Rubi is a lot of things. Highly skilled. Beautiful. Deadly. A real problem-solver. Only now, she's got a problem she didn't want. It seems the rich man who hired her to find his son wasn't all that he appeared. A quick fix turned into something worse. Much worse. Now Rubi's on the run, and the man who hired her might do well to do the same, because when she finds him it's not going to be pretty. The relentless search takes you around the world in highly-stylized, cinematic third-person action. Think swords, guns, double-crosses, a killer soundtrack, and a body count that won't stop until Rubi says it does.

Entertaining
The Good---------
<br />
<br />-The Gameplay runs really smooth. Shouldn't take you long at all to get the controls down. If you fully upgrade Rubi you'll have a lot more fun and tons more to do.
<br />
<br />-Rage mode is exciting. The whole screen turns red and Rubi goes on a killing rampage. Things speed up, the music kicks in, and you go on a bloodlust. You can rake up a 60 chain kill combo pretty easy.
<br />
<br />-The auto-aim and slow-mo feature is pretty nice. This game wouldn't have worked with out it. Once you have the acrobatics down playing areana mode is pretty fun. Which is where tons and tons of gunners/ guys with bats go after you and they continue to re-spawn. It's a nice time to accumulate "style" points.
<br />
<br />-The game runs on rails. Normally I hate games that run on rails. But again it something that works for this game. Because it always keeps in you in the action and you always know where you are going.
<br /><br />The Bad-------------
<br />
<br />-Take the "Film affect" off... Unless you want a headache. It was cool and different for the first 10 minutes. Then an hour later it gave me a headache.
<br />
<br />-Still feel like they rushed it. I've discovered two bugs in the game. One of which leads to a crash. So just be ready to restart the system.
<br />
<br />-You probably won't be urged to play this game over and over again. So play it on it's hardest difficulty then push it to the side. It's fun, but it's only fun once or twice through.
<br />
<br />-Graphics are weak. After the "Film affect" is off. You'll be asking yourself "Is this Dreamcast?"
<br />
<br />All in All-------------
<br />
<br />-It will keep you entertained. This game has taken a long time to be realesed. Yes I do feel like they could have done more with it, but I do feel like they accomplished the tone and idea they were aiming for. Which is over-the-top senseless action, explosions, and gunplay. Glad I have Gamefly though. I don't think I would have bought it. I thought it was going to blow, but it's honestly a good rent.

70's Kung Fu movie, turned into a game.
First thing to say is: Extremely original. Great action game...but it gets repetitive. <br /><br />Gameplay: Action/Shooting. Aerial shooting in slow motion, gets old.<br /><br />Graphics: Average graphics, nothing to brag about. But cool noise filter look for an old looking style<br /><br />Sound: Great! classic music, and voice acting is cheesy like a 70's kung fu movie. <br /><br />Replay Value: Finish that game once, and get half way through your second time and stop.<br /><br />Bottom line, good for a rental.

Rent don't Buy
I rented this game not expecting to much from it. But what I got from it was a very satisfying 3rd person shooter experience<br /><br />It's nowhere near perfect, but it does do some things right. I really liked the slo-mo combat and combo system, especially later in the game after you have upgraded Rubi's abilities. <br /><br />The story mode was a little shorter than i would have liked. I ran through it on normal in about 5-6 hours. It took a little longer on hard, only because I was going for achievements. The boss fights were a big disappointment to me. Instead of actually fighting them, they are reduced to quick time events.<br /><br />The graphics were decent, but nothing ground breaking. I did like the grindhouse look and feel of the game.<br /><br />The soundtrack was great. It really fit into the whole look and feel of the game.<br /><br />The story was all over the place. It had characters showing up with no explanation as to who they were. Other characters disappearing without any resolution to who they were, or where they went. When i replayed it I just skipped through all the cutscenes.<br /><br />As for extra content, it has some concept art and sketches. As well as character bios. You can also unlock the boneyard challenges and points count mode once you complete the story mode.<br /><br />In closing, Wet offers a very entertaining stylish shooting experience with a lackluster and short story mode. It is worth a rental, but not a purchase.

Old time favorite
I must have played this game, on every difficulty setting, and got every achievement, many many times over. I STILL have this as one of my all time favorites. It is up there with Fable/ Fable II/ and deadrising. Just one of those games you can play over and over and still love it

Very Enjoyable for such an Underrated Game
I had very little expectations with Wet. The music in the demo annoyed me and the reviews were tepid at best. But I am very happy with my rental of a game that annoyed me only 2x throughout my experience.
<br />
<br />Wet has enjoyable gameplay and its Kill-bill-esque story is a fun change from being a space marine or a WWII soldier. I unconditionally recommend it as a Gamefly rental or used purchase.

