It also needed less linear map design.  The game cribbed pretty hard from Half-Life in a few spots.  I also felt like the in-betweens of levels would have been a good time to let the player loose in the city.  Also the plot felt like brickwalls to the frantic gameplay.

Less linear levels would have been nice, although time trialing levels has taught me that what appeared to be fairly linear levels really weren't as much as I though. The use of the gobsmackingly gorgeous in-game engine for cut-scenes rather than Flash 6 would have been a good call too, I think, though for the life of me I can't give a shit about the story in any case. They had a lot they tried to do in this game, and I think the crucial thing is that they at least succeeded in creating a first person free-running simulator that works incredibly well. I now want them to make a very good game out of it.
