In Soldier of Fortune, you'd fail the mission if you killed too many civilian bystanders, usually three, if I remember correctly. Except not in the levels set in the Middle East. You could kill as many civilians as you wanted in those levels as they weren't classed as "friendlies" by the game.

They later patched it but it was definitely in there for a while.

Definitely the original The Getaway. Apart from the level set in a house that required you to navigate security beams (I can't see how anyone completed this without a guide) I thought it was obviously flawed but great fun. Properly funny like very few games were at that point aside from GTA Vice City, a technical marvel in many areas (London itself, WIDESCREEN - what a novelty on PS2 that was at the time - no HUD, regenerating health, no loading times going in and out of a building) and a much more engaging script and storyline than in the 2nd game.

If you had a competent developer make this type of game today it'd be A) bloody expensive but B) bloody brilliant.

Dead or Alive is a superb series.

I didn’t like the Getaway but I would be up for a similar game using modern tech.

The only bad thing about it is that, like almost all games made by a Japanese dev, they seem to have no concept of what a PC is, it's like they heard about it from their friend, who heard about it from his brother, and as a result you have some absolutely bizarre oversights in game design. For example, in Senran Kagura, even if you don't have a controller plugged in all the prompts in the tutorials use an Xbox controller, so what should be "press left mouse button" shows up as "press A" or whatever.

Still not as bad as Resident Evil 4 on PC, which didn't even have mouse support! I had to play the entire strawberry floating game with WASD being used to move, and the arrow keys for aiming. Even so it's probably one of my favourite games of all time, but how the strawberry float do you not have mouse support for a game on PC?!