Redundant
Redundant, exceptional, just a few words to describe this 3rd person action shooter. At first, it's pretty entertaining, but after a while it just gets repetitive. New moves seem like a waste of time and the damage done just isn't what it should be. Still this game is great for a rental, but not worth buying. No real replay value - some may have trouble just beating it the first time. In my opinion, it could've been better.

Wet ... Sodden ... Don't really care for either.
When first I glimpsed the promo for this game I thought 'I gotta have this!' So, I basically conducted a stake-out of my local Blockbuster hoping that one day the dolt who had consecutively rented this 'gem' would eventually have to leave the cold comfort of his mother's basement and trudge off to work.
<br />
<br />Amazingly ... the game was never returned. So I cried in mourning, but, soon found myself distracted with Call of Duty.
<br />
<br />After attaining enlightenment and finally subscribing to GameFly, this game was the first in my queue. I was a bit put-off by the previous reviews, but I wouldn’t be denied! Alas ... they were right.
<br />
<br />While this game seems to embody the concept of 'epic' in its approach to combat and acrobatics, general bad-assery ... I just did not love the gameplay. Granted I have a an embarrassing aim/hit ratio, still, it was a bit difficult to grasp the controls. Some of the cinematic transitions leave you with a skewered FP perspective which hinders you jumping from rooftops, walls, etc.
<br />
<br />Overall it was an 'ok' game. Wish I could offer something more profound but ... eh. 6 out of 10.

bitter sweet
the game was fairly good but i didn't think they did as much as they could with the sword play and i didn't like how you have to buy upgrades for everything even for basic skills such as shooting from the pipe or off of ledges. the game also had its moments such as the way your able to slide down ladders and shoot and it had plenty of action but at times i felt the game was harder then it had to be like the respawning doors u had to knock out before u could even get started killing so u are running around for at least 15 minuets getting shot at and ur life bar is down to below half and then if ur lucky u can just pull a win out of ur butt overall i beileve that u should defently not waste ur money on buying this title but it is alright to rent i got at least 6 hrs of intertanment for said game thank you for reading review please leave coment

Incredibly fun - the perfect rental
Its a shame most people overlooked A2M's Grindhouse-inspired Bullet Time shooter when it released, because it turns out to be one of the most fun games of the entire HD Generation.<br /><br />Now, granted, it's a little short. Its a tad repetitive. There's no multiplayer and you can argue that there are better shooters out there. So if any of that defines a "bad" game to you, than just move on. <br /><br />The key to why WET is fun to play - and why it easily sidesteps the problems Stranglehold had, namely, overusing ONE gameplay mechanic to the point of tedium very quickly (the Tequila Time thing) - are its three core mechanics. Rubi's Bullet Time/multi-shot thing, the arena-like combat, and the combos. Also, there's some (admittedly sort of clunky) platforming there to help break up the otherwise monotonous level designs. But even the platforming is sort of fun, so another win for A2M's little violent shooter!<br /><br />So in most Max Payne games, and rip offs like Dead to Rights and what have you, Bullet Time is sort of dictated by a refillable meter. Not so in WET, where you go into it every time you shoot whilst doing certain moves, such as dives. Also, she auto-targets one enemy with one of her pistols, freeing you up to hit whatever else with the other. This means you can go crazy with the stuff without having to worry about running out - it also encourages the use of Rubi's acrobatic moves, which leads me to...<br /><br />The arena combat. Like MadWorld, places in this game are designed more like Tony Hawk skate parks than bland rooms. Encouraging you to get higher combos, explore the environment a bit and combo-link your flashiest moves together to kill people in ever more interesting ways. Really, its the combos that keep you coming back, as you always feel like - had you noticed that place to wall run earlier, or that pole to swing by - you could've done better with your kill combo.<br /><br />Its simple, dumb entertainment, but man does it entertain. Not worth a buy for some, but a PERFECT rental.

Fun... for a little while
The game started out with an easy enough tutorial and plot but quickly became redundant, then boring. It gives you the 'sandbox' feel to the game but the more you play it, the more you are pulled into a linear plot and can only achieve your objectives the way the game wants you to.
