* CrackIsCheaper: There was a physical release of the [[UsefulNotes/Playstation4 PS4]] remaster...but if you're looking at a US copy specifically, you're gonna have to spend a fair bit of cash. That said, an English physical release also appeared in both Asia and the UK, and they're both cheaper to obtain, and run fine on consoles of all regions.

** Both missions in the Special Services Pack. In the first mission, you must fly around the map escorting civilians to a safe point as you're being attacked by Nevi. Don't bother killing the Nevi--they immediately respawn. The first half of this actually isn't so bad since there's a relatively Nevi-free path available and the civilians aren't right next to active Nevi when you pick them up. In the second half, you're ''mobbed'' by Nevi that are ''right next to the civilians'', and one hit will likely cause you to drop your payload into the abyss--that is, if you're not simply killed. The second mission? More of the same.

The second mission? More mission has you fighting fires that have spread across the military airship and the city around you. You have to extinguish the flames by lifting and hurling fire extinguishers (of which 3 exist on the ship), or water tanks located on top of various buildings throughout the city. All the while, a timer in the form of the same.airship's physical integrity is counting down. The annoying part is that, periodically, ''more'' fires sprout up on the airship, forcing you to go get more water tanks, which are finite and located further and further from the ship the more you have to use. Meanwhile, Nevi are all over the city, and they love to try and hit you when you are carrying a water tank.

* LesYay: There's a small, but very noticeable amount between Kat and Aki. Notably, in a conversation right before the final mission, Kat basically asks Aki out on a date, and Aki suggests instead they stay in and watch TV together. While it's pretty clear that Aki's reasons are because she can sense something bad is going to happen, it's not hard to see the romantic undertones.

* ThatOneLevel: The second mission in the Special Services Pack is easily the most frustrating and unforgiving in the game. The first half, which isn't so bad, involves fighting off a few waves of Nevi without being able to use any Gravity shift powers. The second half, however, ramps up the frustration as Kat must fly back and forth across the map repeatedly to retrieve water tanks and put out a fire on the Jelly Fish battleship before it crashes and deal with projectile Nevi that will make her drop the water tanks if she takes a hit.
