Wet Quick Review

Just played through 3 chapters of Wet and just like the demo it still a action pack shoot'em up visualized game.  With a sexy female character to boot.  If you love the demo then the retail version in my opinion is much better.  What the demo doesn't tell you is as you progress through the game, you earn points to upgrade your weapons or abilities after each chapter.

In the retail version, the game starts off just like the demo.  You go through a small tutorial on jumping/sliding/wall running all while gunning down your foes.  As I progress in that chapter, you learn more acrobatic abilities.  One I had trouble with was that you cannot wall run on every single wall.  There was a few areas that I had to quickly learn to use Rubi vision.  Also I died a few times thinking ok i can jump there no problem.  I jump and oh so close but miss it.  If that the case then use your Rubi vision to see what you can use to get across.

If there any gripes I have it chapter 3.  Chapter 3 is all about completing 3 challenges.  What you do is, run through the course going through loops.  Certain loops activates a target.  Shooting the target activates 2 other target you need to shoot to slow down your time.  Last challenge is using the turret to shoot 90 targets in 3 mins.  I felt that this ruined the flow of the game.  You cannot advance unless you complete these 3 challanges within the time limit.  Last challenge was the most fun of the 3.  I been more happy if they just put them in the challenge mode portion of the game.  Only purpose it has is learning the controls and aiming your guns. Nice little bonus for completing chapter 3 is unlocking the dual shotguns.  Downside is during the challenge, notice there was no unlimited ammo for the shotguns.  If that the case then only the pistols have unlimited ammo. 

Yes there is a challenge mode.  It the developers way of saying sorry there no multiplayer, here some challenges for you to complete.  No I have not tried it yet.  If it anything like chapter 3 then i may hold off doing them until I complete the game.  For those who does not like the film scratch, you can turn it off!  So if your on the fence, rent the game.  Now you know you can turn off the film scratch if it bothers you. 

That it for the quick review.  I'll post a full review after I complete the game.

  1. I like the film effects. Makes it seem like I'm in a movie. I'm looking forward to playing Wet once I get a chance to rent it.
