This is not Misaimed Marketing, this is verbal nonsense.


* MisaimedMarketing: The decision to package copies of the game with string cheese, of all products. Shows how badly the game sold. Now "string cheese" is a minor inside joke in the fandom.

Widget Series has been renamed to Quirky Work as per TRS (clearing this out because it's misuse)


* WidgetSeries: This game is approximately 60% sci-fi action adventure, and 40% what is ''up'' with the French? Weirder yet, the PC version of the game was packed in free in packages of string cheese in Canada in early 2009. Aimed at French-Canadians?

Per TRS, this is YMMV

Added DiffLines:

* CameraScrew: Easily the one aspect of the game that received the most criticism is that this game can be argued as having the single worst camera in the history of 3D action games. Not only does trying to control it feel like hostage negotiations, but you have almost no options to adjust in the menu.

* NintendoHard: Not the game itself, but the mini-game you get for obtaining all the pearls in the game. You have to control two pearls with the right and left analogue sticks and ensure that they don't touch walls or other obstacles. Combined with the fact that [[AutoScrollingLevel the level advances so that]] [[CameraScrew sometimes you can't see what's coming]] and you've got a recipe for frustration.

* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: For the game's music, Ubisoft hired a relatively unknown freelance composer named Christophe Heral. Good choice. "Home Sweet Home" and "Hylian Suite" are standout tracks, but there are many good ones. Notably, Creator/{{Ubisoft}} gave out the soundtrack for free with express permission to put it on Torrents.

* {{Woolseyism}}: There's a lot of quirks the English dub added over the original French. Pey'j's "sweet jesus" for example and how the [=DomZ=] sound.

Cross wicking.


* AccidentalInnuendo: When Jade squeezes into a tiny gap to get to a cut-off area, Double H says in response to the fact that he's too darn broad-shouldered to make it through: "Too tight for me! I'll cover your rear."



* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: Chip Cheezum and General Ironicus' Let's Play of the game jokingly suggests that, as a result of his tendency to [[UseYourHead Use His Head]], Double H was brain-damaged well before he was ever introduced to that nasty-ass machine the [=DomZ=] had him in. They further theorize that he was given a copy of the childrens' edition of Carlson and Peeters (to accommodate his impaired thinking), which is also a coloring book. In-game, he's [[CloudCuckoolander goofy]], but still intelligent. Watch him during combat, then watch him again VERY closely while he is breaking barriers for you. You will notice that he uses an energy shield.

** [[spoiler:The aforementioned [[LesCollaborateurs General Kehck]] is the leader of the Alpha Sections, a military organization that, under the guise of benevolent saviors, aides the [=DomZ=] aliens in their attempt to harvest everyone on the planet, just as they have done across hundreds of worlds. Those abducted are transported to the moon where they are sucked dry of all their fluids so that Kehck and the [=DomZ=] Priest may live longer. Throughout the game Kehck uses his PropagandaMachine to urge the people of Hillys to enlist in the Alpha Sections, knowing full well that they'll be slowly converted by the [=DomZ=] into monstrous grotesqueries to act as his army of mooks. When [[PlayerCharacter Jade]] manages to start exposing the truth about the Alpha Sections, Kehck responds by [[WouldHurtAChild kidnapping the war orphans]] Jade's adopted for he and his boss to feed on. He also hooks up Jade's ParentalSubstitute, Pey'j, into a torture machine for three weeks, which eventually ends up killing him.]]
