For people that don't know, the demo for WET is out on the UK store. If anyone has played it, please post impressions.

I just finished, and the first half feels kind of like the poor man's Uncharted. Weaker platforming with an extra aiming mechanic, but it also feels quite like a movie. The second half, however, is where the style really kicks in. It's sort of like playing through the intro to Casino Royale. The background is red and black, and all the enemies are black and white men in suits. The third half ;) is a bit messy, the gunplay doesn't quite work. The QTEs really make the whole sequence feel like an over the action film, which is a good thing.

Whatever it may seem, the intent of this post isn't to get my opinion out there. It is to spread the word that the demo is out, and see what the PS3 forum thinks! So don't fail me now, try the demo out!

I am guessing a rental for me. I remember seeing the E3 demo and thinking, "Hmm this game looks cool as hell, but also like it would get on my nerves"

overall, i liked it. it was a little frustrating at first when it wouldnt let me use the sword (and wouldnt tell me that it wasnt available yet), but it definately left me wanting more once more features came into play. it seems to me that the level design will make or break the game. if im able to link from obstacle to obstacle killing nameless goons in a slow motion ballet of blood and bullets, then all is good. if it feels like one plain killing field, then the game will wear quickly. oh, and online leaderboards would be cool (dunno if they mentioned anything on this).

Had to play it a second time to really appreciate it. That bloody fight in the street, with the doors that had to be blocked, almost made me write the game off completely. Once I got the hang of it, and played the second and third parts of the demo, I was sold. I can get past some graphical and control issues if I find the game play fun and entertaining. This demo showed potential for both of those things in the final product. I think the demo would have been better served with at least one challenge room just to give us sample of what to expect in that feature. At the very least, a video montage (even Rocky had a montage) of the final game and challenge rooms, ala the Killzone 2 demo.

I guess I was expecting too much with this demo because I wasn't impressed... I had way more fun with Mini Ninjas.

Haha,nice catch, but I think the TC knew about the "third half" error. Light humour on their side since they put the wink emoticon right after it.

At first it was somewhat rubbish and clunky but once you get used to controls etc its pretty good.

It's a game which is actually really well made - it's just PURE FUN. I couldn't help but enjoy it, even if the controls and gameplay mechanics are a little 'clunky'. The shooting I really enjoyed, even if most people thought otherwise. The car section was also amazing, just seeing her glide across cars slashing with style and doing some cool gunplay. It all just felt awesome. But the (I think it's Rage Mode) was the finale of it, even if it was in the middle. It's extroadinary fun slashing through enemies, in the slick artistic graphics with white blood splattering over enemies, herself and the walls and you couldn't help but feel AWESOME. One of my most anticapated games now, defiitely in top 5. I don't care if the graphics are slightly grainy (think it's on purpose, to do with the style and time era), or the gameplays sometimes off, but for a tutorial, let alone a demo, I had so much fun. I played Killzone because it was supposedly technically great, I played MGS4 because people practically begged me to, but I never really had fun with either games. Sure, amazing graphics and then an amazing story, but it was always slow... I play it for fun so WET is deifnitely up there on the list. (Urghh, dunno if I'm gonna get flamed or agreed with, but oh well.)

I am not surprised we dont have it over here, it seems rare that we get a demo before the actual game comes out. Which is ridiculous if you ask me.

The second level was kind of fun but that third part needed some work. I would pick it up if I saw it for $20 but not more than that.

For people that don't know, the demo for WET is out on the UK store. If anyone has played it, please post impressions.

I just finished, and the first half feels kind of like the poor man's Uncharted. Weaker platforming with an extra aiming mechanic, but it also feels quite like a movie. The second half, however, is where the style really kicks in. It's sort of like playing through the intro to Casino Royale. The background is red and black, and all the enemies are black and white men in suits. The third half ;) is a bit messy, the gunplay doesn't quite work. The QTEs really make the whole sequence feel like an over the action film, which is a good thing.

Whatever it may seem, the intent of this post isn't to get my opinion out there. It is to spread the word that the demo is out, and see what the PS3 forum thinks! So don't fail me now, try the demo out!

I wasn't totally impressed, it was good but a drag and I found the gameplay to be dull. Mini Ninja's was more enjoyable but still not something I would rush out to buy.

It was entertaining, the second part was badass. Soundtrack was cool, gfx was decent (the bad guys where a bit low-poly) gameplay was good.

I'm a sucker for slow-motion (thx to max payne) and being able to use it all the time was fun.

Wouldn't buy it though, it wasn't good enough.

It looks really bad for starters. The game completely fails at trying to be stylish both in gameplay and presentation.

And it wasnt fun at all.

If you've played Stranglehold, you've played this. Practically identical.
