* ThatOneLevel: The Demolition Derby. The goal is simple: hit Maureen's car head-on. Unfortunately, she's being pinned by the Boom-Boom Brothers, and if you try to get close to her, they will smash into you and push you away. There's no time limit, but the solution is not immediately obvious, despite multiple hints being dropped: [[spoiler: you need to discover that landing ''on top'' of a car will cause it to stall, and that one of the cars, once it stalls out, will never move again. Then you have to bump that car into the path of the ramp, go up the ramp at the right time, and hover ''over'' the stalled car to land ''on top'' of the Boom-Boom Brothers, which will stall them out and give you time to smash into Maureen.]] The janky controls don't help.

Uncanny Valley is IUEO now and the subjective version has been split; cleaning up misuse and ZCE in the process


* UncannyValley: During close up shots, the characters' teeth are all bizarrely detailed compared to the simple design of the rest of their faces, making them really unnerving. Ripburger gets it the worst with each of his teeth being individually detailed.

Per the article, a Game Breaker is "often controversial" and "unexpectedly trumps" all other gameplay elements. The chainsaw's strength is not unexpected considering the only way to get it is to throw fertilizer in Razor's eyes, which is also a one-shot KO. It's quite clearly Purposely Overpowered.


* GameBreaker: The Chainsaw allows you to one-shot everyone at biker fights, except for the Cavefish.

They sabotaged Ben's bike so he'd come off the road while pursuing them and be killed, wrapping him up as a loose end in a way that looks like an accident.


* FridgeLogic: Why does Bolus bother to bring Ben's bike back to the Kickstand? Not only would it be more expedient for him to just dump it somewhere and be picked up by Corley and Ripburger's car, rather than come back, put Ben's jacket back onto his unconscious body in the dumpster, and then hoof it all the way after the car.

too good to last cleanup


* TooGoodToLast - The game had ''two'' sequels canceled in development. The first fell apart due to problems between the staff and [[ExecutiveMeddling "a particular person in management"]]. The other made it as far as an E3 playable demo before suddenly being canned without explanation. Since TimSchafer is no longer with LucasArts, nor is anyone involved in the game, it is questionable that it will ever be revived.
** Which is probably a good thing, since what we saw of those sequels didn't look good.
