No edit summary
Line 17:
* [[Action Girl]]: Pretty much ''every'' woman in this game can be one. Even female pedestrians, since they can defend themselves if you try to hurt them.
* [[Adam Smith Hates Your Guts]]: It's more like "Adam Smith Hates Mobsters"; if you try to buy anything while wearing the mafia outfit, stores won't sell to you.
* [[Affably Evil]]: Quincy. If you meet him earlier in the game, when he's acting like a normal doctor worried about your health, you will be surprised about having to fight with him later.
* [[And Your Reward Is Clothes]]: What you receive for interrogating the right characters in the game.
* [[Affably Evil]]: Quincy. If you meet him earlier in the game, when he's acting like a normal doctor worried about your health, you will be surprised about having to fight with him later.
* [[Anticlimax Boss]]: It's more like an Anti Climax Level. When you learn that Zanetti is in a luxury hotel, you expect this to be THE level of the game and that you're going to storm the place while murdering everyone in the way. Turns out that the place has little security and that you don't need too much effort to get into Zanetti's room.
** [[It's Easy, So It Sucks|Also every boss of the game is one, because the game is so easy.]]
* [[No-Holds-Barred Beatdown]]: You can do that if you wish to.
* [[Awesome but Impractical]]: The option of loading all of your recruited characters in the versus mode is ruined because of the game's constant loading and scrappy fighting physics.
* [[Bad Guys Do the Dirty Work]]: {{spoiler|Chester}} pulls one.
Line 38 ⟶ 37:
* [[Damsel in Distress]]: {{spoiler|Gina}} and {{spoiler|Lola}} are both locked up in desolated places and left for dead. It is up to you to find them.
* [[Deadly Doctor]]: Quincy
* [[Death Is a Slap on The Wrist]]: Averted real hard; if you die. it's over.
* [[Defeat Equals Friendship]]: You got to beat nearly everyone in a fight {{spoiler|including three of your former partners}} so they can join you.
* [[Death Is a Slap on The Wrist]]: Averted real hard; if you die. it's over.
* [[Disc One Final Boss]]: A irritating example. Since the game has a [[Guide Dang It]] nature, if you don't know what you're doing, you will run into them and get another ending. And there's no way to know you did it wrong until you see a guide.
* [[Executive Suite Fight]]: Subverted. The fight against Zanetti takes place in his luxury hotel room...{{spoiler|but he is not the final boss}}.
* [[The Dragon]]: Eugene is this to Zanetti. You may think your player character was this, but he/she was more a member of a [[Quirky Miniboss Squad]].
* [[Escort Mission]]: A very common type of sidequest.
* [[Executive Suite Fight]]: Subverted. The fight against Zanetti takes place in his luxury hotel room...{{spoiler|but he is not the final boss}}.
* [[False-Flag Operation]]: One mission requires you to dress in a specific gang's colors to mix with them, cause a riot, and run away when the cops arrive so they can be arrested.
* [[Final Boss]]: {{spoiler|Chester again}} in the best ending where your character decides that {{spoiler|he won't be dealing with him anymore and decides to kill him}}.
Line 66 ⟶ 65:
* [[The Man Behind the Man]]: {{spoiler|Eugene}} is behind Zanetti's schemes and allows him to rule the city.
* [[Magic Plastic Surgery]]: Played straight for customization and gameplay purposes.
* [[Meaningful Name]]: Las Sombras. It is always night there, and an NPC even complains about it.
* [[Nightmare Fuel]]: Las Sombras is a very unsettling town. Also, there's the violent fights and the beatdown option.
* [[The Mole]]: {{spoiler|Tracy}} of all people.
* [[Nightmare Fuel]]: Las Sombras is a very unsettling town. Also, there's the violent fights and the beatdown option.
* [[No-Holds-Barred Beatdown]]: You can do that if you wish to.
* [[Professional Killer]]: Ignacy
* [[Rated "M" for Money]]: The only thing that the game lacks is the explicit use of drugs and sex.
Line 78:
** 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]].
* [[Vice City]]: Again, Las Sombras.
* [[Video Game Cruelty Potential]]: There's a few examples, but the "Beatdown" option seems like the best starting point.
* [[Virtual Paper Doll]]: You can customize pretty much everything about your character, from tattoos to hair.
* [[Wretched Hive]]: Las Sombras is so vile that it's nearly impossible to meet someone that's not a criminal.
* [[Vice City]]: Again, Las Sombras.
* [[Xanatos Gambit]]: {{spoiler|Chester! He orchestrates all the mafia/cartel drug robbery predicting the outcome.}}
* [[X Meets Y]]: ''Final Fight Street Wise'' meets ''River City Ransom'', which meets ''Tekken'' and ''Virtua Fighter'', and et cetera...
* [[Wretched Hive]]: Las Sombras is so vile that it's nearly impossible to meet someone that's not a criminal.
* [[You Killed My Father]]: In this case, it's "You killed my sister." Norma invokes this while trying to avenge her sister, Fatima. If you take some paths in the game, Norma will chase you around to try again until {{spoiler|she gives up and joins you}}.
