Learning that everything you've played up to the final part of the game, where you died, was a simulation to prepare you for humanity's last stand. During the game you had all those visual clues and visions telling you about the truth, even your HUD display dissapears when you wake up.
Also, you live some parts that you've already seen but since Time Travel is part of the scenario, you live them again from a different perspective. Awesome game!
One of the best, if not, THE best scenario I've ever seen!
I would definately have to go with Breakdown having one of the cooler end game twists, also a good reason to want to beat the hell out of the 'last' boss. Long spoiler ahead.
Spoiler:
When you get your ass knocked out by the Solus, almost as if you are paralyzed, and Alex starts to try and beat him down, seeing what he does to her, and what her actions are afterwards nearly caused me to lose it, I think.
Then when you see the nuke fall in from above, you think that it's the end...but then BAM...reawaken in the future with a new goal...get stronger, go back, and kick some ass, and pretty much connects on how Alex knows you from the beginning, and why she thought you were so weak.
The scene when you are injected with the perfect T'ellengan(sp?) cells, jumping up through the grate and just going to down is still one of my most favorite parts to any game I've played.
All in all, being able to choose whether or not to stay in your world (bad ending?) and going into Alex's world to save hers (good ending) was quite well done as well.
All in all, this game DESERVES a sequel. Shame it had to be over shadowed by games like Half Life 2 and Halo. Good FPS games in their own right, but do not come CLOSE to the way Breakdown put you in the game.
I asked a guy at E3 last, a representative at Namco's booth and he said nothing was planned. Ggrrrrrr...
