WET demo impressions

Okay, I'll admit, WET looked cool, but the substance look lacking. Well, the demo actually made a dent, and I am highly considering getting it. Heres my opinion:

Pros:

-Fast, relentless, brutal gameplay

-Undeniably cool

-Faster paced, and more focued on aerial and ground attacks than Stranglehold

-Smooth transition from animations and gameplay mechanics, like going from a slide into a wall-run

-Unique, presentation. While not graphically heavy, the "grindhouse look" is complete with grain, popping, fading, and cracking of the film

-Quick-time events look fun, and throw in a bit of variety

-Rage mode looks and plays phenominally

-Awesomely cheesy, yet undeniably cool soundtrack

-Rubi has a sword as a backup weapon, and two pistols as her main

-Eliza Dushku as Rubi!!!!

Cons:

-Looks like it can get repetiteve, more so if its a short game

-Some elments heavily copied from Stranglehold

-Graphics aren't terrible, but aren't a showcase of what current systems can do

-Controls can be hit-or-miss when trying to latch onto certain objects, like doing wall-runs or jumping off enemies

-The overall premise of the game is a cliche-fest.

Okay, there are my first impressions of the game. What are everyone else's thoughts?

The demo was lame to me. I didn't like ANYTHING about it.

For me, this is the worst game i have ever played on this console generation. I hated every second of it, i hope it get's some bad 3.5/10 review, because this is an unfinished, unpolished piece of s.

I dled it last week played it. Have not played it since. But i will pick it up soon or later

Ouch, thats kinda harsh. Vampire Rain, among others are much worse. but, everyone has their own opinion.

I actually enjoyed it. Especially the overdrvive mode or whatever its called where she goes insane and everything turns red

It will definitely give fans of Stranglehold something to play with the current lack of a Stranglehold sequel, and no Max Payne until 2010. I think it will be in the 6's to 8's area in scores.

neat thing is when you reserve it, its $50 instead of sixty at gamespot. good deal if you ask me. same offer with rougue warrior.

I liked it. I'll probably get it when it's price drops to $30 or $20.azzezino

Yep, enjoyed the demo but not a $60 buy for me.

I did not understand the hype about this game and now I REALLY dont understand it. Sure the demo had its cool moments like sliding and slicing someone with the sword...but other than that its nothing new at all. I think ultimatly the best part about it is how it kinda reminded me of the Machete trailer LOL

Honestly, I found myself laughing while playing because of how ridiculous it was. But in a good way! It was one of those games that are so bad that they're good. The game is lacking in almost every department except blood and action. I loved the rage part and the car chase. The demo gave you a very diverse look at different gameplay aspects of the game. However, I can't see myself paying full-price for a game like this. I expect to see it with a price drop in a few months though (possibly after the holidays). You can tell Bethesda made it by the robot-like animations (thank God it's no as bad as Fallout and Oblivion) and I was having some funky collision detection in the first dining area (everytime she touched a table she would just *pop* be on top of it. no climbing animations). I could see myself renting it or picking it up for $30, but anything else I'll probably just pass.

It was OK to say the most, the demo had me with a "wtf" face when it ended.

I'll pass.

I played the EU demo last week (I would assume it's the same as the US demo) and wasn't too impressed. This was already a game I was leaning more towards not buying right away, and after playing the demo I may not get it at all. The shooting seemed kinda sluggish to me and it seemed kinda of repetitive. There were some cool moves in it, but I felt like I was repeating the sliding shooting and the jumping shooting entirely too much. While there are a lot of other games that you could say are repetitive, for this I found it to be more a burden than usual because the whole point of the combat is to be stylish, and to repeat the same 2 moves over and over isn't very stylish in my opinion. To have combat based around style I think it needed to be a little deeper. I don't think it looked all that good either, and what little taste of the story you get didn't interest me at all.

It has the potential to be a fun little game, but nothing special.

I loved the demo. I've probably played through it 6+ times now.

I at first really didn't like it however I have played it again this morning and while I wont be buying the game right away however I think I would get it when it's pre owned.

are all of u guys forgetting that starnglehold sucked but the demo made a lasting imprint of the game on me it wont be a release date buy but after the first used copy come in im all over it

Same here

Looks like the Devs wanted to create a "cool" game, but what they brought us was just horrible

Eh, it was OK, I guess. I wasn't feeling the jump mechanics...I don't like how Rubi slows down during a jump and you're not shooting. I also don't like how youmove forward when you do a neutral jump.

With the old film reel look they're definitely trying to cover up the bad graphics, but if it has an engaging storyline and the gameplay stays fresh throughout, it may be able to overcome it's shortcomings.

I didn't particularly like the combat but I have a feeling once you become more comfortable with the controls you'll be able to pull off some pretty cool ****.

I'm actually quite looking foward to this. I get tired of deep games, that make you think. Sometimes I just like to shoot things. WET looks incredible fun, and even if it gets repetitive, trade it for something else after completion.

Does anybody else think this is one of those games that is so bad it's good? :P

Those graphics made me go...wow.

wet was alright, not a bad game, but it didnt blow my mind away like batman aa did and make feel like buying it asap. its worth renting tho
