1* AntiClimaxBoss: Tarantula's boss battle is done solely through ActionCommands while the game's main antagonist doesn't even get the dignity of a true battle, with his death being only a cutscene.
2* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: More like a Crowning Soundtrack Of Awesome, really. This was actually what they were going for. They succeeded.
3--> '''Brian [=LeBarton=] (the composer)''': I wanted music that would scare the shit out of you, make you feel like you're in the game. It had to put you on edge and freak your brain out. Face-melting, musical debauchery.
4** While in an elevator once, Rubi does a kickass harmonica solo.
5* CompleteMonster: [[NonActionBigBad Rupert Pelham]] is the leader of Tiger Claw, a drug organization which sells the brutal drug Dragon Breath. Forming Tiger Claw to distribute his drugs internationally, Rupert uses his organization’s power and fortune to control half of Hong Kong, allowing corrupt cops and criminals to roam the streets. Wanting less competition, he plans to kill William and Trevor Ackers, leaders of the Ackers syndicate. Posing as William Ackers, he hires [[PlayerCharacter Rubi Malone]] to bring him Trevor. After Rubi brings Trevor to him, he orders [[TheDragon Tarantula]] to decapitate him and has [[PsychoForHire Ze Kollektor]] stab Rubi, leaving her for dead. Finding out that Rubi is after him, he has his goons kidnap Ming to fatally torture him for her location. Making Zhi knock Rubi out for him, Rupert has his men electrocute her for information. Breaking into William’s mansion, he has Tarantula kill his bodyguards before trying to kill him. Interrupted by Rubi’s arrival, Rupert orders Tarantula to kill her, not caring when she’s killed, immediately attempting to gun Rubi down himself.
6* GoddamnedBats: ''Blockers''. They have to be dispatched via manually aimed headshot, or explosive, or melee, because they'll stand there and block your offhand weapon if you autotarget them. They also hit pretty hard if they get to melee.
7* LesYay: Kafka seems to have a bit of a thing for Rubi. The misson you play for her is called [[PunBasedTitle "Falling for Kafka"]].
8** Well, the fact that she was feeling up Rubi might a suggest she might have a ''bit'' more than a crush on Rubi. This being Kafka who knows what she really wants to do to Rubi.
9* SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome:
10** Pretty much the entire game counts, but there are some especially awesome levels which involve Rubi shooting down a bunch of Mooks while literally jumping from car to car... or gunning down a bunch of people mid-free-fall after being blasted out of a jet.
11** Let's see, you've just had your plane (not a jet) explode in midair, you're plummeting thousands of feet with assorted burning debris and goons falling with you, what is the best course of action? ... ... ... MIDAIR GUNFIGHT!!!!
12* NightmareFuel: Whenever Rubi enters Rage mode, her face is soaked with blood and she flashes the creepiest SlasherSmile.
13* ThatOneLevel: Every player probably has a different arena level that they hate with a fiery passion. The Icehouse in stage 8 is particularly nasty, being your first meeting with [[GoddamnedBats blockers]], plus a Leader on the field immediately.
14* TooBleakStoppedCaring: If you don't commit to Rubi just being a badass, you will ''really'' not like her as a character. [[WebAnimation/ZeroPunctuation Yahtzee]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V6iEh73ojCw/ elaborates on the problem here.]]
15* WhatCouldHaveBeen: A sequel was announced in 2010, but was quietly abandoned in 2011. No announcement thereof was made, but several press agencies noticed a few former employees listing the project on their CV as cancelled.
