    Probably not worth your time

    WET is a very stylish action game, with some "interesting" production values. It looks like the creative people were given some free reign to take the kill bill style as far as they wanted, and one could argue they even went a little overboard here. Either way, that's something I can get past, as for the most part the whole art style, and attitude the game has is pretty cool.  
      
    Where it falls flat though unfortunately is the gameplay, the combat is for the most part made up of the same two actions, sliding or jumping against opponents that really don't put up much of a fight, and the only time you're ever really challenged by them is when they happen to outnumber you significantly. But after killing the exact same enemies, the exact same way a number of times I grew somewhat tired. 
     
    One of the bigger challenges in the game is trying to use the clunky and somewhat unresponsive controls in various jumping sequences placed throughout the game, at many points you'll want to jump to a ledge only to find yourself blocked by an invisible wall and falling to your doom. 
     
    Overall WET is a "good" game, one that seems to have its heart in the right place in terms of going after a unique style and setting up an interesting style of combat. Unfortunately the poor control, annoying level design, and repetitiveness of it all make it difficult to recommend. I'd definitely suggest a rental here.

      The B-tier of video games which once housed low-budget on-disc titles for consoles is now largely disestablished or has arguably evolved into something else entirely with the explosion of independent games over the past several years. That’s what makes something like Wet such an oddity; it’s essentially a B-tier console-only title, but it was released as recently as 2009. In Wet you play Rubi Malone, a no-nonsense, tequila-swilling specialist in wetwork, a term used to refer to assas...

        The female orgasm and gaming have by and large been kept two separate entities for decades. While its easy for male gamers whom have never known a kiss beyond their mother to seek arousal from a blocky Playstation-era Lara Croft and her triangular cleavage, women tend to need a bit more. The onset of force-feedback controllers and in particular that Rez vibrator thingy have given grrl gamers too ashamed to buy a real sex toy something to get themselves hot and bothered with, and now we have th...
