It's a premise that the game's developers saw fit to exploit in a third-person jaunt, broadly echoing the action of Kill Bill and going so far as to model its whole aesthetic on the grindhouse cinema of the 1970s.

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?

In the first scene of Wet, you slide down a long table in slow motion, smashing through towers of champagne glasses and a giant cake as you gun down thugs who are trying to kill you. Then you leap off the table to fly over a dragon-shaped ice sculpture as you pump bullets into even more goons.

Great gun-play 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

La bande son; Quelques bonnes idées; Le style graphique

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

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

Blood Opera acrobatics has become the unicorn of the third person action genre with no-one really able to find a way to present a cohesive and engaging way to package it in videogame form.

While the action is at times shallow and clunky, WET provides gamers with light popcorn entertainment that's an arguably short, but fun ride.

First of all it's worth mentioning that this is probably inspired by Stranglehold. This is a review on the demo version of the game. How can I start, it's simply awesome. You can do some of the ultimate matrix style ninja moves, such as jump in the air and shoot two enemies with your pistols, slide...
