--'''Seanbaby''', [[http://gamevideos.1up.com/video/id/23887 Broken Pixels #24: Metal Wolf Chaos]]

Michael Wilson, veteran of the Arizona Conflict and [[OurPresidentsAreDifferent 47th President of the United States]] has been deposed in a [[TheEvilArmy military coup]] by his [[EvilChancellor running mate]], RICHAAAAAAARD! Hawk. Now, he must take up the guise of Metal Wolf and take back America city by city, armed only with his HumongousMecha and the power of [[HotBlooded BURNING]] [[PatrioticFervor AMERICAN FREEDOM]].

[[WidgetSeries This game could only have been made in Japan.]]

MetalWolfChaos is an original Xbox game made by From Software, [[NoExportForYou unfortunately never released in America]]. The game is a HumongousMecha title focused around the highly American pursuit of [[StuffBlowingUp blowing stuff up]], with a plot and dialog that would be the epitome of HotBlooded American PatrioticFervor ([[StealthParody or the most over-the-top satire of it ever made]]) were it not coming from a different country altogether. Weaponry includes machine guns, rocket launchers, and a [[AbnormalAmmo shark]] gun - [[RuleOfCool Yes, a shark gun]] - while the plot takes you to [[TheWildWest shootouts in the southwest]], [[HollywoodCalifornia bomb threats in Beverly Hills]], [[BigApplesauce battles against giant robots in Manhattan]], redecorating the White House with ''missiles'', a [[ClimaxBoss showdown with Richard]] in [[VivaLasVegas Vegas]], and ''space'', assisted along the way by a [[RedshirtArmy resistance force]] skilled only in blocking tank cannons with their helicopters and the President's [[AxCrazy slightly psychotic]] secretary, Jodie Crawford.

'''Troper General's Warning:''' Prolonged exposure to this article or its tropes may cause you to develop the delusion that MetalWolfChaos is not a real game. The Troper General's Office recommends treatment through proportional use of [[http://lparchive.org/LetsPlay/Metal%20Wolf%20Chaos/ videos of the game in action]].

'''This game provides (hilarious) examples of:'''

