Wet is an action game that combines shooting and swordplay with acrobatics and gore. The main character, Rubi, carries twin pistols and a sword (she can also carry dual shotguns, submachine guns, or crossbows), and can fire while jumping, sliding on her knees, and running on walls. During these acrobatic actions, the game enters slow motion, and she will automatically aim at a second enemy, allowing the player to shoot at two enemies at once. She can also combine her attacks, such as wall running off a person or performing a sword uppercut while sliding.

Definitely rating it higher than I should just because a game like this coming from Bethesda & (Now known as) Behaviour Interactive just doesn't seem like something either company would ever do nowadays. Apparently I ended up Playing the easy difficulty and I'm left confused as to what game design choices were made that constituted it as easy. the nonstandard button layout took some time to adjusting and once you get used to it you realize just how flawed some of the layouts are supposed to work in tandem with the controls. I never expected much from the story but its definitely straight to tv movie simple and cheesy. this game is just riddled with so many small issues that compile into one big mess as a whole and if it didn't have any upsides whatsoever I really wouldn't bother being on its defense. This game is overdue for a remaster/remake and a sequel because I really did enjoy its commitment to make something purely because they thought it was the coolest thing ever. the graphical fidelity just looks insanely ps2 reminiscent for something that released the same year as Killzone 2 and its obvious from the concept art that they had intended this game to look a bit more polished than it currently is.
WET is like if Tarantino directed a video game, but not in a good way. The over-the-top violence and cheesy action is kinda fun at first, and the soundtrack is awesome, but the gameplay gets super repetitive. The controls are janky as heck, the story is forgettable, and it's pretty short. It's a guilty pleasure for sure, but only if you're into that grindhouse-style B-movie vibe.
Closest you'll get to a Kill Bill tie-in game.
Could have been so much more, but the story makes no sense and the gameplay is clunky.
A sub par max payne clone that could have been really cool but fell flat. For all it's grind house charm it felt pretty empty.
WET is a nice idea but a bad execution, its one of the games that uses the "piss filter" and it looks really bad.
The story is poor and soulless, the only good thing about the story is Rubi, she looks cool but has a butter personality. The gameplay is good (when it wants to work properly). Let's say its a combination between maybe Stranglehold/Max Payne (the shooting) and Prince of Persia (the wall running and climbing) but its a bit of a stretch.
I liked the 2 chapters on the highway where you jump from one car to another, the sections where Rubi enters in her Rage vision and everything turns Red, White and Black, and... thats about it?
Oh the soundtrack was nice too, i would've went with something more metal to make it feel more alive, but i dig the soundtrack, its alright.
The Platinum was kinda awful because i had to finish the game 5 times and this is not the kind of game you want to ever replay:)))
