  • Summary: WET is a seamless integration of intense gunplay, death-defying acrobatics and exciting swordplay. The game tells the story of Rubi, an acrobatic gun-for-hire. When she agrees to help a wealthy man find and bring back his wayward son, all hell breaks loose and the tables are turned, as the man who hired her isn't who he appeared to be. Now Rubi's on the run, needing to find the man who left her for dead and leaving a massive body count in her wake. Innovative 3rd person shooter gameplay: With her trusty twin custom made Colt Pythons, Rubi gracefully engages in amazing, cinematic high-body count gunplay against diverse and challenging enemies. Along with her guns, Rubi has an arsenal of death-defying acrobatic moves. Her incredible agility allows her to climb on ledges, slide under obstacles, swing on poles and run along walls. Rubi's sword is an instrument for deadly close-quarter proximity attacks. Rubi will unleash a flurry of multi-staged stylized attack sequences. [Sierra Entertainment]… Expand

    WET has taken the third person shooter genre and turned it completely on its head – not for everyone, but I loved every last second of it. Tarantino would be proud.

    I am sure the “Grindhouse” graphics and audio will annoy some people to death, those brave enough to see the games beauty behind the rough graphic filters, rock-a-billy music and blood n’ guts gameplay will find much entertainment in this game. Certainly one of the few new gaming franchises that are a true must buy this summer. Rubi and WET totally rock.

    It's sad, then, that Wet never really comes together nearly as well as it could've.

    A great concept, but one whose execution screams for another year in development. [Issue#184, p.79]

    I am MAJORLY surprised to see that the critics liked this game more than the users! On my You Tube Christian gaming channel, Gaming 4 Jesus ( http://www.youtube.com/Gaming4Jesus ), I gave this game a 8.5. Being that Metacritic does not allow half scores, I think the game is worth a 9 on here. At the time, this game broke the mold as far as Quinton Tarantino-type wit, obnoxiousness, and rough charm. Plus, how could anyone NOT love Eliza Dushku's voice performance! It was a bit cliche, sure! But she pulled it all off BRILLIANTLY! By the way, I cordially invite anyone reading this to visit my channel (referral above). I hope you will sometime enjoy this game as much as I did!… Expand

    Not a great game. It contains huge flaws in the design that should hamstring it. However, the whole style and atmosphere carry it through and help to paper over the cracks. There were many times the air turned blue with the profanities I hurled at the screen in frustration. However, as soon as I finished I had to restart on a higher difficulty level and played it through again. Oh, and the soundtrack is the best I've heard since GTA.… Expand

    Third person shooter that does a stellar job mimicking 70's trash movies and featuring one of the coolest heroines ever. Armed with dual revolvers, a katana, and bullet time whenever she performs acrobatic moves, Rubi Malone shoots and slices thugs like none other. Too bad she only does it for about seven hours and suffers from countless sudden deaths due to failed jumps, slides, or quicktime events.… Expand

    Everything about this game is cool. It has a cool feel to it, the art style is awesome and screams Quinten Tarantino, the concept of dual targeting is AWESOME, and the demo was a lot of fun. The game, on the other hand, resembles when you bake a cake and take it out of the oven too soon. Sure it looks done, but it doesn't taste quite right, other than the frosting, and now I really want cake. At any rate, this game really and truly needed some QA. I swear those that playtested this game were either hyped up on experimental drugs, or they simply didn't actually playtest it. It is full of potential to be an awesome game. I love the dual targeting mechanic, and the swordfighting is fun. but it reeks of really shoddy level design and just bad choices. The only reason I gave it a 3 is because it has potential. Hopefully someone will eventually see it and build a spiritual successor. Until then, I'll stick to Prince of Persia.… Expand
