Line 45:
* [[Infinity-1 Sword]]: The inertial element can one-hit kill any minor enemy and do [[For Massive Damage|massive damage]] to bosses. On the other hand, it has the lowest rate of fire and one of the smallest clip sizes in the game, [[Difficult but Awesome|forcing you to actually aim rather than spread bullets willy-nilly]].
* [[Internet Backlash]]: A minor one. Thanks to some anti-homosexual themes in ''Empire'', there was brief talk of a boycott of the game. It ultimately didn't matter since the story of the game and the book barely cross over.
* [[It Gets Easier]]: At one point in the game, Jason notes with a chill that it's rather easy for him to shoot people now. [[Playing
{{quote| '''Jason:''' Killing's getting easier. Not sure if that's good or bad. [''shaky breath''] {{spoiler|...It's good.}}}}
* [[Implacable Man]]: You, if you find the Fusion Helmet. As a bonus, the forcefield that allows this requires that you don't increase your movement speed beyond [[Unflinching Walk]] if you want it to stay active.
Line 76:
* [[Powered Armor]]: You eventually come across the Omega Armor. It is deeply entertaining to use, especially when fully assembled.
* [[Railing Kill]]: You get an achievement for doing it 100 times!
* [[Right Man in
* [[Scenery Porn]]: Go to the surface, and pick pretty much any location.
* [[Sequence Breaking]]: The Foam allows this, with proper use. In fact, the game seems designed around encouraging sequence breaks, [[Metroidvania|which is appropriate]].
* [[Shout-Out]]: To ''[[Metroid]]'' of course, although the grappling hook pistol is called the [[The Legend of Zelda|hookshot...]] The developers also mention ''[[G.I. Joe]]'' as an inspiration.
** The third spider tank boss fight is an homage to the fight at the end of ''[[Ghost in
** I see where your name comes from, [[The Bourne Series|Jason]] [[James Bond|Fleming]]!
** One of the Master Achievements is called Jason Bailey, a reference to [[Metroid]]'s Justin Bailey password.
Line 88:
* [[Story Breadcrumbs]]: Much of the plot can be gathered from guards who talk to one another when you're not killing them.
* [[Super Speed]]: About halfway through the game you are given Friction Dampeners that triple your speed. A few of the more interesting power-up placements involve solving a few logic puzzles that can only be solved with the gravity-busting properties of the boots. Sadly, you cannot [[Metroid|shinespark]], but you can use a later triple-jump ability to abuse the boots' charge-up time.
* [[Tempting Fate]]: In the opening sequence, the [[Player Character]]'s armour locks up, via a security measure, after he beats all the bad guys attacking the Vice President. Then his [[Voice
