[touge242]

[daveman247]

This is good, but vanquish is better :P

[AndromechA]

[Kingofprinces85]

Geese and they said Japanese games are perverted......

[zonzore]

[darkbyke]

Just bought this today for cheap. Can't wait

[pirospipacs]

female max payne?

[spartacon5267]

2:48 was I the only one who saw Mason and Hudson jumping across the roof tops?

[hellofromgod2001]

@Anni26807 come on man it's obvious that the onlive is the best console now

[Diamixen]

@hellofromgod2001 LOL hope ur sarcastic xD

[hellofromgod2001]

@Diamixen damn right onlive is laggy as fuck 30% of the time :P

[Diamixen]

@hellofromgod2001 lol

[prectec]

Job

[aeroaa2]

[aeroaa2]

@Anni26807 fak you spamming shit ps3 ftw

[MrBlackhill937]

so um 30$ hehe cheap as s&x these days

[TheTigerclaw1]

this reminds me of stranglehold

[jsandoval1574]

nice game

[3063259]

id open her pearly gates and get her wet.

[ImpressiveJEFF]

You fucking suck dude!

Gameplay Rules not graphics.

[summmmz02]

@ImpressiveJEFF

I totally agree GAMEPLAY RULES but as long Graphics is okay!

[gerehify13]

more than enough for me too. i enjoyed this game. graphic?what graphic?people enjoyed playing pong too.

[N00BterminatorX]

4:53 Holy shit they made a version of this game for the Virtual Boy?

[goooooooism]

@N00BterminatorX niiccceee :D

[AndyHarglesis]

It seems like the type of game some might get bored playing within the first few hours.

At least in Final Fantasy series.... you never get bored. :)

[V3NOMXIII]

@AndyHarglesis the FF series is RPG oriented...this game is full on 3rd person action so to compare them would be stupid. Besides, FF is going down hill ever since SE decided to milk fans with remakes, remakes, aaaaaaand more remakes of the old FFs. Not to mention FFXIV turned out to be a major flop. FFXIII was ok, if it didn't have the FF brand it would be just another one of your average JRPGs, nothing too special. FF has yet to truly impress this generation of consoles which is a shame really

[AndyHarglesis]

If you ask me, the game doesn't seem that good. I'm talking not only graphics, which aren't the best, they could have been better I think, but from viewing this video the game play itself doesn't seem that good either.

.... I don't know, to my taste, I guess I don't find this game to be that "great" overall.

[vishifishi01]

that slow motion is annoying

[vishifishi01]

i just wanna make you wet

[17thSHIT]

5:17 "But controlling her is often strangely imprecise"... I know some other girls who are like that..

[DaSoggyWaffles]

Do you have to shooot by sliding on the floor like that, if you do it's stupid. Slide, bang bang bang jump bang bang bang bang. Seems really annoying and repetitive

[TheDDD194]

@DaSoggyWaffles No, you can also wallrun, dive, wallrun up, and join them in a chain

[Juliful28]

Wow thanks for spoiling the game.

"Rubi dies"

[midakskyblast]

@Juliful28 No, he's talking about when you fail to complete the mission by dieing.

[BatssintheBelfry]

Great review :)

[madwolf]

Your review was really good.

[DragONheart27X]

Being an action game addict, I can tell w/c are special and generic

this feels generic

[Tw1stedMoogle]

This game seemingly reminds me of Punisher for PS2... kinda repetitive and nothing TOO spectacular, but just a lot of fun to play. I probably replayed the first level alone in Punisher at least 50 times. It's good to have a mindless gorefilled romp sometimes.

[KingDavid73]

I gameflyed this game a while back and thought it was really generic and boring.



[purpleblizzard]

So it's a Grindhouse type video game. Hey, works for me. Great review dood.

[Lamentus]

what the man said at 6:08 completely sums up what I think.

I like this game as well, with all its flaws

[Emceetem]

1:09 Holy Booty!

so this is just a bad bayonetta... sometimes i wish bayonetta had atleast this storyline, good thing for bayonetta that nobody cares about story...

[Quartrez]

@FuckLables That's the name of the game.

[mayavalita]

looks like crap graphics

[Gabumon54321]

The graphics look awful... Are they?

[monkeybites21]

this game is so lando

[mobius322]

...Wet was a lot of fun I had no problem paying $60 for it. I understand some didn't like it and that's true of any game. I just have a feeling that before every frat boy had an Xbox or PS and time to comment, games like WET would have had an easier time finding a niche audience.

