   Quentin Tarantino movie in a game. Brilliant! Gratuitous and copious amounts of blood and violence, intriguing game play, and a decent story line make this game worth a play.… Expand

   Game absolutely blows. Controls are terrible and the novelty of the game wears of in about 30 minutes and becomes very monotonous. While playing expect to die from no fault of your own many times through the game. Also expect an annoying burning movie reel effect every time you die. Game doesn't allow you to skip a lot of the cut scenes to make the game seem longer. I expected better from Bethesda, makers of Fallout 3, the greatest game ever.… Expand

   Over the years, Bullet-time shooters have become a mini genre of their own. On top of the Max Payne series, we've seen The Matrix Games, Total overdose, The True Crime series, Stranglehold. All pretty simple but still fun. Now joining this mini genre, comes WET. The first thing you will hear about this game is that it’s an “over the top acrobatic shooterâ€�. This oversells the game by a light-year. The so called acrobatics consists entirely of swinging on the odd pole between bigger gaps. It’s Prince Of Persia for 3 year olds (or Wii owners). Next comes the shooting, which is the worst thing in the game. (not what you want in a shooting game) The action in WET demands nothing more than simply holding the right trigger on your controller, moving the target over the 20 to 30 enemies until each one dies whilst spamming the jump button and listening to an unchanging, unreloading BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! Etc. Okay this might sound like the aforementioned games, and despite that fact they are similar, they are all prettier, slightly more engaging and nowhere near as obnoxious. The only time the action changes is with surprise, surprise, ‘Quick-time events’. Yes whole levels that play out like an interactive DVD. Press this button not to die… NOW! The Graphics in this game, range from pedestrian to butt-ugly. The environments lack any creativity and variety, each shoot-out happens in a grey boxed in arena that attempts to look like a clichéd shooting game location, urban back alley, neon sign littered street, courtyard, mansion, you get the picture. The characters themselves are all wax skinned, dead-eyed, “under-polygonedâ€� puppets with not a single interesting thing to say. This brings me to the dialogue. The script reads like a 12 year old boy’s attempt to write a gangster thriller. No one can go five seconds without dropping the F word. They all come off less like criminal masterminds and more like foul-mouthed teenagers. Sadly not even the lovely Eliza Dushku walks away with dignity. The tough but sexy star of Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Dollhouse, and Wrong Turn is relegated to spouting the most obnoxious, juvenile garbage you could ever be asked to call dialogue. “Die motherfucker!â€� Ooh witty. Even her grunting during climbing, falling etc is just excruciating. When she opens a door, she shouts, “open the fuck upâ€�. I’m not joking. Finally, the music. Hard to describe really, it’s a kind of failing garage band rockabilly root-canal. With lyrics like, my baby’s lost her mind, and I’m insane, insane, insane, insane, insane, you’ll wonder if this soundtrack would be better used at Guantanamo Bay during interrogations. Have you ever had to play a hard level on a game so many times over, that you turn the volume down because the music/sound effects begins to grate on you? That feeling is about three quarters of WET. It kicks in the second one of those mind numbing puppet plugging sequences starts. And it’s the difference between boredom and just utter despair. This game is a very easy 5 hours long, but it’s like watching the 5 hour cut of the worst movie you’ve ever seen. Getting through it requires no brain power at all, but that’s it’s biggest problem. It’s completely unchallenging, it contains the worst voice acting and music I’ve heard in a long, long time and as a result it is totally un-enjoyable. I bought WET pre-owned for £5 and it so wasn’t worth it.… Expand
