1* BileFascination: The game is only known due to its mostly negative critical reception, mostly getting scores below 3 out of 10, and especially after being shitted on by WebVideo/Civvie11.
2* EthnicScrappy: Many of the characters are one-note racial stereotypes who only exist to make jokes about their nationality and/or race and nothing else.
3* SpecialEffectsFailure: The game looks absolutely cheap and outdated, even by budget game standards. Not only that much more visually impressive and technically advanced games like ''VideoGame/Doom3'' and ''VideoGame/HalfLife2'' came out two-years prior, but the first ''VideoGame/GearsOfWar'' would come out two months before this game came out. The game sound-design is also very piss-poor, with poor audio mixing, crappy and wimpy sound effects, and heaving usage of stock-sounding music.
4* TheScrappy: Anthony. Not only is he a complete self-centered {{Jerkass}} who only cares about himself, but he is also an obnoxious, poorly-written pastiche of Creator/DaveChappelle with a grating, high-pitched voice who frequently spouts-out an barrage of unfunny one-liners.
5* UncertainAudience: One of the biggest criticisms of the game. The game is far too violent and inappropriate for younger gamers but far too stupid and juvenile for anyone over 17.
6* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: The protagonist is an {{expy}} of Creator/DaveChappelle, other supporting characters are parodies of Creator/ParisHilton and UsefulNotes/GeorgeWBush, the Wanted Meter is based on the color-coded (and oft-mocked) Homeland Security Advisory System instituted [[UsefulNotes/TheWarOnTerror after 9/11]] and quietly replaced during the [[UsefulNotes/BarackObama Obama]] administration, and much of the humor is based on the fears and political controversies of the [[TurnOfTheMillennium mid-2000s]], including terrorism, Latin American immigration, and same-sex marriage.
