* GameBreaker: Once you're able to recruit her, Noize's assist is ridiculously useful. Not only does it completely heal you and anyone else near you, it also has a relatively short cooldown time. You can essentially use her whenever you clear a room and cheese the rest of the game, all for a low cost of $25.

** This game includes [[PromotedToPlayable Marian]] and [[VideoGame/RiverCityRansomUnderground Provie]] as new playable characters. Marian wasn't much of a stretch, seeing how popular she was with fans in the previous game[[note]]Not to mention that she ''was'' previously playable in the ''Double Dragon'' UsefulNotes/NeoGeo fighting game.[[/note]], but Provie comes from a [[VideoGame/RiverCityRansomUnderground game]] that is only canon to ''VideoGame/RiverCityRansom'', the Western localization of ''Downtown Nekketsu Monogatari'', with very little in the way of references to its ''Kunio-Kun'' origins. Of course, it makes sense in hindsight as one of the directors of ''Girls'', Creator/BannonRudis, was also the main director of ''Underground''. It also made it less surprising when the other originals of the latter game appeared, as Chris has a minor supporting role, Paul and Wes are hireable assist characters, and Glen and Mike are shopkeepers.

** In regards to [[Creator/WayForwardTechnologies WayForward]] characters, Jake, the protagonist of ''VideoGame/Lit2009'', is a shopkeeper in the Technos atrium. Given that his source game was both obscure and delisted from a digital storefront a few years prior, it's a surprising inclusion.

* {{Padding}}: The typical fetch quests and busy work aside, several times the game introduces small twists that seem to serve no purpose but to pad out its play time. After learning that River City High [[spoiler: is being supplied with food that will brainwash its students into serving the yakuza]], you must trek entirely on foot to the other side of the map because the buses are temporarily disabled. Then, right before the final level, you're given a timed mission to revisit every district in the game to rescue your "friends", which the game repeatedly lampshades are largely irrelevant [=NPCs=] the heroines either don't care about or, in one case, have quite literally never met before.
