Evil Is Sexy TRS; this has become an objective, in-universe trope.

* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotForKids: Just because it's a Marvel video game based on a colorful comic book character doesn't mean it's for the little ones! It's all about bloody deaths and cursing, not unlike the movies.
* WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs: Just because the game has a point where Deadpool sees Cable as a talking taco and has a segment when he's on a carnival ride shooting at targets with a cannon that shoots beach balls in a segment that's supposed to be about released souls doesn't mean it's based on a drug trip.

* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotDidactic: The late Creator/TheCynicalBrit argued in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0UjeZjmAfOU this video]] that the game is a parody of [[RatedMForManly macho]], {{testosterone poison|ing}}ed, [[StayInTheKitchen chauvinistic]] meathead protagonists like VideoGame/DukeNukem and other [[NinetiesAntihero edgy anti-heroes from the 90s]], or a {{deconstruction}} of overblown shooter franchises like ''VideoGame/CallOfDuty''. Deadpool is... really not that serious.

* HilariousInHindsight: At one point in the game, Deadpool's two voices are transferred to Rogue by way of kissing. A few years later, [[spoiler:they kissed in the finale of ''ComicBook/UncannyAvengers'', minus the voices in Deadpool's head]].

Added DiffLines:

* BigLippedAlligatorMoment:
** Deadpool's final moments with Death are suddenly in FilmNoir style, unlike the rest of the game.
** There's a scene where Deadpool runs off without the player, and the player has to follow him around the corner with just the camera.
%% ** Or that I [[PrecisionFStrike cuss out]] my own [[Creator/NolanNorth voice actor]]. Or that party that was possibly all just in my head. Dammit, High Moon!
%% ** And then there's Taco!Cable.
* CriticalDissonance: The critics were not impressed with the unoriginal gameplay mechanics, but the game was much better received by Deadpool fans for its writing by ''Deadpool'' (volume 2) writer Daniel Way.
* EndingFatigue: Even for the biggest fans of Deadpool killing bad guys all day, it gets tiresome when ThatOneBoss Mr. Sinister [[spoiler:throws mook after mook and boss after boss and clone after clone at him]].
-->'''Deadpool''': Whew! That was a whole lot of omigod here come more of them.\\
\\
'''Deadpool''': What, did Sinister get these guys in bulk?
* EnjoyTheStorySkipTheGame: The actual ''gameplay'' part of the game is pretty lacking and nothing special, but most players enjoy spending several hours watching Deadpool do whatever the hell he wants while quipping.
%% * EvilIsSexy: Vertigo and Arclight.
%% * GoddamnBats: Those Gambit clones were a real pain in my ass.
* HilariousInHindsight: At one point in the game, Deadpool's two voices are transferred to Rogue by way of kissing. A few years later, [[spoiler:they kissed in the finale of ''ComicBook/UncannyAvengers'', minus the voices in Deadpool's head]].
* ItsEasySoItSucks: The game involves fighting the same sets of enemies from start to finish and it's a bit too generous with health ammo pick-ups, even on the higher difficulty settings. With every other enemy dropping them, you easily recover health quickly even in huge crowds, and can be as trigger happy as you like with any of the guns without worry about running out of ammo.
* MoralEventHorizon: To players, Sinister crosses this with his plot to eradicate the world. To Deadpool, it's when Sinister steals his contract.
* NauseaFuel: If you make him do it, Deadpool will take a dump in his own toilet. He'll also cut and try to climb his own intestines, which is as painful as it is gross to look at.
* SoOkayItsAverage: While players love the humor, the gameplay is regarded as nothing special since it's mostly fighting the same enemies with the same charging-into-melee tactic every time, except for the DifficultySpike at the end. Also, it doesn't help that it's [[ItsShortSoItSucks really short]].
* ThatOneAchievement: So you wanna "Be Like Joe" and achieve game completion? You'll have to chain 300 hits without some asshole poking you and ruining the combo.
* ThatOneBoss: In the fight at the end of the game, Sinister throws an [[EliteArmy army of the generic enemies,]] about a half dozen of each of [[SuperpoweredMooks the stronger enemies]], [[spoiler:[[BossRush all three of the previous bosses]], and then ends it by sending out waves of clones of himself]]-- meaning that instead of fighting one FinalBoss, Deadpool fights a [[WolfPackBoss dozen]] final bosses.
* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter: The X-Men are knocked out in the plane crash as soon as they arrive on Genosha, their role in the game more or less an excuse to get Deadpool involved in the main story, a role that could have been filled by Cable. Any opportunities for Deadpool to bounce off of them, or drag them into the game's absurdity are almost completely bypassed, save for a brief segment where you control Rogue after absorbing Deadpool's powers.
* VindicatedByHistory: Many people straight-up called this a ''bad'' game upon release. After the release of the first ''{{Film/Deadpool|2016}}'' film and the next-gen console re-release, more people warmed up to it.
* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotDidactic: The late Creator/TheCynicalBrit argued in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0UjeZjmAfOU this video]] that the game is a parody of [[RatedMForManly macho]], {{testosterone poison|ing}}ed, [[StayInTheKitchen chauvinistic]] meathead protagonists like VideoGame/DukeNukem and other [[NinetiesAntihero edgy anti-heroes from the 90s]], or a {{deconstruction}} of overblown shooter franchises like ''VideoGame/CallOfDuty''.
