"Wet, Wetwork, a euphemism alluding to hands literally wet with blood. And this is such the case for Rubi Malone, a lone assassin who doesn't let anything get in her way. Toss in a little athleticism and acrobatics of Devil May Cry, some blood & gore from Ninja Gaiden II, the old time movie reel scenes of Red Dead Revolver, and the gun play of John Woo's Stranglehold, and you got Rubi Malone, the quintessential assassin. I downloaded the Wet demo from the PlayStation Store yesterday and just got around to playing it today. The game is really fun to play even though the demo i

s kind of short. It really left me wanting to play more. It does play sort of like Devil May Cry but it has its own mechanics that you can mix it up with. Watching how it plays its scenes like an old movie reel is very similar to Red Dead Revolver. And the all out blood and guts is definitely Ninja Gaiden II all the way. There's a moment in the demo where Rubi goes into a blood rage where the whole screen turns red and Rubi and her enemies are silhouetted in black. It's pretty awesome to see especially if you have a high definition television. The display of the game looked very vivid with bright colors. It really catches the eye. It definitely looks good on my 26" Sony Bravia. There's a small learning with the controls as far as putting your combo's together to take out your enemies. There is a matrix-like highway scene where you have to duke it out with the bad guys and Rubi is jumping all over the place by situational push button action leaping from car to car. I had some trouble trying to get through it at first. When it tells you what button to push it doesn't tell you whether or not you should keep pressing it or hold it. I finally realized that you have to push the button well in advance of the immediate action. So that was just one little hiccup. The enemies, or goons, in the demo are manageable. A few well placed shots and they're down. If you use Rubi's sword on them then they're taken ou

t instantly. Wet has that automatic bullet times function that comes alive when Rubi jumps in the air and starts shooting. Using this feature also allows you to kill 2 birds with on stone as you're able to aim at 2 targets at the same time. Rubi's other abilities are to run up walls and to run across them. Now this is definitely something that Ryu Hyabusa can do. The demo was pretty short and sweet. If your into all things Quentin Tarantino, then this game is for you. If you liked Pulp Fiction, From Dusk Til Dawn, and Kill Bill 1 and 2, then this game is for you. I look forward to playing more of Wet. The game is set for release for September 15.
