The game continues the story of hero Wesley Gibson, picking up the action where the film leaves off and creating an entirely new chapter exploring both Wesley's journey to becoming an unmatched überassassin and the epic fiction of "The Fraternity." Featuring intense third-person action, the Wanted video game will take combat to the next level with iconic moves -- such as "Curving Bullets" and "Assassin Time" -- drawn directly from the film, as well as an innovative, multi-layered cover mechanic.… Expand

    Wanted: Weapons of Fate, surprisingly, is not only better than a typical movie-licensed game, it’s better than a typical action game.

    The search for the best angle to take a shot, the good controls and smooth gameplay combine into a fast-paced foray, which ends just as fast after only four hours. There should have been a multi-player mode, the father and son characters almost demand a co-operative mode. The game is cheaper than usual, but it's still too expensive for a game that short.

    Wanted: Weapons of Fate doesn’t suffer from the “Bad movie-license game” curse. It is not that bad. But it suffers from being too short and not having enough after you beat it to keep on playing.

    Wanted is a decent action game, a classical third person shooter that throws you in the world of Mark Millar graphic novel, unfortunately the game is a little bit short and actually tedious, despite its well devised cover system that let you run freely around objects.

    The combat is, despite flowing well, incredibly and utterly console. [June 2009, p.74]

    Wanted is way better than any other movie–to–game product, but it’s way too short to enjoy it for longer than a single afternoon. Minigames suck, brilliant controls and spectacular effects that rock. [Apr 2009]

    There’s a mixed bag of ideas present in Wanted: Weapons of Fate, but as a whole it feels terribly rushed.

    I played the PC Version of this game, runs fine however terrible control sensitivity makes the game unplayable.Before even playing the game II played the PC Version of this game, runs fine however terrible control sensitivity makes the game unplayable.Before even playing the game I wanted to test different resolutions on my PC to see what would look good but the mouse controls in the options screen are just as erratic as the game controls. Even if the controls were in order its still a terrible game and not worth paying for or wasting time playing.I actually chose this over world in conflict,this cost fifteen euro and world in conflict cost twenty including expansion but foolishly I made the wrong decision.In case you're wondering I'm not biased about the game as I really enjoyed the movie which was what prompted me to choose this title in the first place.… Expand

I checked the games website, but there is no support for it. Many people are also have the same problem. Apart from that it had a rubbish menu system. For the display options it only has two options, resolution and screen ratio. In general do not buy this game at all, it simply does not work!… Expand
