History YMMV / SilentBomber

* MagnificentBastard: [[spoiler: Benoit Manderubrot is quite possibly one of the most sadistic examples. Fueled only by his desire to spread destruction, he plays both sides of the mission he's participating in, leaking information to the crew of the Dante space cruiser and using the ensuing conflict to effortlessly sneak aboard and slaughter the ship's entire crew, leaving him with little opposition as he turns the ship into his own personal bringer of chaos. Even after Jutah defeats him, he manages to get the last laugh by revealing to Jutah that he was the war commander who manipulated him into burning down the village of civilians that turned him into an emotionless killing machine in the first place. He dies happily knowing that Jutah, effectively his creation, will continue to live.]]

* FunnyAneurysmMoment: SB is quite possibly the first ever 3D "[[WebAnimation/ZeroPunctuation Spectacle-Action]]" game and it preceded ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry1'' by two years. The main thrust of the plot has the protagonist attempting to destroy "Dante". How prophetic.

* MoralEventHorizon: Jutah crosses it during the prologue, and is permanently emotionally dead as a result. [[spoiler: Complete with ''the screams of small children cut off by his explosions.'']] Damn. [[spoiler:It's revealed that it was really Benoit who crossed it as he was the one who intentionally sent Jutah the false intel in the first place]].

* CompleteMonster: [[PsychoPartyMember Benoit Manderubrot]] leaks information to the crew of the Dante space cruiser, allowing the crew to shoot down the team's ship. In the ensuing chaos, Benoit manages to sneak aboard the Dante and [[ChronicBackstabbingDisorder slaughter the entire crew]]. [[spoiler:Afterward, Benoit plans to use the Dante's lasers to [[EarthShatteringKaboom destroy planet Hornet]], before using the Dante to travel the universe and spread chaos everywhere, all [[ForTheEvulz for no discernible reason]]. After his defeat, Benoit reveals to [[PlayerCharacter Jutah Fate]] that he was Jutah's old war commander, and was the one who ordered him to burn down an entire village of innocent civilians]].

* SoBadItsGood: The plot and voice acting are at times incredibly hammy, but this just makes the experience as a whole even more like a fun late-eighties anime pastiche. Arguably it wouldn't be as fun without these elements.

* FridgeLogic: Plenty.
** [[spoiler: If Benoit was the voice that guided Jutah at Tarakhan, why did he sound completely different in the prologue?]].
* FunnyAneurysmMoment: SB is quite possibly the first ever 3D "[[WebAnimation/ZeroPunctuation Spectacle-Action]]" game and it preceded Franchise/DevilMayCry by two years. The main thrust of the plot has the protagonist attempting to destroy "Dante". How prophetic.

* JustForFun/XMeetsY:
** It's Franchise/DevilMayCry meets VideoGame/{{Bomberman}}!
** As noticed by reviewers at the time, Bomberman meets Soukyugurentai (mostly due to the lock-on cone mechanic).

* CompleteMonster: [[spoiler: Benoit Manderubrot. Callous, manipulative and sociopathic, Benoit ordered Jutah to slaughter innocent civilians while acting as his superior officer on Tarakhan. Then years later he betrays his penal squadron ''and'' the Dante's operators so he can murder the entire crew with biochemical monsters, hijack the whole ship and then use it to cruise around the cosmos, causing as much mayhem and carnage as possible. [[ForTheLulz For one reason alone]]. Of course he also attempts to coax Jutah into joining him, knowing that he would be susceptible given the fact that Benoit destroyed his personality. And when he is denied the chance to use the Dante's WaveMotionGun to destroy Hornet, he decides to crash the gargantuan vessel into the planet instead. Because he thinks it would look ''awesome''.]]

* NeedsMoreLove: Possibly the Playstation 1's most defining example. Given that it's development company still exists and is relatively successful due to their anime adaption games, the possibility of a remake or sequel are not beyond the realms of possibility.

* TitleConfusion: The game's title lead many to think that the game was some kind of Stealth Action Adventure rushed out to cash in on the popularity of VideoGame/MetalGearSolid, which had only been released seven months prior. Given how bad so many of these titles were due to the lackluster quality of their stealth game play most people steered clear of Silent Bomber. The title refers to Jutah and his stoic personality rather than his methods, [[NonindicativeName which are anything but.]]

* NarmCharm: The entire game. The fact that it takes itself so seriously yet is so hilariously overacted is a big part of it's appeal.