[mobius322]

You know a lot of the comments I've read about this game point out one thing to me. Modern gamers are annoying little mainstream-big game worshiping wankers. If its not God of War, a sequel to a military FPS, Final Fantasy, or Madden its not worth their time. Its why we get nothing but sequels to successful mainstream series instead of original games that aren't just small downloadables.

[Lamentus]

@mobius322 sad but true

[ZJtraylor]

@mobius322 Hey man, God of War is my favorite game series, and I've played more low budget non-mainstream games than most people here.

[MaztazDJ]

i liked this game and the soundtracks

[thorncloud13]

This does look rather awesum! Kill bill meets Lara croft me thinks :D

[WoodelfGlarthir]

BTW this game looks really boring.

[WoodelfGlarthir]

After watching 3 and a half minutes of this review, im already tired of that sound that those guns make.

I don't even want to imagine playing this game.

[DeHomunculus]

she almost pushed the wall instead of the button. that's what you get for looking annoyed and not looking at what you do.

[DEATHMOBER1]

CGR for Life!!!!!!

[Bloodthr0e]

This game is horrible. The only reason this reviewer likes it is because, as he said himself several times, she has sex appeal. Well, she has sex appeal to a virgin preteen who can be attracted to a bunch of pixels.

"Her hands dripping with blood, she just thumbs through a wad of cash, whispers, "Eh, close enough," beneath wispy, tinged breath, and walks away"

Wtf is this reviewer talking about? And why does he need to have an exclamation after every other word? Such an annoying review style.

[juztin44]

@Bloodthr0e he actually said "Whisky tinged breath" but he was elaborating on the kind of 'person' he thought Rubi was. Personally if you don't like the reviewer there's no need to even reply, what good is anything but constructive criticism? I think his reviews are fine, as for the game, I haven't played it, but a mindless shoot fest is what I'd expect, so it looks grand to me

[AbePacko12]

This game reminds me of mirror's edge, grand theft auto, Lara croft, and kung fu hustle. at the same time.

[DeHomunculus]

@AbePacko12 with kung fu hustle in the picture, how could it be bad?

[vittau]

She looks a bit like KT Tunstall =P

[Dja05]

Despite all its obvious flaws, i really enjoyed this game and still plays it 10 month after its release.

[SawFarCryNaruto65]

hope that in the soundtrack it will have a litlle bit of the sex pistols or the clas or the ramones.

[Kahalasama]

Not interested in WET. Looks like a rehashed tough girl cliche. I like Bayonetta way better; also better gameplay. Her cliche doesn't bother me as much since it's also over the top so you don't feel like they were trying too hard to make her badass. No way I could take hair transforming into a demon seriously.

[downphoenix]

I thought this game was decent. Its not worth buying, but its a good weekend rental.

[GamerX89X]

@downphoenix I thought this game was stupid... All you do is shoot shoot shoot. Gets monotonous real quick. I remember playing the demo. I played 5 minutes (not even) and quit because it was ssoooooo boring.

[lemonlateralus]

0:17 they used the wilhelm scream? lol

[11Firat58]

This is the most unrealistic game I have ever seen.....no holes in her pants?? c'mon

[LizardDean]

Wetris++ is better than this

[MysteryAGMLegend]

not a bad game, but not an awesome gamne. I like Merceneries 2 for ps3 or xbox360 better then ths, sure different style of gaming but much in action.

[bonggzilla]

like max payne? like john woo stranglehold? then why the fuck you don`t have this game huh?

[quicksaund]

I'd rather play Chili Con Carnage

[lamborgboy]

This game looks crap

[iwouldlikesometea]

I so want this game.

[TabarnacosGuy]

@iwouldlikesometea No you don't.. trust me.

[iwouldlikesometea]

@TabarnacosGuy Why?

[TabarnacosGuy]

@iwouldlikesometea it's not good.. trust me.

[iwouldlikesometea]

@TabarnacosGuy But it looked really good, you've disappointed me now.

[TabarnacosGuy]

@iwouldlikesometea I'd say I saved you a 50bucks.

[iwouldlikesometea]

@TabarnacosGuy I'll get a free copy and see how it is.

[Ishidasouken]

story is garbage, all characters suck and action is stupid

thats what I think

[Skwigle]

1:20

HOW could somebody DO THAT?

[useless1997]

I think the PS2 can do that graphics, too. Looks poor somehow.

[CGRDerek]

@useless1997 I wouldn't go that far, but your point is definitely valid. WET has great style, but that just covers up its very unremarkable graphics.

[useless1997]

@CGRDerek

Yes, it's better then PS2, but when I look at Killzone 1 oder Projekt Snowblind I can't find much of a difference. Okay, maybe some light effekts and mirrorings, but in this game you can't see that 6 years are gone between this and Killzone.

