* [[Guns Akimbo]]: Rayne does virtually nothing ''but'' this in the first game, with the exception of some larger weapons. In the second game, the only guns she gets are dual wielded, but they function as the whole [[Standard FPS Guns|usual arsenal]]. In Betrayal, Rayne only uses a handgun (albeit a [[Hand Cannon|Magnum]]) and {{spoiler|a laser cannon}}.

* [[Guns Are Worthless]]: Despite the wide variety of firearms available in the first game, guns are only really effective against common [[Mooks]]. Some tougher enemies and bosses take very little (if any) damage from bullets, or are difficult to hit in the first place (especially Daemites). Compounding this problem is the fact that guns don't hold much ammo and can't be reloaded; Rayne [[Throw Away Guns|discards a weapon upon emptying the magazine]], and must pick up another to replace it. On top of all this, Rayne's blades and harpoon are generally more efficient weapons anyway, and it's entirely possible to play through most of the game without firing a shot.

** In Betrayal however, Rayne's Magnum is actually quite powerful, able to knock most mooks off their feet.

* [[Unexpected Gameplay Change]]: The first game is a fixed-camera, ''[[Max Payne (Video Game)|Max Payne]]'' / ''[[Dark Forces Saga (Video Game)|Jedi Outcast]]'' style third-person shooter which incorporates melee combat. The second game is a free-floating-camera, ''[[Final Fight (Video Game)|Final Fight]]''-style fighting game which incorporates platforming and auto-lock shooting. It's a moderate but significant shift. The third game is a 2D hybrid of [[Castlevania]] platforming and [[Devil May Cry]] combat. Compared to the first two, it's a REALLY significant shift.

* [[Why Am I Ticking]]: In ''Betrayal'', Rayne can either drain an enemy of blood for health or infect them with some sort of virus that turns them into walking acid bombs that she can detonate at will, which can cause chain reactions.
