* Listen to Boss comments during the Eye of the Tiger escort mission. He or she goes from extremly terrefied over it to actualy being more and more unfaced by it the more courage you build up to making comments like: "Well aren't you a little kitten!".

* The "Trouble With Clones..." DLC actually gives the Boss SUPERPOWERS! Super speed, strangth, and the ability to shoot fireballs! Even better is that the mission that gives you the powers sends a whole squad of brutes for you to OneHitKill with your bare hands! The cherry on top is that the game lets players make their own superhero costume or BadAssLongCoat at the clothing stores to wear for their supercharged rampage!

* The mission "http//deckers.die" is reminiscent of {{Tron}}. Granted, if Tron included toilets, blow-up dolls, lags, system failures, and giant phoenix-like bosses that can only be defeated by button-mashing.

* The last mission in the game: A three way war between the remnant of the Syndicate, the Saints, and STAG is raging on the streets of Steelport. You, Pierce and Oleg hit the roads doing what you can where you can to save as many Saints as possible, racing between several locations with combat all around. Then you come to the SadisticChoice. Regardless of which you choose, you have to drive across town, through a war zone, at high speed, dodging tanks, squads of gang members or soldiers, and airstrikes, with BonnieTyler's [[CrowningMusicOfAwesome "I Need A Hero"]] blaring. In any other situation, that song would be high octane Narm, but after the insanity of the past several hours, it's the only song on the soundtrack you want to hear.

* Mister Sunshine's moment has to be when The General cuts his ear off. Hardly sounds awesome, but his reaction to The General drawing a machete? He stands there and takes it, making only a single grunt as his best friend ''saws'' off his ear with the blade. It just cements the fact that this guy is nobody to mess with. It also leads to this strangely heartwarming, but still badass exchange between the two.
--> '''The General''': I took no pleasure in this, my friend. But a price needed to be paid for failure.
--> '''Mr. Sunshine''': Don't worry. I need only one ear to hear the whispers of the Loa.

Added DiffLines:

* The entire Brotherhood arc is just brilliant. What makes it so good is how quickly it degenerates. It starts out looking like it's going to be the most "civil" gang war in the game, as in a "may the best gang win" kind of thing, as Maero tries to form an alliance with the Saints. Then you hear the terms of his proposal. He gets 80% of the weapons shipment and the Saints get 20%, and by extension, about 20% of the city. From there it degenerates into the most violent, personal, brutal, and outright vicious gang war in the entire game, if not the series. [[spoiler:The Boss responds to the insulting offer by blowing up Brotherhood trucks and putting radioactive waste in his tattoo ink, burning his face. Maero and his girlfriend, Jessica, respond by chaining the Boss' protege, Carlos, to the back of a truck and towing him through Stilwater face-first. When the Boss rescues him, s/he's then forced to put him out of his misery. The Boss gets revenge by locking Jessica in the trunk of a car and placing it in a monster truck rally Maero is participating in, then taunting him about it. S/he also cripples his best friend's hand and so and so forth.]] It's part of what makes the fist fight between them in The Siege so brutal and awesome, they both absolutely despise each other and with perfectly legitimate reasons on both sides.

Cyrus is constantly shooting them while having a heated argument with the Senator over radio, without even showing a sign of stress, except at the end when Cyrus is concerned that Monica Hughes is coming to Steelport in light of STAG's lack of results.
