3.0 out of 5 stars
Very good game that has been getting a bad rep..., 18 Oct 2009
Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: WET (Xbox 360) (Video Game)
Wet is a game that puts you in the shoes of a hot chick named Ruby, and is a blend of gunplay, platform, and pure fun. The mix of playstyles works perfectly and hacking through tons of enemies is PURE FUN! The game shurely borrowed the mechanic of Devil May Cry, so if you liked that game then you will love this one! Its great to take out your stress with a few flying arms and legs and bloody corpses in the end of the day, and is a good game that was set back by a few problems (read on).
Ok, here we go, this is why Wet is a blast!:
The awesomeness! Slo-mo gunfights, flying arms after a stylish slash of a sword, secret monkeys (yeah no kidding) and overall amazing fun!
The score multiplier: Is good! It keeps you moving and although it can be hard to master combos in the first hour, later its a second nature sliding and jumping to look for your prey after you killed the first group of guys.
The graphics are quite good, nothing mind-blowing but good, except on cut-scenes where it zooms on the characters and you notice the imperfections. I encountered 3 graphical glitches in the whole playthrough, nothing serious, and were actually funny so no worries.
The lengh of the game, was actually longer than I expected, and that is a plus!
The artwork is very good, and the characters are as stylish as the game. Great art design overall.
Beautifull animation, very very good, but I was actually expecting that, and I was still impressed.
The story is o.k., nothing special.
It is time for the bad parts. If it weren't for these the game would deserve a 5! But unfortunately nothing is perfect and the game has its flaws.
First off is the level design, although well thought of, is extremely tight and doesn't allow much free movement, I mean, everything is packed in such a tight space that jumping around can be fustrating because there are so many obstacles.
Secondly, is something that really was a nuisance, is the cut scenes, you just cant skip most of them, so if you die (wich is fairly common on harder difficulties) you have to watch the friggin' thing all over again, and it gets saturating, seriously...
Last but not least, is the lack of moves the game offers, so you have just a few sword moves and not many acrobatics, wich makes the game quite repetetive at times, unfortunately.
There you go, IMO, I recommend it to anyone that likes mindless fun and killing, personally I loved the game!

Wet; a review for the full game, 22 Sep 2009
Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: WET (Xbox 360) (Video Game)
I have followed this game since the first teaser trailer was released almost a year ago and I have keep up to date with it untill the demo, at which point I pre-ordered it. it remained all this time simply one of the most awesome and coolest looking games, and the most stylish.
If faults can be found it would only be the graphics, this is no Gears of War. Don't get me wrong they are fine but not fantastic and the same could be said for the sound effects. they are acceptable but its clear they were not the main concern
But the gameplay is; anyone who has played Stranglehold and Max Payne would feel at home with the over the top gunplay and acobatic agility, almost every action combined with firing weapons slows time and enables true split targeting while moves that activate slow-mo can be chained gaining points that can be spent upgrading, in addition there is Area and Rage modes thoughout the game. In Area you must close spawn points while getting bombarded by enemies while in Rage mode, which is by far the most stylish and cool looking part of the game, all colours are replaced by reds, blacks and whites and Rubi (the girl on the cover) does massive damage and generaly kills anything in her way untill she gets a little less angry, both modes are occasionaly combined. The controls are very simple and after a small peroid of time any player will be able to take full advantage of the game and Rubi's abilitys.
The music deserves a little mention, its a fantastic collection of 70's inspired music that you can play back-to-back via the jukebox in the extras section
Wet is a fast, brutal and certainly recommended, the action is top knotch and has the best sountrack i've heard in a long while. The main character and the few supporting ones are easy to like and get on with while the rail sequences are quite simply better than most games manage (apart from Rez HD which IS a rail shooter and is in my option unbeatable) and I'm not talking about the car sequence in the Demo. Wet is fantastic and was well worth my time, and will be worth yours.
Thank you for reading

5.0 out of 5 stars
Here we go..., 8 Oct 2009
Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: WET (Xbox 360) (Video Game)
I'm sick and tired of people slagging this game down because of the graphics, lastability and comparing the main character to lara croft. The main character is female, get over it.
Normally after completing a game, I would trade it in, with 'Wet' I haven't, why? Because it is THAT much fun. Wall running, shooting, sword slashing, and even the car chasing sequences are brilliant. The 70's psychobilly style music is brilliant as well and suits the theme of the game, and also spoofs tarantino perfectly. This game obviously doesn't take itself seriously and that's the brilliance of it. Eliza Dushku voices 'Rubi' perfectly and the dialogue has some really funny one liners I almost wish this were a movie.
If you're looking to play games just to have fun and be entertained buy this now!
If you're one of those hardcore gaming geeks, you will be highly disappointed, stick to playing Halo 3 online.
