Wanted: Weapons of Fate

mikeinsc's Wanted: Weapons of Fate (Xbox 360) review

As Long As the Movie

 Wanted was one of my favorite movies of last year. A fast-paced and silly piece of top notch action. The game has taken a long time to come out, so it doesn't have the rub from the movie to help it out.

I will say, for starters, this is one of the greatest examples of a rental. As a purchase, it's an incredibly poor idea. As a rental, it is one of the best rental titles out there.

The game is short. On the medium difficulty, you'll beat the game in about 4 hours. On the highest, maybe 5 hours. You can play in other modes, but none of them are lengthy, either. So, if you BUY it, it's one of the all-time dumbest ideas ever. As a rental, it is a really amazingly fun title.

The game isn't really closely tied to the movie. Same characters, by and large, but the story has little in common with the film.

It is a really well executed third-person shooting title. The controls are rock-solid. The visuals are solid enough as well. There is absolutely nothing wrong with the game. The game is really solid, however, it is extremely short. Brutally so. It is a horrible BUY. But it is a top-notch rental.

A very brief encounter, but a pleasant one at that. 0

From beginning to end, Wanted: Weapons of Fate is straight-up, meaningless fun. It’s a fleeting cheap thrill; a sweet, sugary high. Nevertheless, it’s also a game which fails to evolve past its primordial origins, and it never really goes that extra mile or promises a unique experience. It is what it is: a nicely crafted, slick, delightful morsel of hollow entertainment, which never surprises or astounds but very rarely frustrates, either. It’s a third-person cover-based shooter – a mash-up bet...
