Encyclopedia
Trigger Man is a video game of the third-person shooter
genre released in 2004 by Point of View.
The main character of the story, who seems to have no actual name. He is Don
Coladangelo's personal "clean-up guy". He has no remorse for cold-blooded
murder as long as it serves his boss' desires. His reasons for blindly serving
the Don are never revealed, only that he has "some ties" to the mob boss.
Don Coladangelo
The man who sends your character on missions, all pertaining to bringing down
the Montagano Family. He's credited as being a very honorable man, thus
earning the respect of the city's underworld, and possibly the reasone the
Trigger Man follows him so faithfully.
Ralph Borrello
Not much is known other than he is Don Coladangelo's most trusted capo.
Don Montagano
A man who has all but retired from the mob scene, until his one and only son
and successor to the Montagano Family, was murdered. He blames this act on
the Coladangelo Family and has come out of his "retirement" to avenge his
son's death.
Johnny "No-Neck" Navarro
Don Montagano's underboss, a ruthless killer in his own right.
Harry Di Ciero
He controls Don Montagano's "air force". His helicopter is a threat to the
Coladangelo Family
Donna Bella Montagano
The granddaughter of Don Montagano and daughter to the late Don Antonio
Montagano Jr. Rumors abound of her involvement in her father's death, but
fear of the young woman prevents anyone from stepping forward with any
information. She was ready to take over the Montagaon Family until her
grandfather came out of "retirement" to exact his revenge on the Coladangelo
Family. Her anger towards Don Montagano's return to the mob scene goes
unnoticed for the time being, as she plots her own "revenge" on the
Coladangelo Family.
Carlo Perfetto
The seemingly neutral underboss of the Perfetto family.
Coladangelo's personal "clean-up guy". He has no remorse for cold-blooded
murder as long as it serves his boss' desires. His reasons for blindly serving
the Don are never revealed, only that he has "some ties" to the mob boss. I just
call him " The Trigger Man". The game opens with Don Coladangelo holding a meeting between him, his capo
Ralph Borrello, and the game's protagonist, The Trigger Man. He relays the
information that the Montagano family is moving against the Coladangelo's due
to the murder of Tony Montagano, Don Montagano's only son and successor to the
Montagano Family.
The Trigger Man proclaims his readiness to "deal with" the Montagano's any way
the Don sees fit. Don Coladangelo then asks his favorite assassin to convince
the Montagano's of their innocence in Tony's murder, and to persuade them to
call off the vendetta with an apology.
Ralph Borrello then informs Trigger Man of a diamond smuggling operation being
used to finance the Montagano's new casino, and that the diamonds are more
than likely being moved fast, as their funds have been drastically depleted,
and proclaiming war amongst mob families is anything but cheap.The Don seems
certain they're keeping the diamonds in a high-tech vault inside the casino,
and hires you to steal them, in order to cut out the Montagano's income, and
possibly ending the war before it starts.
It was noted for having many flaws, including the following:

- All guns make the same sound
- Only 8 levels
- Only seven weapons
- All enemies share the same model
- Very few controls, been reported that jump and crouch are the most advanced controls in the game.
- Bland artwork
- Bland missions
- Music stops and starts at specific times
- It takes ten shots to defeat someone with the handgun.
- Textures are only partially solid, opening up several glitched "worlds"
- Rather than voice acting, text boxes have been substituted.
- Gratuitous profanity and sexual content
- "Bodies" by Drowning Pool is not present in the game even though they promised it
- Terrible Graphics
