=== This game provides examples of: ===
* [[All Up to You]]: The two pilots even [[Lampshade Hanging|complain about it]] during the cutscenes.
* [[Applied Phlebotinum]]: Red mercury.
Line 9:
* [[Full Motion Video]]: The cutscenes are mostly live-action.
* [[Have a Nice Death]]: Several times over. In one case, the villain laughs so hard at your failure that he chokes to death.
* [[ItsIt's a Wonderful Failure]]: Getting a [[Game Over]] will show a [[Scrolling Text]] (different depending on which level you lost your last life in) emphasizing how much you cocked up.
* [[Macross Missile Massacre]]: The swarmers, which are curiously less powerful than the single lock-on missiles.
* [[Smart Bomb]]: The rare Doomsday pickup.
Line 19:
The second ''Warhawk'' game was a [[Continuity Reboot]] of the series on the [[Play Station 3]], also titled simply ''[[Warhawk]]''.
 
The game is reimagined as a [[Third -Person Shooter]] with heavy use of vehicles. Single player gameplay was abandoned entirely in favor of fine-tuning online multiplayer for up to 32 players.
 
Like ''[[Team Fortress 2 (Video Game)|Team Fortress 2]]'', the game eschews realism in favor of [[Rule of Fun]] and [[Rule of Cool]].
Line 49:
* [[Stuff Blowing Up]]: Every vehicle explodes in a massive cloud of smoke and debris when its health runs out, even if it was from hitting it with a wrench. Vehicles will also explode if simply left unattended for a minute so that they can respawn at a team's base.
* [[Super Speed]] - players can use the boosters just fine without being airborne and will still use the running animation as long as they're on the ground.
* [[Universal DriversDriver's License]]: Any player can operate a Tank, 4x4, Warhawk, Dropship, APC and Jetpack, and have no difficulty using captured enemy vehicles.
