A highly polished gameplay foundation makes Vanquish a title well worth playing, even if it's over far too quickly, something that unfortunately cannot be said of its cliche laden story and incredibly annoying character dialogue.

Gears of War meets bullet hell in this manic game.

Fast paced, frantic combat; the boost mechanic is awesome; some ridiculously awesome cutscenes; great graphical presentation

Some unfair deaths; lack of enemy variety; the game is a bit short

is by no means a perfect game. It won't win Game of the Year, and it probably won't make a lasting impression in the roster of video games that have been released. It is, however, a very reasonably fun game that is worth playing until the end.

- Vanquish is to the videogame industry what Independence Day is the movie industry. A thrill ride from beginning to end that will have players wondering what's around that corner and how things simply couldn't get any worse.

Crazy fast and intense action all the way. Fighting massive robots and tanks. What's not to like.

In my opinion one of the games i most enjoyed in my life, this is a game for people who are willing to learn this game, if you think this is gonna be like aa COD game , you will have a bad time.

An exercise in apathy, neither solid nor liquid. Not exactly bad, but not very good either. Just a bit "meh," really.

This game is brilliant best action game this year, action is overwhelmingly high sometimes, intense story line and plot voice acting is abit cheesey you will here lines from films for example "come on you maggots you wanna live forever" from Starship Troopers 1.

When screenshots of Vanquish appeared, you didn't know whether it would be a fun and action-packed adventure or just another common game where you shoot everything in sight. However, it was hard not to anticipate it with ‘legendary games director' Shinji Mikami (Resident Evil, Ace Attorney) joining...

Fantastic gameplay; astounding graphics; exciting and fast-paced music; fair difficulty

Poor voice acting; a forgettable story; only about six hours long

Pure entertainment: that's Vanquish in a nutshell. This speedy and thrilling third-person cover-based shooter is all madness, overwhelming you with gigantic robots, flurries of gunfire, and explosions so powerful and colorful that you might think you feel the heat.

Sliding around and shifting into slow motion is a blast; A constant barrage of explosions; bullets; and robots; Fantastic boss fights heat up the action; Smooth controls ensure an always-fair challenge; Frequent set-piece environments add flair and variety

Corny dialogue and voice acting; Ends too soon
