''Beatdown: Fists of Vengeance'' is a [[Beat'Em Up]] by Capcom. It hit the Xbox and the [[Play Station 2]] in the 2005, and had a very interesting premise. The game is a [[Wide Open Sandbox]], a [[Fighting Game]], and a Beat 'Em Up that relies heavily on [[RPG Elements]]. The player is able to do some [[Level Grinding]] with his chosen character, highly customize him/her by changing everything about him with cosmetic surgeries, buying
The plot is about five mob soldiers from a [[Wretched Hive]] called Las Sombras who got set up by their own organization. In the ensuing chaos, they get split up and try to build up a network of informants and underlings to get revenge.
Line 9:
The Five Player Characters are:
* '''"Raven"''', an Irish Brutish Thug who plays the [[Blood Knight]] and [[Jerkass]] tropes [[Up to Eleven]]. He has an Irish accent and fights in a funny stance that prioritizes punches. He is the "Standard" choice.
* '''"Aaron"''', a Eurasian with a penchant for gothic fashion,
* '''"Jason G"''', the resident [[Scary Black Man]] doubling as a [[Big Guy]] for the game. He is very fond of orphans, since he is one too, and is the most kind-hearted character of the entire game. He fights using sheer raw power and [[Mighty Glacier|is slow as a slug but can endure more punishment]]. He is the "Power" choice.
* '''"Gina"''', a blond Action Girl/Chick whose beautiful looks can be tarnished by the Gorn features of the game. She has a [[Dark and Troubled Past]] that the game will never tell you about and unfinished business with Zanetti's [[The Dragon|right-hand man]], Eugene. She fights using fast blows and is a [[Fragile Speedster]]. The "Speed" choice for players. (If you customize her with the right parts, she can end looking like The Bride from ''[[Kill Bill]]''.)
Line 28:
* [[Cardboard Prison]]: Got arrested? No problem! You can break out of jail! Or just pay up...
* [[The Cartel]]: Controlled by the Fatima Saints, they get wiped out in the intro sequence.
* [[Cat Fight]]: Averted; no gender
* [[The Chessmaster]]: {{spoiler|Chester}}
* [[Cluster F-Bomb]]
Line 47:
* [[Five-Man Band]]:
** [[The Hero]]: Raven. He appears on the game's cover, [[Colour-Coded for Your Convenience|wears red]], and his plot has everything to do with the "revenge" theme of the game. He also appears to lead the team in the opening sequence.
** [[The Lancer]]: Aaron. He's
** [[The Big Guy]]: Jason G
** [[The Smart Guy]]: Lola
** [[The Chick]]: Gina, so much that her storyline is focused more in her affair with Eugene than anything else.
* Gamebreaker: Subverted. The ATM scheme could easily make you rich, but since the game loads for everything, you will barely use it.
* [[Gotta Catch Them All]]: If you wish to achieve [[Hundred-Percent Completion]], you need to unlock everyone in the blacklist. This requires several playtroughs, because taking
* [[Guide Dang It]]: Without a guide, you're pretty much screwed. See Lost Forever.
* [[Heel Face Turn]]: It's another point of the game. You will notice that everyone who is in the blacklist can join you. If you play with the right cards, you will reach the end of the game and see that every soldier from Zanetti mob has joined your cause.
Line 75:
* [[Sliding Scale of Anti-Heroes]]: Types III, IV and V.
* [[Tattoed Crook]]: Aaron. There's also some recruitable characters, and your player character if you wish to put some on him/her.
* [[Timed Mission]]: Chapter Three is an entire Timed Chapter if you follow the main mission, since Ignacy is playing a game with you and your friends in the blacklist,
** Also the Gregorio Factory Mission that doubles as [[That One Level]]. If you don't know where to go after you plant the bomb, you blow up along with the factory and get a game over.
* [[Title Drop]]: The "Beatdown" option that is displayed as a [[Gory Discretion Shot]].