The main thing that jumps to my eyes are the cars, when you look at Forza or something, there are totally realistic cars. Okay, it's no racing game, but to make two or three cars can't be such a hard work.

[Skwigle]

@useless1997 i think it has been released when PS 3 was out like 2 months lol

[useless1997]

@Skwigle

Wikipedia says it came out 2009. And Uncharted came out 2007 and it looks outstanding, even today I think.

[videogamerevie81]

Please review uncharted 2.

[superstickman42]

Wow! you sure are getting good at reviewing! keep it up!

[fpvshitsonhsv]

I HATE INTERNET BANDWIDTH CAP!!!!!!!!! Its pathetic amounts for high price or through the roof for unlimited (In Australia anyway)

[o3MTA3o]

eeeew. u talk about ruby like she's hot but they gave her man face. do you like man face? u must....

[TheCommentGuy8]

motherfucker? HAHAHAHAHAHHAHHAHA

[shadowtsunami]

looks very boring, graphics look pretty poor in my opinion, and the sound track doesnt match the game. The gameplay looks to repetitive.

[MultiHworang]

Why was this done in CGRundertow? This should've been done in CLASSIC Game Roim, I enjoyed reviews like Luigi's Mansion and that chef game better =3.

Too mature for CGRundetow in my opinion

[CodisOmodis]

This game flopped so hard. 200k between 360 and PS3 combined.

[n00berania]

Can you do packaging reviews like Mark? Or better yet, if you have one, can you review your dog?

[Victus6]

So...she'll do *anything* for the right price???

[eggsandbacon202]

@Victus6 I'm In!!!!

[zoszos5]

@Victus6 PROSTITUTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!

[ptwob]

i was thinking, wheres the bad parts, becouls otherwise this would be a gem. whell we can only hope a wet 2 can fix these problems

[Trevguy00]

Daamn you've gotten very good at reviewing fast lol Keep it up!

[pp2devane]

This game looks a little repetitive if she jumps on the floor every time she fires her gun

[5k4k1dhtp]

I love how the guys at CGR can appreciate a non perfect game, unlike pretty much every other reviewing company out there

[DieselVsVans]

Looks smooth and awesome

[DieselVsVans]

@DieselVsVans and ruby makes me wet

[littlehell786]

I've got this game, like said in the review it's not perfect, but it is seriously cool and stylish and fun.

It's a little repetitive, but you can upgrade your moves - the whole point is to kill your enemies in the most stylish way possible.

Some of the set-pieces are awesome - like the highway levels and sky-diving, and the music is great.

It's like all Tarantino movies made into a game.

I think there's a playable demo on PSN and XBL , check it out.

[XendmustB2]

Its funny if I remember correctly IGN give it a lower score because of the soundtrack saying "it feels out place"

[littlehell786]

@XendmustB2 I guess it depends on the reviewer's taste in music. I really liked the music for Wet, then again I hated the music in Bayonetta - personal taste n'all - everyone differs.

Check out the demo and make your own mind up!



[DragonRising88]

@littlehell786

couldn't have said it better

[uglypinkmoose]

lota people didn't like this game.... I thought it was pretty fun and I don't normally care for 3rd person shooters

[momo1tm]

that game is shit srsly?

[semisanity]

This reviewer sucks.

[FritoBandito327]

Stop saying raven-haired!

[dbz1229]

The repetitiveness makes me want to stay away from it =(

[TherianthropeAndrewH]

It doesn’t matter how utterly badass & powerful she is.

She WILL get raped on paper.

Rule 34 never fails.

I’m not a big fan of the PS3 & Xbox since I think the games are often overpriced for the five hours of gameplay you tend to get.

But this game along with Brutal Legend is making me consider getting one.

[yore5]

4:04 OH in the balls

[djklink20009]

female lead character?.. ! I'm buying this tomorrow =)

[Madmonkeythegreat]

How many bullets does she have lol

[evildwarf]

@Madmonkeythegreat Over 9000.

[Gyzyn]

Max Payne FTW!

[djklink20009]

@Gyzyn i just got max payne 1 and 2 and this looks just like it =) also i prefer playing as an ass kickin women :P

[Gyzyn]

@djklink20009 Max Payne just like it? No it's 1000x better, becouse of story and it has special athmosphere. Unfortunately Max Payne 3 looks like it's gonna ruin this dark city athmosphere.

[Linksapprentice100]

this gameplay annoys the shit outta me. the sound of the gun makes me wanna shoot myself....hehe, thats kinda ironic if u think about it

[dog5244]

The girl is hot!

[EconomyShark]

I don't 'bout you guys, but I'm sorta done with Undertow.