*AbnormalAmmo
*AuthorityEqualsAsskicking
*BeyondTheImpossible: Just...[[HolyShitQuotient everything]]. For God's sake, at one point Michael [[spoiler: destroys an orbiting space station and then ''rides a piece of debris back down to Earth like a surfboard'']]
*BunnyEarsLawyer: Jodie
*BrokenPedestal: Twice, no less.
*CatchPhrase: No less than ''five'' - "Believe in your own justice," for the game as a whole, "Because, yes! The pen is ''still'' mightier than the sword!" for Peter [=MacDonald=], "I, Richard Hawk," for, well, Richard Hawk, "Because I am the President of the United States!" for Michael and "The password is ______" for the Government Policy Promotion Department. No, really.
** [[TengenToppaGurrenLagann Believe in your own justice, who believes in you!]]
*CardCarryingVillain: We never hear any of Richard's motivations beyond some incomprehensible propaganda near the beginning. He just hates freedom for some reason.
*ChestBlaster: Richard Hawk gets one as his answer to Michael's MacrossMissileMassacre.
*CrazyAwesome: Is an explanation really needed?
*CrossesTheLineTwice: As if Richard's atrocities in the ZeroPercentApprovalRating entry weren't enough, he enacts a law that calls for the immediate public execution (by guillotine) of any Metal Wolf sympathizers who don't confess by a previously set timeline. Along with their family members within four separations. And their old classmates. AND their friends and coworkers.
** The whole game ''is'' this. Foreign game has the US President saving the US by killing lots of people? Offensive. US President saving the US by staging a one-man war on his Vice President in a mecha suit while blowing lots of shit up and spitting out cheesy one-liners in the most hot-blooded fashion ever? Awesomesauce.
*CrowningMusicOfAwesome: "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=00XmoqISm9o&feature=related Metal Fighter]]". {{One Woman Wail}}ing [[OminousLatinChanting Ominous Japanese Chanting]] over an EpicRiff? Hell yes.
*CurseCutShort: Michael's commentary on Richard's SpiderTank
*DeflectorShields: Equipped on the giant spider-bot in New York.
*{{Eagleland}}: This game is ''drowning'' in it.
** And it shows: 1up has labeled this as the Number 1 Most Insanely Patriotic Game.
*EverythingBreaks: And unlocking [[RewardingVandalism a couple of secret weapons]] demands that you [[RandomPowerRanking S-Rank]] the amount of property damage you do throughout the course of the game.
*TheEvilArmy: Though they are always referred to as the "coup de'tat forces", pretty much the entire United States Military seems to be in on the coup.
*EvilChancellor: Richard, prior to his coup.
*EvilLaugh: Richard lets one loose almost every time he and Michael run into each other.
*FictionalCounterpart: DNN
*FoeYay: Richard and Michael's relationship is very... [[http://tinyurl.com/4v9wx8 charged]] to say the least. Richard even points this out during one battle. Later that same battle, he sounds like he confirms this with his line "I'll...hug you to death!" However, his delivery of this line might suggest that he's just running out of [[OneLiner effective taunts]] [[IncomingHam to begin the fight with]], especially because he delivers this line late in the game. But then again, that theory gets thrown out of the window later in that same fight...
*ForTheEvulz: Richard pretty much does all his evil crap just to show us he's evil.
*GoodHairEvilHair
*GratuitousEnglish: While most of the English is quite good, the song titles on the soundtrack are just strange. "The President Spirit"? "Moduration City"? "Assign Monk"? "Dept Blue"? [[SoYeah Yeah...]]
*HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler: [=Peter MacDonald=]]]
*HeroicSociopath: Jodie seems to enjoy watching her boss wreak havoc across the country a little ''too'' much.
*HolyShitQuotient: Rivaling TengenToppaGurrenLagann.
*HotBlooded
*IGotBetter: Characters regularly survive helicopter explosions, hand waving it by saying "we have thorough knowledge of how to escape", or even just "I have somehow managed to escape!".
**Note that the latter is probably a mistranslation. The Japanese phrase usually translated as "somehow" doesn't necessarily imply a lack of knowledge of the manner, but only a lack of intuitive understanding of the manner, and thus is the most common translation of "I managed to..."
*IncomingHam: Every single time Richard shows up.
*IntrepidReporter: Peter [=MacDonald=], an antagonist releasing propaganda for Richard.
*LargeHam: Michael and Richard.
*LighterAndSofter: Considerably, compared to practically every ''ArmoredCore'' title barring Formula Front. (And if we're counting From Software's collaborative works, a couple notches softer than ''[=~Another Century's Episode~=]'' too.)
*LimitBreak: Obviously complete with HotBlooded Shouting and MoreDakka. LOTS MORE DAKKA.
