* AntiClimaxBoss: Martin gets a lot of flack for being a very lame Rank #2 and finisher to Area 66. The concept of fighting an alien piloting a HumongousMecha ''sounds'' like it'd be cool PreFinalBoss material, but in practice, Martin is such a colossal close-range beast that the only viable strategy is to use rocket launcher pickups and shoot at him from afar, which is simply not as fun or satisfying as slicing him to pieces with your chainsaw (unlike every other boss in the game, [[BloodlessCarnage there's virtually no blood whatsoever]], not even for the finisher). While it's not a particularly hard or even "unfair" boss, it falls glaringly short in spectacle as many other bosses in the game.

Not really applicable, also has a justifying edit.


* QuestionableCasting: Creator/JohnDiMaggio one could understand as he loves doing voice-over roles like this. But ''Creator/GregProops?!'' How the heck did SEGA swing him into this? Then again, if you've heard his actual stand-up.....

* QuirkyWork: The game takes the violent gameplay and BlackHumour from ''VideoGame/NoMoreHeroes'' and mixes it with the black and white artstyle from ''ComicBook/SinCity'' and the dystopian plot of ''Film/TheRunningMan'', creating a universe that is as wacky and surreal as it is disturbing.

* AcceptableTargets: [=Deathwatch=] takes a lot of inspiration from Nazis and there are some nazi connotations found in the game (ranging from Twirlenkiller's Nazi uniform, Big Bull Crocker's jacket, Death and Honor being similar to "Blood and Honor" (an infamous neo-Nazi music promotion network). Each of whom are killed brutally by Jack as both the audience and commentators cheer him on as he executes them.

** [[CorruptCorporateExecutive Noa]] is the CEO of [=DeathWatch=], and [[spoiler:Leo Fallmont's [[TheDragon second-in-command]]]]. Cutting off all access to roads and technology in Jefferson Island, Noa unleashes a deadly virus that will kill everyone within 24 hours, promising a vaccine to those who kill--even suggesting starting with family members and neighbors--with the last one standing winning $100 million. Turning the [[GladiatorGames DeathWatch games]]--having previously been created for nations to engage in less bloody wars--into a [[ImmoralRealityShow violent reality show]] where the wealthy bid on contestants, Noa reaps most of the profits for himself, doing whatever he can to keep sponsors funding the games.

* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: Mad World is one of the few games with an indie hip-hop soundtrack and it sounds really good.

I'll give you Twirlenkiller and Big Bull, but there no less than 9 people famously nicknamed "Black Baron", so it's a stretch to say his name is definitely a Nazi reference. Far more likely to be a coincidence.
