Line 2: [[File:ps2_michigan_report_from_hell_287.jpg\|frame]] ''Michigan: Report from Hell'' is a [[Survival Horror]] video game developed by Grasshopper Manufacture for the ~~Playstation2~~Playstation 2. The player controls a cameraman of the Zaka TV news crew who are investigating the strange goings on in Chicago after it's covered by a mysterious fog along with sound engineer Jean-Philippe Brisco and one of six reporters. The game is played from the first person perspective as the cameraman, rather than take actions himself, [[Point and Click Game\|highlights]] objects for the reporter to interact with, or enemies for her to shoot. If the reporter is killed, the game will skip to the next level where you meet with a new reporter. Line 11: * [[Anyone Can Die]]: And you can let them. * [[Asshole Victim]]: If you let her be, Anne. * [[Black Dude Dies First]]: {{spoiler\|Inverted,: Brisco's the last person you see die in the game. Technically ''second'' to last if you count the [[Player Character.]]}}. * [[Captain Obvious]]: Brisco. ''Just Brisco''. * [[Contrived Coincidence]]/[[Dangerously Genre Savvy]]: Some people note that the characters ''just seem so aware of their surroundings'', to the point that, in a part where Justine, a woman you're trying to save, is shackled to a billiard table, everyone immediately comes to the conclusion that they have to put in ''missing billiard balls'' to help release Justine. Their course of action was ''correct''. * [[Downer Ending]]: {{spoiler\|No matter what ending you get, the protagonist dies via assassination (the only difference is his attitude toward the whole thing), leaving the entire thing unexplained and information undisclosed.}}. * {{spoiler\|[[Driven to Suicide]]: [[Zombie Infectee\|Brisco]]}}. * [[Escort Mission]]: The whole game;: the player character usually can't die himself, but must protect his reporter. * [[Giant Spider]]: A glowing, Australian sized one will jump on, bite, and kill the second reporter unless you knock her out of the way. If spotted early enough, it will run off. * [[Heroic Sacrifice]]: {{spoiler\|Nina [[Eat Me\|allows a monster to eat her]] so she can [[Kill It Through Its Stomach\|blow it up from inside]], and the cameraman and Brisco can escape.}}. * [[Idiot Ball]]: The characters are prone to stupid moments. ''Very'' prone. * [[Immune to Bullets]]: Any monster bigger than a leech. * [[Karma Meter]]: The player can earn "Immoral Points" for actions such as shoving people, allowing the reporter to die or filming strangers in mortal peril rather than [[Quick Time Event\|putting down the camera]] to help them. * [[Kill'Em All]]: ''No one'' survives this experience. * [[Male Gaze]]: Similar to ''[[Dead Rising]]'', you can earn Erotic Points from recording [[Panty Shot\|areas of interest]]. * [[Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane]]: The game implies it's genetic tampering causing the monsters, but you see several signs of the supernatural, as well. * [[Multiple Endings]]: {{spoiler\|[[Downer Ending\|But the protagonist dies in all of them, when he's about to reveal what happened]].}}▼ * [[Mockumentary]]: A playable variant. * [[Monster Misogyny]]: The monsters will only attack the female reporters, ignoring the cameraman and sound technician. ** When you get the male reporter Mark, though, the monsters go for him too. Maybe they just really, really hate reporters? ▲* [[Multiple Endings]]: {{spoiler\|[[Downer Ending\|But the protagonist dies in all of them, when he's about to reveal what happened]].}}. * [[No Export for You]]: The game was never licensed for a US release. * [[Shoot the Shaggy Dog]] * [[Timed Mission]]: The player has until his [[Justified Trope\|film runs out]] to complete each level, but since they are usually given just over 30 minutes per level, it's rarely an issue. * [[Too Dumb to Live]]: Certain characters go by B-Movie logic, so... * [[The Un Reveal]]: {{spoiler\|The cameraman is shot before he can disclose who's behind everything,}}. * [[Vagina Dentata]]: A prominent monster type appears to be this. * [[The Virus]] * [[Vocal Evolution]]: Inverted,: the voice acting gets ''worse'' over time. * [[You Fail Biology Forever]] * [[You Fail Geography Forever]]: There is a level that takes place in a camping lodge on the mountains somewhere in Chicago. While it ''is'' a big city, the nearest mountain range to Chicago is a few hundred miles away, in the east parts of Ohio and Kentucky (and even there, it's a stretch). If it's taking place in Chicago, it's '''not''' in Michigan. * "Michigan" refers to Lake Michigan. For some reason. {{reflist}} [[Category:Horror Video Games]] [[Category:PlayStation 2]] [[Category:Survival Horror]] [[Category:Suda 51]] [[Category:Michigan: Report From Hell]]
