I would have liked it better if it was just straight cyberpunk.  I did really like the atmosphere.  Ending really sucked, though.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Which one? I went with the pro-civilization one first time around, and felt good by it.  :showoff:

The last level was weird, and the boss fight sucked.  I remember there were a bunch of buttons to push and they each gave you a different ending.  All the endings were just stock footage.

Well, endings usually are.

Most endings are not made of stock footage.

I played that a few years back.  Well the first 30 minutes of it.  Free isn't good enough!

My cousin and I played that when he visited me one summer. We alternated playing the levels. Blast in the dark. :ph34r:

My problem is you apparently differentiating stock footage and what basically amounts to footage made in-game. Plus Deus Ex made use of "stock footages" throughout the game so you really shouldn't have been surprised by the endings being the same.

Huh?  The game endings used actual film footage of events, not things rendered in the engine.  Like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zkj4b7-r4MA
