With the subtitle on the cover saying "get ready for monkey business", you just know the developer means, well, business. Wet has finally arrived.

Perhaps unfortunately for this game, I have just finished Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands (gaining every Achievement) which, on the surface is a similar game to WET. However, PoP has charisma and a sense of occasion - both of which are important for video games.

Why is it that all game writers and developers suddenly lose any shred of creativity the moment they have to pen a female character? They always seem to resort time and again to the ‘bad-ass chick who takes no shit from anyone'.

It's Like… …an Americanized version of John Woo's Stranglehold if Chow Yun Fat was a hot white chick overflowing with Tarantino-esque B-movie sensibilities. In this incredibly over the top action fiasco you play Rubi, a sassy pistol toting, sword fighting, hard drinking mercenary who hires herself...

I downloaded the demo and loved the John Woo style action. The acrobatics and gun & Sword play were a nice feature. Rubi obviously has a problem with doors as she's always cussing at them as she tries to open them. This is definitely not your kids' game. I love the in-game video clips too.

John Woo action; In-Game upgrades; Most everything is interactive

Using alcohol to refuel my life bar is kinda the opposite of what I would really use; Sometimes she is in the elevator waiting for way too long

Wet is an action tour de force!! A really fun game that mixes old school Max Payne style gameplay with over the top action. The soundtrack alone warrants renting the game just so you can give it a listen.
