WET, is hella sweet. Outrageously entertaining gameplay. On occasion it gets a little tough to find the next checkpoint, but that is something I find easy to overlook due to the games' high octane gameplay, badass main character, and it's style. In a nutshell, I wouldn't sell my copy.

I believe they could have done better on the overall software aspect...it looks real choppy on game play as though they were in a hurry to finish it up so that they could release it quick! :-( Had they taken a little more time on the game engine side it could had been a great game like (Prince of Persia for example)! :-)

Wet is what I imagine came out of someone saying "let's make a list of stuff we think is really cool about Quentin Tarantino movies and put it all into this videogame we're making." Wet's '70s cinema-tinged presentation, over-the-top weapon play, and the seemingly intentional plot elements it shares with Tarantino's Kill Bill make this a slick-looking game, but the sometimes frustrating controls, over reliance on quick-time events, and lack of online leaderboards make it suffer from a slight case of style over substance. In Wet you follow the exploits of Rubi Malone, a tough-as-nails gun for hire that's got a vendetta against one of her former employers who double-crossed her, and will stop at nothing until she kills him -- sounds kind of like Kill Bill, right? With a title like "Wet" and a leading lady that's emblazoned across the cover I was expecting this to be another over sexualized game where the female character is just an object to fuel fanboy fantasies. Instead, I was pleasantly surprised when I found that wasn't the case. Never was there a lingering shot on the heroine's backside, nor did Rubi ever utter one phrase of suggestive dialogue; the only time you even see her wearing anything less than a leather jacket and long pants or refer to any kind of sexual act is in a scene during the second half of the game, and there's certainly nothing sexual about it. Kudos to A2M for not succumbing to the pressures of crafting a female lead that's not merely an object.Read full review
If your into films of Quentin Tarantino (Pulp Fiction, Resevior Dogs, Kill Bill, etc...) then this is the game for you. Gameplay: 7 out of 10 Con: The game play is fun at first but it gets tiresome by the end of the second level because your pretty much just playing the whole game in "SLOW-Motion" and it gets repetative. Your "Slow Mo" starts for every action you do: jump, wall run, slide, climbing ladders so it gets pretty annoying. You gain more points for killing more enemies in "Slow Mo" and you get less points if you kill in real time, so the goal is always to be in "Slow Mo". Pro: You can upgrade your abilities and weapons and combine combos by using your enviroment. Story: 9 out of 10 I must admit the story is great it makes you feel like your in an actual Quentin film.
I bought this game assuming I would love it. With the ability to shoot (or use swords!) while doing acrobatic slow motion moves, how could this game not be everything they said it was! Well... I was disappointed after about 15 minutes of game play. There are actually too many things to learn how to do - AT THE SAME TIME. I could go on and on with several examples of particular moves that require several fingers working at the same time on the controller, but I won't. Suffice it to say, if they game only costs you $10-$15 I say go for it and see for yourself! If you can only find the game for $30+ I say pass on it. By the way, this review in no way has anything to do with Eliza Dushku who does the voice of the main character. I think she is great, and in all honesty, one of the main reasons I bought the game in the first place! :-)Read full review
