This game's story sucked. The ending makes the story seem like a cross between a Scooby Doo plot and a Metal Gear plot.

On the one hand, the final boss's identity is a secret, and when it's revealed, it turns out to be a guy you saw for a brief period of time only at the very beginning of the game (the Scooby Doo component).

But, when you did see that guy, he was supposed to be like a friend (hence the Metal Gear component).


This EXACT SAME THING happened in Indiana Jones & the Infernal Machine. There's a character you meet in one cinema scene early in the game who is an American CIA officer, so he's supposed to be on your side. Then you don't see him for the rest of the game as you're tailed constantly by the fat Russian dude. But in the end, fat Russian dude turns out to be a not-so-bad-guy-after-all and the CIA officer turns out to be the real villain, even though there's no real motivation for it. He just seems to go bonkers.

Okay, they HAD to have ripped that off of Skyblazer. The difference is that in Skyblazer, it made sense because you got a powerup that allows you to turn into a fiery phoenix earlier in the game, and that's what he uses to fly away.
