No there needs to be a sequel that improves upon the first. Ze Kollektor is still out there and I want my revenge for him beating Rubi in there first encounter.
Yeah, mentioning Quentin Terrantino was spot on. Honestly at points it's hard to think he wasnt actually part of making this game. This is definitely in the style of Grindhouse/Kill Bill....and that's perfectly fine.
@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.
I LOVE this game. The main thing I didn't like was that Rubi can't jump straight up, only forward. And the final boss was so cool but we only got to fight her via quick time events? So lame.
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.
@broli3110 1: English needs improvement. 2: Though there's still the fact that one is HD and has a LOT more space for eyecandy and whatnot. Why not use it even if it's the same game?
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.
@OrdoMallius Just barely going on 10 months old and on a *Blu-Ray disc*. The age of the game isn't much of an excuse to say "Oh we'll fill this 25GB high-def disc with only a storyline." Sure it's worth playing for the story and killing things but nothing else.
@DeltaPhi79 I didn't, and I don't see how it could be misconstrewed that I did. I'm saying graphics don't matter; and people who care about the eye candy are caring about graphics.
@broli3110 Yet a Godzilla game that was on the GameCube and original Xbox (same game) looked almost ENTIRELY different and one had better sound and another monster. Going from a mini-disc to a DVD is a big jump. Going from a 4.8GB DVD to a 25GB or 50GB Blu-ray disc (with the Blu-ray being hi-def.) is an even bigger jump. You would assume they could use the space for a bit of graphic improvement, right? Even online polls and reviews criticized how the game looks.
I wish the sequel didn't get canned...I'm tired of all these cover-based shooters. Also, I love Max Payne, but it's basic running & gunning and didn't feature any acrobatics or swordplay.
@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!
I kind of thought of checking it out again but holy hell. I don't remember the same repititive gunshot sounds. That would bore me quick. Same guns or not.
@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
@DeltaPhi79 1.Not all people are from US you do realize that don't you? 2.Maybe the company that made the game didn't feel like making it better,why would they if SONY didn't pay them?
This game is like Machete but a woman who is playing the lead character instead of Danny Trejo. And I love it!😍 BTW I haven't seen the movie, Machete but I'm interested in checking it out on digital on Google Play TV and Movies.
I have considered girls like Rubi actually XD She really does have an influence on what I WOULD be looking for in girls, not that I'm doing that right now. She and Lara are tied at #1 in terms of heroines when it comes to me.
Did she just slide down a fucking ladder with her legs behind her entire body? This cheesy stuff reminds me of those "trying too hard combat scenes" that you see in one of the worst game ever made, Ride to Hell: Retribution, where our hero literally snaps an enemy's neck and slits it while he's on his bike and the enemy on his bike. Pretty repetitive game with a weird title. Highly underrated.
@5k4k1dhtp No, what's sad is that we can't have both graphics, a well-told story and game play because the conglomerate a-holes, such as EA and Activision, don't care about the quality of a product over how quickly they get paid.
I am once again stumbling upon CGRundertow by accident while looking up a weird old niche game and sighing. I miss your videos. :(
I got this for a friend's birthday years ago. He finished it, and gave it back a few years later.
I love how the guys at CGR can appreciate a non perfect game, unlike pretty much every other reviewing company out there
There needs to be a complete remastered/revised version of this game
No there needs to be a sequel that improves upon the first.
Ze Kollektor is still out there and I want my revenge for him beating Rubi in there first encounter.
excellent analysis, love this game for the reasons you've clearly outlined
Reminds me of Total Overdose.
If that's Rubi, then were is Wies, Blake , and her sister Yang?
Cool
Good review dude, hope to see you do some more games like this.
You are probably the kindest to this game that i've sen
That's the best burn I've seen in a while, man. You deserve an award.
This was an excellent and honest review, Derek. Thank you for that.
she looks kinda like laura branigan in self control.
@broli3110 Except the point is that an Xbox uses a regular DVD. It's to be expected from a DVD. Not a high definition disc.
Such an underrated game. I had a blast with this.
Extremely repetitive, uninspired and completely lackluster ending. 10/10
This game is awesome. Its only repetitive when you don't mix up your style.
Yeah, mentioning Quentin Terrantino was spot on. Honestly at points it's hard to think he wasnt actually part of making this game. This is definitely in the style of Grindhouse/Kill Bill....and that's perfectly fine.
Y'all sleeping on John woos stranglehold.
@Skwigle
Wikipedia says it came out 2009. And Uncharted came out 2007 and it looks outstanding, even today I think.
So it's a Grindhouse type video game. Hey, works for me. Great review dood.
@CGRDerek

