I'm trying to remember a game I used to play a few years ago, I think for the Xbox or PS2. It was a fighting game where the characters fought in order to get on a reality TV show. I think it also had a bit of a redneck theme? It's entirely possible that this game doesn't actually exist, but any help would be appreciated.

Shot in the dark, was it Backyard Wrestling?

Counter Strike: Condition Zero Deleted Scenes maybe?

Googling doesn't say anything about a drug lord named Jesus, but apparently there's a painting of Jesus and a drug lord named Moses?

The last level in Deleted Scenes takes place in a giant skyscraper.

I played some team-based military FPS years and years ago. I only played the single-player, the campaign was a series of objective-based missions, your usual stuff like hostage rescue, protecting a VIP. I remember the boss in the second level was a drug lord called Jesus, there was a really loving hard map set in a snowy military base, and the last map was a weirdly anticlimactic thing about rescuing a VIP in an underground subway station or something. I'm 99% sure it wasn't one of the well-known (or good) games like Rainbow 6 but I cannot for the life of me remember what it was called. Help!!!

Was it Soldier of Fortune 2: Double Helix? That one has a drug dealer's mansion, a snow level and, ~~a million tunnels~~ I'm pretty sure, a subway level in it.

PC, 90s or early 2000s, definitely 3d but that's about all I've got. It's really vague memories from articles I read years ago.

Edit: Not an MMO, singleplayer, multi may have been planned.

Top-down adventure game, where you're a ninja, on the ~~Amiga 500~~ Commodore 64. I don't remember much from the game, except that it was really, really dark and blue, and it had this super distinct drawing of a blue ninja at the beginning. I recall it being obtuse and hard, possibly with a main antagonist showing up from time to time?

Was the Ninja in the Last Ninja games blue? Can't remember and I never did play the Amiga 500 versions.

Oh, sorry, it wasn't the Amiga, but Commodore 64!

E:

And it wasn't Last Ninja, sadly.

EE:

You know what, it probably was. The gameplay doesn't strike me as what I'm remembering, but the intro seems to ring a bell.

The gameplay, as I remember it, was more like what you'd see in an RPG Maker title, visually. Also, I'm convinced that rain was involved.

Convoy or Death Skid Marks maybe?

I would've guessed Convoy as well.

Did it involve getting disrupted when you were injured? i'd been looking for the Apple // equivalent for a while, and found it a few years ago to lose it again - I'll have another hunt.

Edit: Moebius: The Orb of Celestial Harmony is the one I was thinking of, which had a C64 port.

It doesn't ring a bell, but I love the digitized guy at the start!

Found it. It was Saboteur, and not a top-down game at all! Thanks, people.

Nope, that has actual 3d graphics, not prerendered sprites.

You couldn't actually control your ships, but it sounds a bit like Fragile Allegiance.

Drakan: Order of the Flame perhaps? Although I don�t know how linear it was.

Most levels were these sprawling caverns or fields, with a single exit somewhere. So pretty linear.
