4	''Rogue Trip: Vacation 2012'' is a 1998 vehicular combat game developed by [=SingleTrac=] released exclusively for the Console/PlayStation 1. It is a SpiritualSuccessor to the ''VideoGame/TwistedMetal'' franchise.
5
6	----
7	!!Tropes include:
8
9	* AliensAreBastards: Both the tourist alien and the unlockable character are.
10	* ArrowCam: The Prowler missiles are manually guided by the player. It's extremely difficult to maneuver one into an enemy though, so tapping the fire button twice will cause it to auto-lock on, at the cost of half the damage points.
11	* BettingMiniGame: In the Neon Nightmare level, there is a giant slot machine in the middle of the map. While you can win big, you can also lose ALL your money if the wheels land on three bombs.
12	* BossInMooksClothing: The first boss, Goliath, appears at first as a normal enemy. When you destroy the enemy, it turns into the steamroller.
13	* CoDragons: Goliath and Nightshade are this to Big Daddy.
14	* CrapsackWorld: A post-apocalytptic pile of crap, run by a disgusting MegaCorp run by a very FatBastard that's turned everything that's not radioactive into TheThemeParkVersion.
15	* TheDinnermobile: The Meat Wagon is essentially [[{{Expy}} a copy of the Oscar Mayer Weinermobile]] with a hockey mask welded onto the front end of the sausage.
16	* EarthShatteringKaboom
17	* {{Expy}}: Ratman is this to Batman. His vehicle, "Intruder", heavily resembles the Batmobile.
18	* FanDisservice: The [=SoCal=] level features paintings of Big Daddy in a speedo, and it's '''wrong'''.
19	* FatBastard: Big Daddy.
20	* GameBreakingBug: In the Area 51 level, if you plant an upgraded RLB behind the crashed saucer, teleport to the moon, and detonate it, the Earth will blow up [[DetonationMoon (taking the moon with it)]] and you'll be suspended in weightlessness with infinite upgraded weapons.
21	* HumongousMecha: The BigBad drives one for the final boss fight.
22	* JerkAss: All of the tourists, minus the superhero.
23	* TheMole: The unlockable characters, both bosses and enemies, are this. Fridge Brilliance because, of course they would secretly be Automercenaries, they're playable characters! Lampshaded by the ending cinematic for them, calling them "ringers."
24	* NoFairCheating: If you beat the game with a vehicle unlocked by a cheat code, Mad Jack will tell you to try again, "this time without using a ringer!"
25	* SelfPlagiarism: Remove the tourism and cash mechanics from the game, and you'll see that this game is ultimately no different than [=SingleTrac=]'s earlier ''Twisted Metal 2'', down to having the same physics and feel as that game, only more refined. Having it released so close to ''Twisted Metal III'' didn't help matters either.
