Amazon.com Product Description
Rubi is a problem fixer. She fixes problems. She's good at it. But when she agrees to fix a wealthy man's problem by finding and bringing back his wayward son, she thinks it's all going to be cut and dry. She thought wrong. The job wasn't so simple. And the man who hired her isn't who he appears to be. Now Rubi's on the run, needing to find the man who left her for dead, leaving a massive body count in her wake. Double-crosses. Enemies. Allies. Guns. Swords. Drugs. Old books. In an adventure that spans three continents, two warring factions, and one very agitated problem fixer, WET keeps the adrenaline pumping from start to finish.
Features:
* With her trusty twin custom made Colt Pythons, Rubi gracefully engages in amazing, cinematic high-body count gunplay against diverse and challenging enemies
* Along with her guns, Rubi has an arsenal of death-defying acrobatic moves. Her incredible agility allows her to climb on ledges, slide under obstacles, swing on poles and run along walls
* Rubi's sword is an instrument for deadly close-quarter proximity attacks. Rubi will unleash a flurry of multi-staged stylized attack sequences

Sword Swinging, Gun shooting fun...but some flaws
I knew exactly what I was getting myself into when I purchased this game! As you may have read in other reviews it can be compared to Max Payne and Strangelhold. Especially the real bullet time. I'll tell you up front this game is not for everyone! PS3 Marketplace and XBOX Live each have the demo available for download to try it out.
The story plays exactly like a Quentin Tarentino movie. It is very fast paced, lots of running shooting, sword swinging action. There's the basic play, every few levels the main character (Rubi) goes into "rage" mode which turns the whole stage to blood red/white/black anime style which is fun. Other different things the game features are "time trial target practice modes" and a few scattered button pressing action sequence scenes. AKA It will tell you to press the "Triangle" at a certain moment and if you don't you will get shot/stabbed/fall off a moving vehicle.
There's no online multiplayer but this game is fun. Good music soundtrack, great action, controls take a little getting used to and certain things may feel a little repetitive to some but it's at least worth the rent if the demo doesnt grab you from the go. I have noticed that most either love it or hate it! and **spoiler alert**....the ending is terrible! The boss fight is nothing but button pressing action sequence! No challenge whatsoever!
Good, enjoyable, as expected
I was anticipating WET since I first read about it on IGN. After finishing the game, I can say that it's pretty solid overall and I found it fairly enjoyable. A lot of people are complaining about the controls, but I found them to be pretty intuitive. Not really sure what their problems were. The style, presentation, acting and music are all top-notch. The graphics are a little rough around the edges, but I wasn't expecting them to be great. I found the acrobatics to remain surprisingly fresh throughout most of the game, although things do get a bit repetitive towards the end (and yes, the final boss "battle" sucks). But there were plenty of "woah" moments for me when I wondered how other games haven't already tried some of the aspects before. With trophy support and adjustable difficulties, I'll play through this again soon. It may not be worth the full $50+ price tag, but it's certainly worth checking out once the price drops or if you can find it used.
Get your hands dirty with a little WET work
STORY: Quentin Tarantino-esque femme fatale Rubi is one ticked off chick. As a hired gun, she gets double crossed on a deal and sets out across three continents kicking butt, foregoing names, and acrobatically killing all who crossed her. Fun story, but not groundbreaking. Straight-to-DVD-movie-plot. If Eliza Dushku (who voices Rubi) was in Kill Bill, this is what it would have been like.
GRAPHICS: They look nice on both platforms, though the optional film grain can take away from the decent lighting and effects, shadows, and bloom. Fortunately, this can be removed, and it looks pretty comparable to other games. Not groundbreaking or anything that you haven't seen better elsewhere, but decent to the eyes. The level of detail and design and population of the levels is done with care.
SOUND: Entertaining 70's style music accompanies the 12 or so missions and the music changes at appropriate times. Not the same annoying beat as you go about killing. The sound effects of the guns, however, are pretty lame. Almost sound like an old VHS action movie.
GAMEPLAY: Rubi can jump, wall run, slide, flip, swing, hang, invert (man this babe is flexible) while shooting baddies in slow-mo. As long as you are still hitting your targets, the slow-mo never ends, so there is no time limit. If you do stop shooting or not hitting a target, the game returns to normal speed. You can kick it off again simply by doing another acrobatic move and shooting.
You run along various levels and locales, shooting or slashing (with your sword) all the bad guys, mix in with fun quicktime events (the car chase is breathtaking as you hop from car to car)! and that's pretty much the game. There are hidden cymbol-clashing monkey toys to find and health, but not much else to do except clear a room level, and move on to the next. The boss fights sadly, are also done with quicktime events, which I don't get. I love QT, but would have been nice to actually use your own skills when taking them down. There are separate challenge rooms you unlock such as timed run and gun, but that's about it. You can unlock BIOS and sketches from options menu, but no movies.
Lots of swearing, drug, alcohol, sexy stuff, so not a family game (though my grandma loved this. Just kidding!) But its fun. Not worth $60 though, I would rent or demo if interested. However, if you love a cheezy revenge plot game, with 8 hours of High octane action with brutal kills and don't mind the above flaws, this game is fun to unwind with. Akin to Dead to Rights where its fun and fast, but no lasting appeal, no multiplayer, and no reason to play it again once you've romped through the single player mission.
But, WetWork looks great on a resume if you are an assassin!
