[8.25/10] Fun gameplay that works well and great storyline that is too short, Still there is some re playability.
* STORY ==80/100==
Vanquish takes place in the near future where planet Earth's human population has grown so rapidly that nations of people around the globe are fighting for the scarce available resources. The United States of America has attempted to alleviate its own energy problems by launching an O'Neill Cylinder space station harboring a solar energy-driven generator to provide them with an alternative source of fuel from the sun. However, the government of the Russian Federation on Earth has been overthrown in a coup d'état by ultra-nationalist forces calling themselves the Order of the Russian Star. More to be told but it will spoiler bit so i stopped the story works well but by the end it becomes the most interesting yet and then it is finished.
* GAMEPLAY ==80/100==
It's an absolute joy to play, but when the difficulty shoots up and hits you with a single-hit death on multiple occasions, things can get pretty infuriating. There's no faulting the game's mechanics and controls though, which border dangerously close to perfection. I also wish that melee attacks weren't limited by the suit's heat restrictions, as they're rendered almost worthless. There's not much to Vanquish beyond the story, sadly. Tactical challenges and the lure of improving upon your scores attempt to encourage repeated play, but chances are once you've finished the main narrative, you'll find little impetus to go back. Though slickly presented and providing balls to the walls action from start to finish, Vanquish feels a little light on content, unfortunately. Next time Please make the game longer or at least add MP.
* AUDIO/ SOUND ==80/100==
An ear-bashing techno soundtrack that we recommend switching off immediately. Once you do, you'll be free to enjoy the sound of grinding metal, fizzing ballistic missiles and bullets ricocheting left, right and centre. In short, great sound effects, decent music and also great voice acting.
* VISUALS/ GRAPHICS ==90/100==
Vanquish not only looks stunning, but also manages to pull some truly remarkable sights out of the bag. The first time you see the vertiginous Kreon for instance, will make your jaw drop and there's plenty of sexy motion-blur effects, sparks and other pyrotechnics elsewhere to keep your retinas simmering nicely. The levels are cleverly designed and the suit is absolutely stunning to look.
== FINAL VERDICT == 8 . 5 ==
Keep your fingers crossed that SEGA and Platinum Games continue to work together, because if they keep putting out quality products like Vanquish, then everyone's a winner. It doesn't quite reach the dizzy heights of Bayonetta and it's nowhere near as brilliantly esoteric, but Vanquish does put a new spin on the third-person cover shooter. And for that reason alone – despite some slight niggles and flaws – Vanquish deserves recognition because it is fun.
