    WET drys up like a puddle of water..........


    Wet

    The only thing that could save this game is if Eliza Dushku came over to my house and sat on the couch next to me while I played it. I was excited about this game for a while, but when I started playing I could tell that it was going to be one of those games that I had to force myself to like. All of the elements and cool ideas are there, but the controls simply do not work, and this ruins the game. First off the buttons rarely ever react when they are supposed to. I noticed this several times when trying to go into a slide while running. Secondly, the camera has to be controlled manually while you try to maneuver your character and target icon all at once. There is no way to lock onto your enemies, no way to crouch, and no way to duck, which can cause problems. The level design is not all that creative and it can be confusing sometimes where the user is supposed to go, not to mention the soundtrack is horrible and very annoying.

    With all of this said, the game can be fun if you can get used to the controls. The art style is interesting enough to look at, and there are some pretty cool car chase scenes where you do the old God of War button call out drill. Not an entirely bad game but it might take some getting used to if you want to enjoy it.

      Little good but a lot bad. 0

      WET is a game that has a stupid name, but a cool idea just ends up failing. the idea of an old school grindhouse movie mixed with a sexy chick killing people sounds fun but just ends up being bad.  The Good The grindhouse Effect is cool it is something different and adds something to the game like when you die it gets worse and then in between levels they have these grindhouse ads which are funny and cool.The music is awesome and thats what they have something wright in this game. the sword is a...
