Rubi is a problem fixer. She fixes problems. She's good at it. But when she agrees to fix a wealthy man's problem by finding and bringing back his wayward son, she thinks it's all going to be cut and dry. She thought wrong. The job wasn't so simple. And the man who hired her isn't who he appears to be. Now Rubi's on the run, needing to find the man who left her for dead, leaving a massive body count in her wake. Double-crosses. Enemies. Allies. Guns. Swords. Drugs. Old books. In an adventure that spans three continents, two warring factions, and one very agitated problem fixer, WET keeps the adrenaline pumping from start to finish.

* With her trusty twin custom made Colt Pythons, Rubi gracefully engages in amazing, cinematic high-body count gunplay against diverse and challenging enemies

* Along with her guns, Rubi has an arsenal of death-defying acrobatic moves. Her incredible agility allows her to climb on ledges, slide under obstacles, swing on poles and run along walls

* Rubi's sword is an instrument for deadly close-quarter proximity attacks. Rubi will unleash a flurry of multi-staged stylized attack sequences

4.0 out of 5 stars Sword Swinging, Gun shooting fun...but some flaws, September 15, 2009

= Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: WET (Video Game)

I knew exactly what I was getting myself into when I purchased this game! As you may have read in other reviews it can be compared to Max Payne and Strangelhold. Especially the real bullet time. I'll tell you up front this game is not for everyone! PS3 Marketplace and XBOX Live each have the demo available for download to try it out.

The story plays exactly like a Quentin Tarentino movie. It is very fast paced, lots of running shooting, sword swinging action. There's the basic play, every few levels the main character (Rubi) goes into "rage" mode which turns the whole stage to blood red/white/black anime style which is fun. Other different things the game features are "time trial target practice modes" and a few scattered button pressing action sequence scenes. AKA It will tell you to press the "Triangle" at a certain moment and if you don't you will get shot/stabbed/fall off a moving vehicle.

There's no online multiplayer but this game is fun. Good music soundtrack, great action, controls take a little getting used to and certain things may feel a little repetitive to some but it's at least worth the rent if the demo doesnt grab you from the go. I have noticed that most either love it or hate it! and **spoiler alert**....the ending is terrible! The boss fight is nothing but button pressing action sequence! No challenge whatsoever!

This review is from: WET (Video Game)

I was anticipating WET since I first read about it on IGN. After finishing the game, I can say that it's pretty solid overall and I found it fairly enjoyable. A lot of people are complaining about the controls, but I found them to be pretty intuitive. Not really sure what their problems were. The style, presentation, acting and music are all top-notch. The graphics are a little rough around the edges, but I wasn't expecting them to be great. I found the acrobatics to remain surprisingly fresh throughout most of the game, although things do get a bit repetitive towards the end (and yes, the final boss "battle" sucks). But there were plenty of "woah" moments for me when I wondered how other games haven't already tried some of the aspects before. With trophy support and adjustable difficulties, I'll play through this again soon. It may not be worth the full $50+ price tag, but it's certainly worth checking out once the price drops or if you can find it used.

2.0 out of 5 stars Wet is a very frustrating game filled with flaws, December 8, 2009

This review is from: WET (Video Game)

I was so excited for this game and now I feel let down. This game literally had me wanting to throw my controller through my TV half the time. Wet is the story of a problem fixer named ruby voiced nicely by Eliza Dushku. She takes jobs to eliminate targets and get caught in a war between two drug lords. The characters and art styles of the game were interesting this game reminded me of Max Payne. The problem is Max Payne was better and it came out what 8 years ago. The aiming for this shooter is a bit dated what saves it is that when you jump slide or shoot time is slowed down and ruby always lock on one target with her duel weapons allowing you to mow down enemies. In fact if you aren't jumping or sliding or something you'll be dead soon. This works fine in combat and its fun. However the numerous bugs and glitches wear your patience thin by the 3rd level and things keep sliding down from there. I died a ton of times trying to jump from ledges due to poor camera and touchy controls. There were numerous sequences that really pissed me off. First there was this spot where you fell from a plane that must have took me about an hour and half to master. Then there was an area were you had to slide under a door and shoot 2 locks on each side to progress the auto aim is random and I found this task to be harder than it should have. The game is very fast paced and has a nice style its too bad they were so sloppy with its design. My advice is to pass or rent it. Don't buy it though, it's short and frustrating as hell.
