History VideoGame / ReservoirDogs

* ActionizedSequel: The correct term would be "actionized expansion of the original film". The game lets you see the botched robbery and has numerous graphic shootouts and intense car chases.
* AdaptationalDyeJob: Mr. Orange is a redhead, "Nice Guy" Eddie's hair is longer, and Mr. Blue's mustache is missing and has grey hair in a ponytail. Taken UpToEleven with Marvin Nash, who is ''bald''.

* ExplosiveBarrels: Propane tanks are strewn across some levels.

* InkSuitActor: Averted; Only "Nice Guy" Eddie, Mr. Pink, and Mr. Blonde best resemble their actors in the film.

* MoreDakka: In the film, the characters only used pistols and revolvers. In the game, you could use shotguns, machine pistols [=SMGs=], assault rifles, sniper rifles, a tranquilizer rifle (ironically found in one of [[AxCrazy Mr. Blonde's]] levels) [[TheLastofTheseIsNotLiketheOthers paintball-guns]], tear gas grenades, smoke grenades, Molotov cocktails and even a SWAT-issued ballistic shield.

* IndieGame: The game has amateur graphics, only one actor from the original film and the company that made it only had one previous game to their record. This could have been intentional, since ''Reservoir Dogs'' was an indie film. They ''did'' manage to get the whole licensed soundtrack to the film, so brownie points for that.

* MultipleEndings: Since the game follows the film, most of the story is dictated by the film but [[spoiler: depending on how well the player did depends on what happens to Mr. Pink. [[spoiler: He either escapes with the diamonds ("professional"), without the diamonds (partly-"psycho"), shot by the police ("psycho"), or caught by the police ("neutral")]].

In the game there's two extremes of how to play "Psycho" (killing everybody) or "Professional" (stealth, taking hostages and neutralising the police).

* AnachronicOrder: The first mission is escaping the building with Mr Blue. The second is driving to the heist.

* TheDevTeamThinksOfEverything: Evidence of the player previously being in an area as an another character will remain when second characters go through (e.g. Mr White going through part of Mr Pink's first area). Not only simple things like unlocked doors, etc., but if the player kills a cop as Mr Pink (Chapter 2) - the corpse will still be there when Mr Blue arrives and somebody will be crying over it.
* GoryDiscretionShot: When a character performs a [[LimitBreak "Signature Move"]] in the video game (said "Signature Move" involves inflicting a horrific torture onto your human shield, somehow causing everyone in the area to surrender).
* GunsAkimbo: Mr White starts out with his two pistols but any character can pick them up.

[[spoiler:He either escapes with the diamonds ("professional"), without the diamonds (partly-"psycho"), shot by the police ("psycho") or caught by the police ("neutral")]].

* PunkInTheTrunk: One driving mission involves Mr Blonde driving the kidnapped cop back to the meeting point. If the player drives too slow for a certain amount of time he jumps out (as the boot opened in a crash) and flees.

The video game version of ''Film/ReservoirDogs'', made in 2006, allowing the player to take part in the heist that was alluded to in the film.

* BannedInChina: It's illegal to own a copy and/or import it in New Zealand. Australia also banned it.

* HumanShield

* PacifistRun: Not killing hostages and getting the police out of the way peacefully results being a "professional".
