History VideoGame / ViceProjectDoom

* {{Bowdlerise}}: In the Japanese version, the cutscene following Stage 6 shows the character Reese being shot in the head. The English version leaves out the actual bullet, but there's still an explosive sound that catches Hart's attention, implying an off-screen impact of bullet to skull. In terms of theme, this also applies to how Damian's MotiveRant leaves out [[spoiler: Melaney's original HumansAreMorons view and intention to [[TakeOverTheWorld put them under new management]].]]

* CloningBlues: [[spoiler: Hart is actually a clone of Damian/Melaney, and there's a ''second'' clone, still dormant, in the Gu-Matonn's facility, although Hart doesn't figure the situation out until Damian spells it out. Damian tells Hart that the cloning was done expressly so someone exactly like him could always be around to run [=BEDA=], although it's somewhat ambiguous if Damian is a clone or something similar of someone else. He's only clear that he is as much of a puppet, albeit a willing one, as Hart and his "brother" are destined to be.]]

* MeaningfulName: [=BEDA=], from a Russian word meaning "calamity", as in "[[TitleDrop doom]]". Given that the original given name of the BigBad, Melaney, is also Russian ("Forer" [[AsLongAsItSoundsForeign seems to be German, with little presence in Russia proper,]] and probably chosen for playing with FourIsDeath), it fits even more securely.

''Vice: Project Doom'' is an ActionGame developed by Aicom and published by Sammy that was released in 1991 for the UsefulNotes/NintendoEntertainmentSystem.

* LaserBlade: Hart's main weapon, aside from his limited-use gun and grenades. For whatever reason, this was changed to a laser ''[[WhipItGood whip]]'' in the English translation.

** Sophia's family name wasn't included in the English manual. It's [[ButNotTooForeign Koizumi.]]

* {{Cyborg}}: [[spoiler: Jeff Reese proves to be this after he's defeated, the back of his head turned into mechanism.]]

* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler:Hart succeeds in his mission of stopping [=BEDA=] from achieving their evil plans, but in the process, he ends up losing both his girlfriend Christy (whom he had been forced to kill because she was the [[BioArmor Gu-Matonn's]] host) and his best friend Reese ([[HeelFaceDoorSlam who was assassinated before he could consider joining back up with Hart]]). In addition to this, Hart's EvilDoppelganger, Damian Hawke, warns him during the latter's dying moment that this entire scenario is only a small part of a much bigger threat and [[TheStinger the final scene of the game after the credits roll]] shows that the clone of Damian--and essentially twin of Hart--from the Gu-Matonn's facility is waking up from his suspended animation stasis.]]

* MeaningfulName: [=BEDA=], from a Russian word meaning "calamity", as in "[[TitleDrop doom]]". Given that the original name of the BigBad, Melaney Forer, is a legitimate Russian name save for the lack of a patronymic, it fits even more securely.
