EOE: Eve of Extinction

A Beat'Em Up Video Game published in early 2002 on the PlayStation 2. The main gimmick was the ability to switch weapons mid-combo.

The story concerns a young man named Josh Calloway who's girlfriend Eliel is transformed into a type of weapon known as a "Legacy". As a result he turns on his former employers, the Wisdom Corperation, and goes after his former boss Agla in order to recover a chip which will reverse the process.

 * Bag of Spilling: Roughly 2/3 of the way through the game, there's a level where a boss steals your weapon chips and hands them out to his Elite Mooks.
 * Barehanded Blade Block:  performs one in a cutscene. It's the first sign she's not quite human.
 * Corrupt Corporate Executive: Agla is a textbook example.
 * The Dragon: Zera, played with in that
 * Energy Weapon: All Legacy weapons looked like this.
 * Equippable Ally: Eliel and every other Legacy weapon.
 * Good Old Fisticuffs: You had the option...
 * MacGuffin: The memory chip which will turn Eliel back.
 * Man Behind the Man:
 * Mega Manning: You collect each different weapon mode's chip by taking it from the boss who was carrying it.
 * Morph Weapon: The game's main attraction is the ability to switch Eliel's forms between several different weapons mid combo. Each one also had its own elemental powers and special ability.
 * Laser Sword/Flaming Sword: It could also shoot fire.
 * Simple Staff/Shock and Awe: The Rod. A blue bo-staff sort of thing, which also dealth lightning damage.
 * Machete Mayhem/Dual-Wielding/Making a Splash: A pair of Katars which could unleash a blast of water.

 * The Archer/Ray Gun/Light the Way: An energy bolt shooting crossbow with healing powers.
 * An Axe to Grind/Gravity Master: The Giant Axe.
 * BFS/Dishing Out Dirt: The Broad Sword.
 * Infinity+1 Sword/Game Breaker: The Twin Blades. A pair of swords which resemble the ones Elite Mooks wield. You only get to use them in a New Game+ though.
 * Omnicidal Maniac:
 * Orichalcum: Part of what makes up the Legacy weapons.
 * Powered by a Forsaken Child: All Legacy weapons need to have a human soul bound to them.
 * Press X to Not Die: The game has cutscenes like this. Failure normally just knocks off a bit of your health bar and forces you to try again.
