GAME » Reviews
An homage to obscene grindhouse-style movies, WET is a third-person action/shooter soaked in blood and violence. Featuring the voice acting talent of Eliza Dushku & Alan Cumming.

Death in a Leather Jacket

The B-tier of video games which once housed low-budget on-disc titles for consoles is now largely disestablished or has arguably evolved into something else entirely with the explosion of independent… Read more

Stupid sexual title aside, Wet is surprisingly decent.

The Short Pros - Third-person shooter-action game with a grindhouse aesthetic to it - Feels a lot like Max Payne with its slowmo, crazy jumps, and duel-wielding - The duel-wielding, which auto aims wi… Read more

Who threw that barrel?

WET is one strange game. It is stylish and borrows lots of cool elements from other popular games. For example bullet time from Max Payne , parkour style running from Mirrors Edge and vehicular battle… Read more

WET Review

You get to become Rubi a deadly assassin who loves to kick ass and doesn't mind being out numbered. You are a gun for hire and it is one of your jobs that gets you in the mess that you find yourself i… Read more

Short and a bit repetitive, but theres fun to be had.

Wet puts you in the shoes of Rubi Malone, voiced by Elisha Dushku and she does a pretty good job I might add. Rubi is a gun for hire and throughout the game you'll put said guns to good use. You have… Read more

Little good but a lot bad.

WET is a game that has a stupid name, but a cool idea just ends up failing. the idea of an old school grindhouse movie mixed with a sexy chick killing people sounds fun but just ends up being bad. The… Read more

Wet is dripping with style...

Wet is dripping with style, but doesn’t always have the gameplay to back it up. You play as Rubi Malone, a gun (and sword) for hire who gets caught up in a drug war that leaves you running around the… Read more

Simple Fun

Wet is a straight up fun game to play that is plagued by some hiccups. It is fun to just run around slice, shoot and kill countless people, leaving them in a bloody mess. The slow-mo stuff while gimmi… Read more

Rubi, baby, why you gotta make me hurt you?

I thought we had a good thing going, baby. I was blown away by the demo when you first showed up in the game WET. Okay, the swordplay was a little clunky, but I dug how you flew through the air and gl… Read more

Meh!

Wet is as bland as you can get. The graphics are first gen X-Box. The controls are fiddly. The levels seem Cut & Paste, and get repetitive quickly . Talking about repetition, the music sounds like… Read more

Better than Expected

In the annals of really lame game names, this is rather high on the list. A third person shooter that seems to take quite a bit of inspiration from Stranglehold, WET is a game that has definitely been… Read more

WET loses it's indentity in a cloud of action game staples

Meet Rubi Malone It’s hard to talk about WET without talking about Max Payne , Devil May Cry , Stranglehold , or a half-dozen other action shooters for that matter, simply because it borrows so heavil… Read more

Only rent this POS

This game is only suitable for renting so that everyone can waste their time playing it through a couple of times just to come away feeling completely unsatisfied and all agree that a whole bunch of p… Read more

Oh, wetwork. Geddit?

Taking inspiration from classic grindhouse movies, WET ’s fairly unique visual style is mixed together with some slow-motion based gun combat that’s vaguely similar to both Max Payne and Stranglehold… Read more

Nothing to get soiled over

The female orgasm and gaming have by and large been kept two separate entities for decades. While its easy for male gamers whom have never known a kiss beyond their mother to seek arousal from a block… Read more

WET drys up like a puddle of water..........

Wet The only thing that could save this game is if Eliza Dushku came over to my house and sat on the couch next to me while I played it. I was excited about this game for a while, but when I started p… Read more

Probably not worth your time

WET is a very stylish action game, with some "interesting" production values. It looks like the creative people were given some free reign to take the kill bill style as far as they wanted, and one co… Read more

Repetitive. If you've played the demo, you've played the game.

Might have a spoiler in this review about a weapon Rubi has, and the lack of being able to use it. Don't read on if that sort of thing bothers you. Wet really tries to hit it's tone and attitude down… Read more

Van Redd Reviews: Wet

Wet is an interesting game. It is not going to win Game of the Year on anyone's list. It is not going to revolutionize the industry. It is not going to be remembered years form now as a hallmark or wa… Read more

'Excess' Isn't a Strong Enough Word

Bethesda Software is known far and wide for its incredibly deep, varied and story-driven games. Just so you know, their latest offering - WET - fits into none of these categories. As a matter of fact,… Read more

Half-cocked and Ready to Go.

From a "value" perspective, Wet doesn't have all that much to offer. It's a pretty straightforward, 5-hour shooter with some challenge modes, collectibles, and extras to keep you busy. Of course, not… Read more

Get WET with Rubi. You know you want to.

Wet is a very stylish and enjoyable third person action game... once you learn have to play it. It's not something you can jump right into, it will take some time to learn how to cause some actual dam… Read more

Stylish yet shallow grindhouse action

As the current generation of consoles continues to age and mature, many developers are striving to create experiences that are indistinguishable from Hollywood movies. Video game budgets continue to s… Read more

Dripping with attitude !

I´m very torn about WET. On one hand its an extremely stylish third person action game with great ideas, a superb lead character, one of the best soundtracks of the year and smooth, adrenaline pumping… Read more

WET and wild Action

WET sees you take on the role of fixer, and gun for hire, Rubi Malone , one of the more believable female video game characters in recent times. Over the course of the game the story takes Rubi across… Read more
