evil? I don't think watching a firefight instead of getting involved is going to make anyone think of someone as a particularly bad person-- maybe it's because if you were playing as evil, you start out with the terrorist thing anyways, so it alters people's perceptions? Yeah, I dunno. Anyways, it was only in the last two major choices that I felt myself truly swayed by the "evil" choice.

I guess everyone's a hero, in their own not-that-heroic way?
