I actually JUST FINISHED that game again a couple weeks ago. I agree the ending was rushed%2C but it was more because you weren%27t quite sure what was going on right at the end than obvious plot threads being left out. Then again%2C it%27s an FPS%2C so it%27s not like you%27re going to -miss- any plot%2C it%27s all linear. It felt to me like they had everything but it was a bit short on story for my taste. It was a good game%2C though%2C and captured the feel of the original movie perfectly. The only really sour note in the story is right at the end%2C when the three villains went into the machine. Why would they have chosen to do that%2C for heaven%27s sake%3F They%27re not fighters.
