This game basically was my childhood. But does it hold up? kinda. I really like the movement system and how you can really sort of jump and glide around the city and scale buildings while still feeling mortal and vulnerable cough cough Prototype. The combat has some nice variety in its power ups and there uses. The place where it falls down is its visuals and the binary choice element of the story. The visuals are just boring generic while the cutscenes have this pseudo comic book aesthetic that the rest of the game would've been better off emulating. The story is fine, I like the ending twist, but the binary moral choice really kills it. Instead of only rewarding players for being as good or as evil as possible, the game should've just been designed so that there is no 100% right choice and your powers unlock normally and its up to the powers you choose and how you wield them that determines your morality.
