The game is essentially a {{Pastiche}} of the [[TheEighties 80s]] action film, with persistently over-the-top action, a near-constant stream of [[OneLiner One Liners]] and [[ClusterFBomb swearing]], a villain with [[NGOSuperpower improbable resources]], and of course, a whole hell of a lot of StuffBlowingUp. Gameplay is very forgiving and fun, with simplistic controls, [[BottomlessMagazines unlimited machine gun ammo and regenerating rockets]], [[MadeOfIron generous player health]] and even a NitroBoost.

*{{Badass}}: [[WorldOfBadass Pretty much everybody]], starting with Max and Blister but also including on-foot operatives Hector and Pearce, as well as the Groundhog infantry team and the other wolf squad pilots.
*BlandNameProduct: The helicopters are all real world models, like the Apache, Kasatka, Blackhawk and Hind, but are known by fake names. It gets odd because several helicopters are properly named during in-game dialogue.
*BossFight: Several, including armored anti-air tanks and intense duels against enemy helicopters, which play out like an OldSchoolDogfight.
*BottomlessMagazines: Your machine guns never run out of ammo or even [[{{Overheating}} overheat.]] Your rockets are on a recharging meter.
*ClusterFBomb: Max and Blister drop about as many F-bombs as they do real ones!
*HellishCopter: Max gets shot down several times over the course of the campaign. Twice, you have to steer it as it spirals out of control towards a specific area, and the first time that happens, an UnexpectedGameplayChange occurs where you are able to use the wreck's guns and even ''rockets'' to defend yourself while waiting for backup.
*HoistByHisOwnPetard: It is possible to blow your own stupid self up with the PlayerGuidedMissile. [[SchmuckBait Doing so actually nets you]] [[CosmeticAward an achivement.]]
*HomingProjectile: Each helicopter can use homing missiles as well as dumbfire ones.
*[[spoiler: KilledOffForReal: Max's old gunner, Zara. Not only that, she [[DiedInYourArmsTonight Died In His Arms Tonight.]]]]

*[[spoiler: NotQuiteDead: Max thought Hector was dead. He thought wrong. [[FaceHeelTurn Very, very wrong.]]]]
*SpecialAttack: Each helicopter has one big attack that has to recharge fully between uses. Notable ones include a PlayerGuidedMissile, [[KillItWithFire napalm missile,]] and a plain old MacrossMissileMassacre.
