* CrowningMusicOfAwesome: Despite most of the soundtrack consisting of crap generic faux-1960's guitar riffs, the opening song, "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LX6Q6cTEreo Pressure and Time]]" by ''Music/RivalSons'' is pretty damn good. Then again, it's a licensed song from 2 years before the game came out that has nothing to do with the game so it barely even counts.

(It probably helps that it's actually licensed music, by an actual band, rather than a piece composed by the same guys who did the rest of the songs.)

** An environmental kill in the church where you fight King Dick has Jake repeatedly slam an enemy's head against a pew. The pew is DESTRUCTIBLE and King Dick spends the entire sequence throwing DYNAMITE around. if the pew is destroyed, the hotspot remains and Jake will simply [[http://i.imgur.com/U3lCKGh.gif slam the guy's head into nothing]].

* SpecialEffectFailure: [[UpToEleven SO DAMN MANY!!!]] Even worse considering how the game was in DevelopmentHell for 5 years, and that even ''sound effects'' are messed up: there's only one kind of explosion noise, the bike engine is an annoying drone after you get it past 40 miles an hour, and the voice acting is just DullSurprise over and over. AngryJoe claimed that ''[[InsultToRocks sound files available for free on the Internet had better quality then the sound effects in the game]]''!
