WET Review
You get to become Rubi a deadly assassin who loves to kick ass and doesn't mind being out numbered. You are a gun for hire and it is one of your jobs that gets you in the mess that you find yourself in. Looks like you should have checked references on the last job you took, but now you get to come back with a vengeance and show everyone you're no one to be mess with.
Graphically this looks like a very good game. the projector effect, however, will leave you slightly motion sick after a while. You don't to get to see too much of it unless you're about to die and then its as if the movie is about to come of the reel. The added commercials for the concession stand were an interesting touch to the game, but had me rolling my eyes about halfway through. What I want to know was there someone on the development team who had a screw loose and decided to go old school with frozen pickles and such? You will notice that apparently all the enemies that stand in your way have all the same parents, that's the only way I can think of why everyone is basically a clone of one another.
The music was a fun surprise, a punk alt-rock type of vibe kept me from wanting to turn down the volume. The voice acting was impressive by names alone, sure some of the sections were very muffled, and thankfully there was sub-titles so you actual could figure out what was being said.
The controls were pretty crisp for the most part, the d-pad to change weapons, right trigger to shoot, x for your sword, A to jump, and B to slide. Utilizing these buttons will basically see you through the game.
This was an interesting game, I wish there was a bit more to it, or perhaps that there was going to be a sequel to it. There were a lot of good things about this game, especially the main character, a very good looking chick whose skills could put anyone down. The combat sections got very repetitive short into the game. You're going to find yourself, at least once a level, having to close these spawn doors, and defeat all the enemies. You'll also have sections called Rage Mode, which is where everything goes a kind of Sin City color mode and your main mission is to rack up back to back to back kills until there's no one left standing. To be honest this game kind of felt a little Kill Bill-esque. It really did fit that mold, but like I said there wasn't very much variety in combat.
You'll start the game off with your pistols and a sword, and as the game progresses you'll all of a sudden have a flash back to remind yourself that you're actually holding more weapons, and upon completing an obstacle course you can use that weapon in the next section. You'll find that you have mini-guns, shotguns, and crossbows. You'll get plenty of time to use those weapons when you jump in the air, slide, or do a wall run, shooting while doing one of those activities will slow down the game and will allow you to mow through your opponent.
Though I found this game a bit short, and repetitive I was still glued to my seat to get through it to know what happens. So I have to give this game a 7.3 out of 10.