*MacrossMissileMassacre: Great for crowd clearing.
*MadeOfExplodium
*MeaningfulName: Richard Hawk and film star Money-Money Gold. No, seriously.
*MiniMecha: Metal Wolf and other mobile armors are only double the size of human infantry.
*MirrorBoss: Richard Hawk, in the penultimate level.
* MirroredConfrontationShot
*MoralDissonance: Who knows who many perfectly innocent Americans, not to mention soldiers just doing their jobs, Michael blows up in his fight for freedom? More importantly, [[RuleOfCool who cares]]? [[StuffBlowingUp Go blow more of it up]]!
**And don't worry about killing innocents. Only the really evil people die. [[spoiler:Barring Richard himself, presumably.]]
*MoreDakka: No one can EVER have enuff dakka, but between this and all his MacrossMissileMassacre goodness, Metal Wolf sure does make a mighty effort towards having almost enuff.
*{{Narm}}: Dripping with it, on account of Richard's various atrocities are there [[ForTheEvulz just to let us know he's evil]], rather than to [[BlackAndGrayMorality prove some sort of point about needless conflict, as they would in]] ''ArmoredCore''.
* NarmCharm: The voice acting and writing as a whole.
*NoExportForYou: Why. Just... ''why''.
** [[TheWorldIsNotReady The American world is not ready]] for such a light and soft game by From Software.
** This game sounds so awesome, I'd have trouble choosing between this and Virtual On: Oratorio Tangram.
*NoodleIncident: While it's hinted at that Michael's presidency, Richard's evilness, and nearly every involved party's past is connected to a conflict called the Arizona Conflict or the Arizona Insurrection, we are never shown or told about what exactly happened there. All we are told (as an aside, no less) is that Richard won a Congressional Medal of Honor during that conflict.
*OneLiner: Too many to count. Too ludicrous to replicate here.
*OurPresidentsAreDifferent: Michael is President Action distilled to his raw form and equipped with a HumongousMecha, while Richard is a straight-up PresidentEvil.
*PatrioticFervor: Only because it's a Japanese video game, it's more like HotBlooded translated into the world of politics.
*PsychoSupporter: While Jodie doesn't really ''do'' anything outside her support role, her AxCrazy tendencies reach a new high when shooting down and capturing all of the game's EasterEgg [=UFOs=] nets you her alien-themed rendition of "Ten Little Indians." Which begs the question: [[{{Squick}} How did Jodie know the aliens were boys?]]
*RedshirtArmy
*RefugeInAudacity: ''And how!''
**It's so over the top that it's the more ''sublime'' moments that really jump out at you.
*RocketPunch: "YEEEEAH! Suck. On my... Missile Punch!"
*RuleOfCool: Oh. ''My''. '''Fucking'''. '''GOD'''.
*SayMyName: '''"RICHAAARDDDD!!!"''' Also: '''MICHAELLLLL!!!"'''
*[[SeeYouInHell See You In Heaven]]
*SkySurfing
*SpiritualSuccessor: It's basically ArmoredCore with more '''BURNING AMERICAN JUSTICE!'''
*SpiderTank
*SoBadItsGood: This game ''embodies'' this.
*StealthParody'''(?)'''
*SuperDrowningSkills: A real pain in the ass when dealing with a battleship off the coast of Miami requires you to take aim from [[MadeOfExplodium perfectly destructible gunboats]] parked just outside the shallow water Metal Wolf can safely navigate.
*SurprisinglyGoodEnglish: While the writing may be horrific Engrish, the actual voice actors are native English speakers.
*TheyFightCrime: He's the [[AuthorityEqualsAsskicking President of the Great United States of America]]. She's his secretary with [[AxCrazy an appetite for random destruction]].
*ThisIsSPARTA: ...actually, this overlaps a whole lot with the [[CatchPhrase catch phrases]], which are delivered at the top of some characters' lungs at points at some point or another if repeated.
**"HOW DO YOU LIKE ME NOW?"
*** Which was actually a [[strike: sparta]] famous phrase for [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toby_Keith 6 years]] before MetalWolfChaos was released as a video game.
*VillainWithGoodPublicity: Richard blames Metal Wolf for every atrocity he commits, calling it ''[[strike:more evil]]'' ''[[GoshDangItToHeck meaner]]'' ''than Satan''.
*WaveMotionGun: The Alcatraz Cannon, an ''anti-terrorism'' weapon. As the narrator on the Let's Play video above comments on it:
-->"I just ''love'' the idea of building a massive particle cannon to fight terrorism. I can just picture some poor sap with a dirty bomb in a shopping mall, blown to smithereens by giant laser artillery. Wouldn't be out of place in ''this'' game."
*WeaponizedLandmark: Building a giant electromagnetic cannon inside Alcatraz, 'nuff said.
*ZeroPercentApprovalRating: In his brief reign as President, Richard has re-established slave labor, flooded the city of Chicago with poison gas, and terrorized New York with ''a giant mechanical spider''.
