* NarmCharm: Defenders of the twist take the attitude that while it's jarring and a little forced, the suddenness and lack of foreshadowing due add to its impact for younger audience. Younger fans have claimed that this film helped them understand the [[spoiler:true tragedy of 9/11. By having a character the audience has spent the last 90 minutes getting to know abruptly killed in the attacks, it places the audience in their perspective. The real attacks, like most sudden and violent events, also came out of nowhere, and countless people suffered or died, the only difference being that such a sudden twist is sometimes seen as bad storytelling.]]

* MagnificentBastard: Johnny Greenteeth is the leader of the Leapers and the only one among them, who managed to retain at least part of his mind, after mutation. Formerly known as Dr. John Green, who got betrayed and experimented on by Dr. Sebastian Quaid, Johnny Greenteeth remained hidden for many years in a Leaper infested tunnels, forming a bond with them and keeping his identity a secret, until Nilin found him and seemengly defeated him. After the Memorize Corporation started the Reconversion Project, allowing Dr. Quaid to experiment and brainwash Leapers into being slaves, Johnny got furious and used Nilin to get inside Quaid's laboratory, remaining hidden the entire time, until he tricked Quaid to come right to him and then killed him. Deciding to destroy the laboratory and the entire prison complex to "burn away all horrible memories", Johnny activated the self-destruct sequence and then tries to kill Nilin, almost succeeding, failing only due to Bad Request distracting him.

**[[MadDoctor Dr. Sebastian Quaid]] is a chief [[MadScientist scientist]] at La Bastille prison, who regularly engages in torturing countless prisoners and using them as test subjects of his experiments, which causes many of them to either die or mutate into feral Leapers. Taking the most active role in the Reconversion Project, Quaid [[PlayingWithSyringes experimented]] on thousands of Leapers to turn them into obedient slaves, as well as specifically draining the minds of prisoners to turn them into Leapers and repeat the process and turn them into slaves as well. Defying the orders of Scylla Cartier-Wells to stop the Reconversion Project, Quaid openly desires to destroy the "individuality" of the city and use the newly created army of mind-broken Leapers for his own purposes.
**[[WardensAreEvil Madame Astrid Voorhees]] is the head of [[HellholePrison La Bastille prison]], which she keeps as a harsh, brutal hellhole, where Dr. Sebastian Quaid experiments on countless prisoners and the guards freely abuse them, causing many to die or be turned into feral Leapers. Regularly engaging in torturing prisoners for fun, Madame also took the memories of all prisoners to keep them docile, which left many of them in [[AndIMustScream a state of constant pain and suffering]]. When [[PlayerCharacter Nilin]] breaks into La Bastille prison, Madame activates the Brain Drainer in an effort to destroy her, not caring that the machine would destroy the minds of any prisoner caught in its sight.

* IdiotPlot: Nilin mindlessly obeys Edge for the entire game. At first it makes sense because he's her only ally and -- having lost her memory -- she has no context for anything going on around her. Then there's a mysteriously devastating flood that just so happens to have occurred immediately after she gives him access to the dams, which he told her to get. Nilin doesn't put two and two together until long, long after the fact.
* KarmaHoudini: To varying degrees, [[spoiler:Nilin and the Cartier-Wells]], depending on what exactly happens after the events of the game.
** [[spoiler:Nilin's actions in the game have directly or by proxy caused several hundred deaths in addition to her original crime of manipulating Frank into committing suicide. While she is obviously uneasy about her involvement, actual punishment doesn't seem to be in sight.]]
** [[spoiler:The Cartier-Wells have parts of their memories scrambled into more or less traumatic events, but come through the game intact -- though it seems probable that Memorize will go under. Their own relationship and their relationship to Nilin seem improved from the start of the game, with the new realizations from their remixed memories.]]

It's got a solid aesthetic, ambitious narrative and gameplay concepts around altering memories, and serviceable combat, but it's also been criticized for [[TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot not going far enough as their rich potential would suggest]].
