Wet pc game series#

ItвЂ™s a shame as thereвЂ™s only one decent boss battle, featuring a murderous punk band where the lead singer has a turret aimed right at you. These QTEвЂ™s annoyingly become the main focus of several boss battles and the last boss results in a lame QTE. Secondly, there are way too many quick time events and moments youвЂ™ll be hammering the X button to open a door. This is not helped by the awkward camera controls, especially when it comes to Rubi exploring or fighting in small spaces. Platforming, combat, and movement is like controlling a tank. Firstly, the controls are rubbish for everything. This all sounds great but there are so many problems. ThereвЂ™s even a neat little Berserker mode where Rubi will go into a murderous rage and everything goes very noir as the screen turns to black and red as your super powerful character slices and dices. The high speed chases are very well crafted as Rubi will ride on tops of various cars, jumping from one to the next, while shooting bad guys and dodging massive collisions. Levels are usually broken down to simple exploration, platforming and combat with set pieces including high speed chases and arena style hoard mode segments. On paper, there are some great ideas including intense gunplay, brutal melee combat, big creative set pieces and a visual to match the insane nature of the game. Gameplay in comparison does not hold up as well and itвЂ™s a shame as thereвЂ™s great potential in Wet. I mean Gears of War, Stranglehold, Shadow Complex and AssassinвЂ™s Creed all looked much better. Not to mention that the visuals, even for 2009 looked dated then. ItвЂ™s pretty much a good old revenge flick youвЂ™d see from the 70вЂ™s era of Hollywood and Rubi (voiced by the awesome Eliza Dushku) is the Clint Eastwood, man with no name type, except a woman.

We play as Rubi, a hired gun whoвЂ™s taken a job to recover a human heart for her employer, which soon leads to a series of events, betrayals and mayhem featuring plenty of blood, gore and sexy acrobatics that result in death. Imagine Kill Bill but it was directed by The Gallows. Wet tells a rather simple tale of blood, revenge and slicing off limbs that feels heavily influenced by Quintin TarantinoвЂ™s flare and a punk edge for good measure. What could go wrong? Well, I was heartbroken when it came out in 2009 and hereвЂ™s why. Featuring bad ass melee combat, ridiculous high speed chases where you ride on the tops of cars, and an awesome looking female lead voiced by Buffy and Doll House star Eliza Dushku.

Back then another little game was announced called Wet and it looked great. Now back in 2007, we had the likes of Stranglehold blasting its way onto consoles, with intense action, goofy set pieces and epic amounts of destruction.
