'''Basic Trope''': The nature and function of a VideoGame changes unexpectedly.

* '''Exaggerated''':
** Every level has a drastic gameplay change, each system so deep it could make its own game, to the point where the game is 50% tutorial.
** The game shifts straight from a BeatEmUp to a NintendoHard [[PlatformGame Platformer]] for a while.
* '''Downplayed''':
** The mission starts out normal, but Dread was transformed into a fox and must fight as one.
** The game features a stealth section with the same movement and a crudely pasted "Take-down" mechanic for only one mission as the plot demands.
* '''Justified''': Going in as a pizza man is the best way for Dread to actually access the Darklord in question.
* '''Inverted''': ???
* '''Subverted''': The mission opens up with a cutscene of Dread delivering pizza to the secretary and stutters as if gameplay starts, but it actually doesn't.
* '''Double Subverted''': ... as the cutscene goes on, Dread decides to purchase from a vending machine and gameplay starts there.
* '''Parodied''': ???
* '''Zig Zagged''': The game features normal combat along with a stealth system, and switches between the two as the plot demands. Some missions can be don both stealthily and by fighting your way through.
* '''Averted''': The gameplay does not alternate from the normal formula at all.
* '''Enforced''': The publishers did not want too much budget going toward cut scenes that didn't explain plot or work for a trailer, so told the developers to compromise. They turned it into a playable section.
* '''Lampshaded''': "Why am I serving pizza to my enemy's attendant?"
* '''Invoked''': The developers wanted to change the pace of the game and give players a laugh, so decided to change the pizza delivery joke cutscene into an actual playable part.
* '''Exploited''': One of the Darklords is aware of the FourthWall, so decides to attack Dread during this part of the game since he cannot fight back.
* '''Defied''': Dread asks his brother's girlfriend Penne to deliver pizza while he sneaks in to assassinate the Darklord
