It takes a special kind of badass to wield a dart gun, three firearms, and a Ginzu-sharp katana…while plummeting through the air - parachute-less - from a destroyed jetliner. Wildly implausible? Yes.

+ Moves and controls like butter, despite slo-mo–happy combat, + Lots of cool, Pulp Fiction–esque style; great soundtrack

? Is that sword a carry-on or a check-in

Wet met une nouvelle héroïne à l'honneur. Ruby Malone porte tous les clichés : belle et sexy, redoutable, vulgaire, mystérieuse et sans attaches. Avec une héroïne de cette acabit, Bethesda Softworks pensait sans doute séduire un public masculin ou des joueuses en mal de domination.

La bande son; Quelques bonnes idées; Le style graphique

Imprécisions du gameplay; Redondance de l'action; Système de visé déplorable; Doublage

There was a time when the bullet-time feature boosted the fun factor video games. That wasn't just a freak accident either. We have to remember that a Matrix game did not exist long after the release of the movie and only Max Payne managed to offer an engaging slow-mo shooting mode.

The presentation; the music and the occasionally engaging combat

I'm getting flashbacks of all kinds here..; names like Max Payne, Tomb Raider and The Matrix leap to mind, technically inconsistent, boring level design, boring story, boring characters

WET. If this game was ranked solely on the basis of the amount of people you kill, I have no doubt it would receive a perfect score. Sadly, as is custom for reviews, that is not the case...which really doesn't leave much else for me to talk about.

Nice overall theme that was stuck with throughout the game

Graphics are really outdated; not very depth; aiming redicule too tiny

The video game industry has been cranking out products for over thirty years. During this time, thousands and thousands of new ideas and concepts have

Bad ass stunts; Tone of absurdity; Fitting music

One-note gameplay; Forgettable characters

When you're done with the story, you can replay each level to try to beat a target point score or take on the obstacle-course challenges, though the latter tends to expose some of the game's weaker elements.

Great gunplay mechanics; Brisk; lively pace; Invigorating original soundtrack; Full of exciting action movie moments that you create

Environmental inconsistency can hinder your acrobatics; Some choppy visuals; Annoying character quips

It's not too often these days that a game gets released that you can truly call ‘art'. The word gets thrown around a lot for games that are very fun, or well-made, but I'm talking about a real application of the word. Something that non-gamers can appreciate, as well as gamers.

Excellent retro aesthetic; Gorgeous sound; Excellent run ‘n gun gameplay

Slightly repetitive; Challenge mode is BRUTAL

This raucous bloodbath is rough around the edges, but exciting acrobatic combat and a great soundtrack make it very entertaining.

When Bethesda first announced WET , gamers didn't seem to much care. It should have been a pretty big thing - guys who published Fallout 3 delivering a stylish action game that tries to take the best of John Woo and Quentin Tarantino flicks and mash them together as best as they could?

Just when you thought the third-person action/shooter genre was running thin on style, Wet has come along and shaken things up for the better. While the game may have quietly snuck up on many gamers' radar, it's poised to become a game to remember in 2009.
