The main plot is linear and you approach each of the four areas in a given order. However, there are a lot of sidequests that are optional and when you progress on the main story quests is up to you (hint: to max your cash, visit Venus between each main story quest). So I think it gives you a decent illusion of freedom. Unlike, say, Bioshock or even Deus Ex, where you are pretty much on the rails.

IIRC, there's 5 different endings that you can get- although some of them are similar. I remember the first time I played thru, things ended very badly for me.

The difference is if the crate is opened, and by whom. I sided with the Anarchs, left the tower and the Prince opened it. All possibles are Keui-Jin (LaCroix dies, you're betrayed by Ming and tied to the crate and sink), Camarilla (crate ends up in warehouse), Anarchs (either you or the Prince can open it), Prince (both die when Prince opens the crate) or on your own (either the Prince dies or you open the crate and die too).

Anarchs and Camarilla are really the only "good" endings in the game, where you survive.
