* Max taking down dreaded underworld boogeymen like hitman Rico Muerte, mob enforcer Frank Niagara and Don Punchinello's infamous, psychotic assassins Pilate Providence, Joe "Deadpan" Salem and Vince Mugnaio, aka The Trio, people who have terrorized the East Coast for god knows how long. While for gameplay reasons they're only EliteMooks, in-universe they're among the most dangerous, bloodthirsty psychopaths to ever walk the Earth.

** Killing Jack Lupino takes it even further, as Lupino is AxCrazy and hopped up on Valkyr, giving him some of the highest hit-points in the game. When you finally take him down, in the following cutscene, Max unloads all his remaining bullets into Lupino's body to make sure he ''stays'' dead.

* Max drops the control tower on her chopper. The best part is the triumphant start of the theme song as Max goes out to the top of the building after everything is over.

Added DiffLines:

* [[https://youtu.be/0NQzizdf7kg The opening video]] made with the game's engine is still as badass and cinematic as ever, no matter how outdated the graphics are.
* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: The series has a very apropos soundtrack: from the first game's piano, viola, and guitar [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gRuReVCFOY0 main theme]] to the StormingTheCastle theme [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ppE4-Og9dI Mr. Big]].
* The whole game is full of make-your-own Crowning Moments of Awesome. Diving sideways with dual Ingrams blazing as you gun down mooks before springing to your feet and throwing yourself backwards underneath another mook's shotgun blast to headshot him is unscripted, completely controlled by you, and totally fucking awesome every time you do something like it.
* Vinnie Gognitti being able to outrun Max with a bullet in his gut, AND BE ABLE TO RIDE ON TOP OF A FUCKING TRAIN! "Fear gives men wings" indeed.
* Max taking down dreaded underworld boogeymen like hitman Rico Muerte, mob enforcer Frank Niagara and Don Punchinello's infamous, psychotic assassins Pilate Providence, Joe "Deadpan" Salem and Vince Mugnaio, aka The Trio, people who have terrorized the East Coast for god knows how long.

* The final confrontation between B.B. and Max:
-->'''B.B.:''' [[YouHaveNoChanceToSurvive You can't win this one, Max.]]\\
'''Max:''' No. But I can make damn sure none of you do, either.
* In grand scheme of things, Boris Dime only exists as an excuse to have Max shoot his way through a ship level, but he has a pretty cool introduction cutscene.
-->'''Boris Dime:''' (Approaches you in a DutchAngle) [[GiveMyRegardsInTheNextWorld Tell the devil that Dime sent you]].
* Max defying all the odds to give Nicole Horne, the one who orchestrated the murders of his wife and daughter, the fate she deserves.
