** In this game, [[NotUsingTheZWord G is against calling the enemies "zombies"]]. Years later, a video of unused dialogue from ''The House of the Dead III'' would surface. [[https://youtu.be/0u8IiFCf4YE?si=UDrltawKXJ1seLts&t=795 Some of G's unused lines]] have him doing the opposite of that!

Added DiffLines:

* ThatOneAchievement: Challenge Accepted. The requirements for the achievement are pretty straightforward: complete all challenges in the director's cut levels. Most of these challenges aren't particularly difficult (save all civilians, finish on one life, earn a high accuracy score, etc.) save for one: the high score challenge, where a player has to beat the high score assigned to each level. It doesn't sound too bad...until you realize that in order to earn enough points to get those high scores, you have to pull off a PERFECT run and keep your combo going throughout the entire level. Making so much as a single mistake will cost you the challenge, forcing you to start all over from the beginning.

Added DiffLines:

* ScrappyMechanic: The scoring mechanic in ''Director's Cut'', unlike other games in the series, penalized missed shots by breaking score multiplier combos, including shooting zombies that already killed (and the hit detection is wonky), and trying to shoot money, health, and collectibles.

* SequelDifficultyDrop: In comparison to previous games, where the difficulty was higher in order to eat your quarters in the arcades. In this game, it's largely due to the ability to upgrade and switch weapons.

* HilariousInHindsight: Play the game normally till you reach "Carny" and Washington will say something to Varla about him and [[RunningGag Agent Gwendolyn]] going to check out the place. In the Extended Cut, after clearing "Classic Mode" (you can only use the default gun and nothing else), you get [[spoiler:the Gwendolyn gun;]] Isaac's [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything favorite guns]].
* ItsShortSoItSucks: Despite being longer than any of the main games and having largely-similar gameplay, it still gets this from professional reviewers, who are likely not aware of how long the game is relative to its arcade counterparts.

* NauseaFuel: From his filthy, ill-fitted suit, to his creepy face, voice and posture, to his horrific sexual proclivities, there's nothing about Warden Darling that ''isn't'' flat-out disgusting.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter: Both Varla and Candi the MsFanservice Heroines are cases of this [[spoiler: as both of them got killed off in which the latter got killed off fairly early]] in the [=PS3=] port ([[spoiler:Varla's a borderline case, as she is implied to still be alive, but reduced to a BrainInAJar]]). Heck the game pretty {{Lampshaded}} the former become a case of this in the ending (though fans are not entirely sure if that makes things regarding Varla's role okay or not). Granted the [=PS3=] and PC ports did try to subvert this as Varla and Candi became playable in a couple of stages but then this ended up as a DoubleSubversion [[spoiler: as Candi got quickly KilledOffForReal after the [=PS3=]-exclusive stages were done in which Varla returned to her original role right afterwards.]]

Zero Context Examples. Deleting because Awesome Music is Sugar Wiki.


* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: The whole soundtrack, to be honest. Some stand-out ones include:
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jMud8Fvld9o Jasper and Brutus's Boss theme]] (they share one).
** Don't forget [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KbKFpEI7IIY&feature=related Mother]]!

Up To Eleven is a defunct trope


** The riot shield-equipped mutants to some extent. It's taken UpToEleven in the Extended Cut exclusive Hardcore Mode where you're required to kill only with headshots. It's not that bad, until you face these guys - not only do you need to get rid of their shield, you still need to take out their helmets. And you've also got a swarm of other zombies getting pot shots on you.
