Anyway, to participate in your topic: yes that twist
was incredible. Surprise isn't even the word for it when I found out what happened, and even in following playthroughs it still gets to me everytime. I don't see what was wrong with its gameplay--all the SH games have shitty controls--and I don't see SH2 as anything short of brilliant.
