YMMV / WET

• Anti-Climax Boss: Tarantula's boss battle is done solely through Action Commands while the game's main antagonist doesn't even get the dignity of a true battle, with his death being only a cutscene.
• Awesome Music: More like a Crowning Soundtrack Of Awesome, really. This was actually what they were going for. They succeeded.
  Brian LeBarton (the composer): I wanted music that would scare the shit out of you, make you feel like you're in the game. It had to put you on edge and freak your brain out. Face-melting, musical debauchery.
  • While in an elevator once, Rubi does a kickass harmonica solo.
• Complete Monster: Rupert Pelham is the leader of Tiger Claw, a drug organization which sells the brutal drug Dragon Breath. Forming Tiger Claw to distribute his drugs internationally, Rupert uses his organization’s power and fortune to control half of Hong Kong, allowing corrupt cops and criminals to roam the streets. Wanting less competition, he plans to kill William and Trevor Ackers, leaders of the Ackers syndicate. Posing as William Ackers, he hires Rubi Malone to bring him Trevor. After Rubi brings Trevor to him, he orders Tarantula to decapitate him and has Ze Kollektor stab Rubi, leaving her for dead. Finding out that Rubi is after him, he has his goons kidnap Ming to fatally torture him for her location. Making Zhi knock Rubi out for him, Rupert has his men electrocute her for information. Breaking into William’s mansion, he has Tarantula kill his bodyguards before trying to kill him. Interrupted by Rubi’s arrival, Rupert orders Tarantula to kill her, not caring when she’s killed, immediately attempting to gun Rubi down himself.
• Goddamned Bats: Blockers. They have to be dispatched via manually aimed headshot, or explosive, or melee, because they'll stand there and block your offhand weapon if you autotarget them. They also hit pretty hard if they get to melee.
• Les Yay: Kafka seems to have a bit of a thing for Rubi. The misson you play for her is called "Falling for Kafka".
  • Well, the fact that she was feeling up Rubi might a suggest she might have a bit more than a crush on Rubi. This being Kafka who knows what she really wants to do to Rubi.
• Moment of Awesome:
  • Pretty much the entire game counts, but there are some especially awesome levels which involve Rubi shooting down a bunch of Mooks while literally jumping from car to car... or gunning down a bunch of people mid-free-fall after being blasted out of a jet.
  • Let's see, you've just had your plane (not a jet) explode in midair, you're plummeting thousands of feet with assorted burning debris and goons falling with you, what is the best course of action? ... ... ... MIDAIR GUNFIGHT!!!!
• Nightmare Fuel: Whenever Rubi enters Rage mode, her face is soaked with blood and she flashes the creepiest Slasher Smile.
• That One Level: Every player probably has a different arena level that they hate with a fiery passion. The Icehouse in stage 8 is particularly nasty, being your first meeting with blockers, plus a Leader on the field immediately.
• Too Bleak, Stopped Caring: If you don't commit to Rubi just being a badass, you will really not like her as a character. Yahtzee elaborates on the problem here.
• What Could Have Been: A sequel was announced in 2010, but was quietly abandoned in 2011. No announcement thereof was made, but several press agencies noticed a few former employees listing the project on their CV as cancelled.