I don't like how he words things (reminds of a friend I used to have when I was like in 3rd grade who just used fancy words to show off) plus at least when I disagree with Mark, he's wacky enough to still entertain me.

[patrkcirtap]

@EconomyShark i definately get the same vibe, some of Derek's sentences just make me stop listening and start thinking why in the world does he talk like that? he reminds me of Zach on the show Bones

[Citrus3000]

I was very excited about this game, because I liked the demo, but it turned out to be a monotone May Payne copy........and I payed 60 bucks for this crap.

[KensanOni]

This is Thunderdome!

[iPokemaestro]

The Slow motion shooting seems like it would get repetitive after a while.

[busby3141592]

Good review dude, hope to see you do some more games like this.

[tornadexx]

rubi is so wet xDDDDDDDD

[TompanX]

whera tha F*** is Mark?

[angeloCOZ]

@TompanX this is cgrundertow

[Moisemo25]

@TompanX Dude, CGRUndertow is all bout Derik.

[Tiimen]

This guy's voice kinda (yeah, kinda) sounds like Michael Cera's.

[leoviper]

Will it coming to Vectrex?

[tornadexx]

@leoviper hell no dude its coming for vectrex 2

[FortuneNeko]

a game about a girl and its called 'wet' LOL !

[finthallon]

This game is horrible.

[Back0Down]

cumon man its a game, CGR Undertow is too serius. CGR is funny and entertaining

[dynastyduck]

lol all the gameplay looks the same

[nonamerus]

yeah i had a feeling the game is repetitive

[Chamele7n]

Another great review.

[BrooklynBros]

0:16 Wilhelm scream!

[soul0fdarkness]

Wow, looks like a PS2 game

[DonkeyDelight]

@soul0fdarkness The PS3 version is probably a port, the xbox version may look better.

[Kunjuri]

this game is so much fun,it's really cool

[xgame511]

id be funny as hell to see a replay of your mission in real time

[JTshoot]

Awwww i thought it was goint to be a porno game. =(

[Ishidasouken]

@JTshoot yeah well, the funny thing is, there was/is a porno game called wet for the pc "wet - the sexy empire"

[TheSonicx234]

@JTshoot HA HA HA nobody said that before

[duncemaster5]

@JTshoot Look no further than GTA San Andreas.

[robinvan1983]

this game looks so generic

[thepossieguy]

these graphics look shitty for a ps3 game

[ApocalypseNow012]

just beat flamelurker bitches, enjoy your fail review

[zDToddy]

Just because you have the horsepower of a bugatti doesn't mean you have to break every traffic rule.

[Gum2Gum]

there's alot of sliding and jumping slo-mos.

[17R3W]

WTF? No "firsters" today?

Is today a troll holiday?

@dajam9035

Sorry, no one to insult... this time...

[xXTREY4LIFEXx]

@YoyoSquirrel erhhm, I hope your joking.......

[VICIUS2]

@xXTREY4LIFEXx his just another retarded fanboy,dont pay attencion to him

[EvtheNev]

@YoyoSquirrel fanboy much hmm?

[cQnne]

@YoyoSquirrel oh wait you play games for graphic ??? WTF ??? are you normal ???????????? oh wait you are jew

[YoyoSquirrel]

@cQnne first of all, who are you calling a jew, secondly, no i don't play games for the graphics but they do matter to me, after all It's freaking 2010, shouldn't the graphics be better? that proves that the xbox is better than the ps3...if you see the xbox version of this game you'll understand what i'm talking about...

[YoyoSquirrel]

@broli3110 yeah you idiot but have you seen the graphics on the xbox? ffs...

[broli3110]

@YoyoSquirrel Its the same game -________-

[9B1T]

nice job Derek

[NukaCoke]

Pff. Mark is way better than these noobs.

[ttJinn]

pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew

*slide*

pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew

etc.

[kartupelis96]

btw whats with the donuts?

[bclaxforlife]

Pancakes

[Forgot112]

Rubi gets all WET when killing people.

[DeltaPhi79]

Looks like something the original Xbox could do...

[LiveToby]

@DeltaPhi79 still a good game though !

[sinbysin666]

@DeltaPhi79 It's the video quality. The game does look a lot better than this.

[DeltaPhi79]

@sinbysin666 You could say that but dude. The water looked nowhere near what you'd expect from a PS3, the car wheel looks blocky and flat on the side, human ears aren't smooth, the fire is unrealistic.... Yeah. Xbox 360 graphics can look better. (And to top it off I'm not a fan of the 360. And yes I just watched this on 720p and 1080p. Barely looks any different.)

[OrdoMallius]

@DeltaPhi79

the game is old dude.don't nitpick
