    WET

    Game » consists of 6 releases. Released Sep 15, 2009

    An homage to obscene grindhouse-style movies, WET is a third-person action/shooter soaked in blood and violence. Featuring the voice acting talent of Eliza Dushku & Alan Cumming.

    This just feels like a really weak Total Overdose...

    Remember Total Overdose/ Chili Con Carnage?  Well I couldn't forget them whilst playing the demo just now.  This game just feels like a really weak successor to them.  I mean, they didn't have the best of gameplay, but they were funny and varied enough to forgive them...this just isn't. 
     
    Anyone else feel the same?

    I sort of agree. I think the biggest problem with WET is that the stunts aren't as smooth as they should be.
    And since stunting and shooting makes you auto target, I was mostly jumping around a bunch.. and it doesn't look cool or feel good.
    I hated the QTE jumping between cars part of the demo.
     
     The game looks delicious though, when the whole screen turns red and everything is red/black/white.. that segment was pretty kick-ass. (Non-smooth ass, obviously, in un-smooth ways.)

    I actually didn't mind the QTE sections too much, but i thought the stunts were not smooth at all. 
     
    I do agree that the red/black/white section looked incredible though!

    I thought the demo was alright.  I wouldn't buy it, but it would be fun for a rental.

    The problem with Total Overdose was the open world stuff was shoddily handled. That's why Chilli Con Carnage was the better version. I prefer WET to CCC though because WET has a sense of style about it that fits with the rest of it better. But now I need to go play Chilli again as that game was great fun >_>

    Total Overdose was a rare low-budget gem.

    I'm disappointed to hear that the stunts in WET feel so un-smooth. They were one thing I thought the game might really have going for it.
