Overall, the game is recognized as a solid installment in the series, with a compelling storyline and character development.
“Great story, lots of freedom, choices really count.”
“It's a fun superhero story featuring quirky characters and plenty of meaningful choice and character development potential.”
“With a minimum of railroading on Moser's part or conscious effort on mine, my wholesomely heroic character (think Steve Rogers at the beginning of Captain America: The First Avenger) was developing a cynical streak and confronting powerful temptations while still striving to cleave to his ideals, and I was so immersed in the story and character that, looking back, I have a keener memory of watching him struggle than of actually being the one making the decisions.”
“The way his storyline was resolved simply felt contrived, as a character I've played as fairly sensible decided to do something monumentally stupid for no evident reason other than the plot said so.”
“Like how and why did you have me go through all of those side missions then?”
“While less control over the story path, I found the second installment to be a whole lot better than the first.”
