Some have even argued that releasing it wouldn't have affected EA's reputation much, if at all, considering that EA themselves were no strangers to violent video games even before this game.

About fans or critics praising it such audiences don't think it measures up. Not just disappointment.

* HypeBacklash: Upon being cancelled and permanently shelved by EA after they bought out Virgin Interactive, many gamers were eager to see for themselves what the new publisher decided was just too horrific for them to ever experience. Now that it's readily attainable and playable through emulation, it's a bit of a letdown to discover that, disturbing thematic elements aside, the violence and gore really isn't that much worse than the stuff in ''VideoGame/MortalKombat4'', which EA claimed was perfectly kosher in comparison to ''Thrill Kill''.

** [[AxCrazy Cleetus]]: [[ImAHumanitarian Cleetus T. Radley]] was a cannibalistic SerialKiller before dying of a tapeworm. Partaking in the Thrill Kill tournament to be brought back from the dead, Cleetus will often devour or dismember his opponents. If he is brought back, Cleetus will toss a health inspector into a meat grinder for giving him a bad review. It is then revealed he is now [[TheSecretOfLongPorkPies selling his victims' meat]] to the unsuspecting masses.
** [[DeadlyDoctor Dr. Faustus]]: [[MadDoctor Gabriel Faustus]] was a deranged plastic surgeon who disfigured many of his patients for no other reason than [[ForTheEvulz because he could]]. Upon dying and going to Hell, he took part in the Thrill Kill tournament to be reincarnated. Faustus is an animal in combat, often [[ManBitesMan biting off his opponents' heads]] or disfiguring them like he did his previous victims. If he wins and is reincarnated, Faustus kills one of his patients while trying to attach his signature jaws to their face.
** [[AnimalisticAbomination Mammoth]]: [[TheBrute Franklin Peppermint]] was a postal worker who [[GoingPostal killed his coworkers and customers after being fired]]. Becoming a monstrous, fur-covered beast in Hell, Mammoth joins the Thrill Kill tournament to be resurrected. Mammoth uses his immense strength to [[AnArmAndALeg tear his opponents limb from limb]], often beating them to death with the severed limbs or just leaving them to bleed to death. If he wins, he is brought back to Earth still trapped in his monstrous form, and proceeds to [[WouldHarmASenior kill an innocent old lady]] by stuffing her and [[BadPeopleAbuseAnimals her dog]] in a mailbox.
