WET (Xbox 360)

I spotted Wet pretty late on in its preview/review cycle for the magazines, one of those titles that snuck up on me. However as soon as I read the reviews I was interested to say the least, so off I went and picked it up within the first week of release. And at the time of writing this review, I've finished the story mode. So its a short game, made up of 12 chapters with some Quick Time Event driven cut scenes between some of them to build up the story. To be honest I finshed the game on "Cake Walk" (the games easy mode) and I haven't found all the hidden collectables, thats the next challenge, up the difficulty and find find ...  Read the complete review

WET (XBOX360) ============== Wet is an action packed third person shooter through the eyes of a female samurai wielding badass, named Rubi. Its grind house cinema graphics set it distinctively apart from other shooters of this genre. It has more gun toting slow motion gun play since the matrix and bullet-time is back!

For each successive enemy you kill, and the more variety you include in the kills (headshots, sword slashes, wallruns, floor slides), the more points you get and consequently the more stuff you can get as the game goes on.

Wet : a kill Bill styley 3rd Person shooter which integrates guns, swords and some funky, over the top gymnastic moves. Playing as the ballsy Rubi Malone you go off on a 'mission' running into lots of bad guys who just want to kick your ass! overall this game is quite nice. The style of the game is a lot like the film Kill Bill (if you have seen this film you will understand as soon as you play this) all gritty and all quite grungy looking. the controls are simple enough and once you get the hang of Rubi sliding about on her knees like a mad woman it's fine. One of the things that lets this game down is the length of game play. Playing it on the hardest ...  Read the complete review
