"Ultor's logo. The Matsuko army. A radio ad is for a show based on the game. A radio call in a secret lab for Dr. Parker. The Saints make a movie which is basically Red Faction."
 * The sniper rifle is named after a character in The Usual Suspects.
 * Tetsuo and Kaneda are the names of motorcycles.
 * The game is basically a sequel to Red Faction. Here's a couple of the Shout Outs to the game.

"One will sing "Whoooa Daaanger Zoooooone!" when she takes off. Another will go "Jester's dead!" when biling out. And another will go "Woooo talk to me Goose!" when jumping in."
 * The Saints are something of a homage to the New Orleans Saints.
