6	* All of the amazing gameplay feats that you can do in this superhero-like WideOpenSandbox game:
7	** Performing a homing flying kick towards helicopters. This action is memorable enough that it achieved AscendedMeme status amongst critics and even in the sequel. Or with the Whipfist power, you can hook yourself into a helicopter and hijack it mid-flight.
8	** The Thermobaric Tank has a unique mechanic that fires off shots similar to tactical warheads. What's awesome is that the shot's visual effect is also accompanied by the game being temporarily filtered in monochrome and that you can notice the explosion from afar.
9	** The Devastators, along with their slow-mo and camera panning effects that just showcases utter destruction all around you.
10	** The game zooms in every time you consume enemies, with the aftereffect of having you watch as the poor victim turns into biomass that gets slowly absorbed inside Alex's body. You can do this as much as you like in crowded areas, provided you are not interrupted by the military.
11	** The [[DeathFromAbove air-to-ground moves]] that Alex can perform, especially if done from a high tower or building, as they will cause a massive shockwave on your way down.
12	* The ending cutscene. After flying a nuclear bomb off the coast of New York and causing it to detonate in the water surrounding the island, Alex lays in pieces on the outskirts of the city. A crow attempts to eat his remains, only to be promptly consumed as Alex's mutilated body rebuilds itself FromASingleCell, proving that he has become NighInvulnerable. And he still has [[SequelHook things to take care of]].
13	* After spending a few missions with a parasite inhibiting his powers, Mercer eventually devours a Hunter packed full of superpower-restoring antibodies. A brief cutscene follows, in which Mercer develops a BladeBelowTheShoulder, Organic Body Armor and a SculptedPhysique, and says: "[[HesBack I'm]] [[LampshadeHanging back.]]"
14	** And considering how frustrating it was to basically not be able to do anything while you were a victim of BroughtDownToNormal (relatively) you will most likely go "Oh, HELL YES!"
15	* The secret cutscene unlocked by completing all the scientist side-missions.
16	-->'''Karen Parker:''' ''"Oh, my God. Oh, my God, he's here. He's in the building!"''
17	-->'''Alex Mercer (removes disguise):''' ''"[[NightmareFuel I]] [[TranquilFury know]]."''
18	* The fight with Elizabeth Greene. Times Square, tanks, helicopters, and infantry fighting against the infected, with a {{Kaiju}}-sized beast in the center of it all. And Alex is [[ImAHumanitarian hungry]].
19	* How about the final boss fight? The easiest way to win it is to grab 3x your size airplane bombs and throw them at the boss. For that matter, anytime you pick up something bigger then yourself to throw at things.
20	* [[BadassNormal Cross]] taking on [[PersonOfMassDestruction Mercer]] in single (well, kinda single) combat and living to tell the tale, by taking advantage of his freaking ''flashbacks''.