@AbePacko12 with kung fu hustle in the picture, how could it be bad?
@DeltaPhi79 I bet you would rather play HALO 3 which you can finish in one sitting right?
I'm definitely going to play this game for the plot if you know what I mean.
after i finish the game do i start all over again or i have all the upgrades and weap0ns ?
i need this game in my life!! thank god my birthday is next week ;)
I LOVE THIS GAME! It's so worth playing and anyone who hasn't played WET is missing out! ^-^
Wow! you sure are getting good at reviewing! keep it up!
Despite all its obvious flaws, i really enjoyed this game and still plays it 10 month after its release.
Will it coming to Vectrex?
That wilhelm scream in the beginning lel
i got it last week, and beat it the next day, its really fun :3
Another great review.
nvm i thought you ment the sequal, heard it was cancelled
I LOVE this game. The main thing I didn't like was that Rubi can't jump straight up, only forward. And the final boss was so cool but we only got to fight her via quick time events? So lame.
Just bought this today for cheap. Can't wait

Your review was really good.

you guys have Spidernan as a reviewer? damn you guys are lucky?
what's it called?

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

4:53 Holy shit they made a version of this game for the Virtual Boy?
I want to get this game found a local seller selling for 10here in canada you cant find this game not sure why at retro stores lol

looks like a fun game.
CGR for Life!!!!!!
have they got this on ps4 ?
You really think this Max Payne knockoff warrants a remake on the PS4? Use your fucking head. No, it's fucking not on the PS4, and it never will be.
I wish bro, I wish
crazymiles Listen to TOMLEYKIS!!! This was BEFORE Max Payne......
crazymiles I have a huge cock
I wish the sequel didn't get canned...I'm tired of all these cover-based shooters.
Also, I love Max Payne, but it's basic running & gunning and didn't feature any acrobatics or swordplay.
what happened to your voice?
5:17 "But controlling her is often strangely imprecise"... I know some other girls who are like that..
@ImpressiveJEFF
I totally agree GAMEPLAY RULES but as long Graphics is okay!
@DeltaPhi79 Btw this is also on Xbox,i just wanted to prove that good graphics don't add anything to gamepaly.
Oh thanks for the clear up.
how can i beat da diving part
@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!
I kind of thought of checking it out again but holy hell. I don't remember the same repititive gunshot sounds. That would bore me quick. Same guns or not.
We need a reboot with modern graphics and controls!!!
Could be so good if done better
0:17 they used the wilhelm scream? lol
The graphics are also pretty questionable I'm surprised that wasn't mentioned , fine for an o.g xbox game.
Just because you have the horsepower of a bugatti doesn't mean you have to break every traffic rule.
Does she never run out of ammo? lol
Aeon Flux “Been there, done that”
looks fun but I wish there were more guns besides the pistols
there are

2:48 was I the only one who saw Mason and Hudson jumping across the roof tops?
nice job Derek
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
like max payne? like john woo stranglehold? then why the fuck you don`t have this game huh?
your forgetting VANQUISH
Loved this game, I rly wish the sequel didn't get canned.
the greatest pwn i have ever seen.
Doughnuts, hamburgers, and drinks, please.
she almost pushed the wall instead of the button. that's what you get for looking annoyed and not looking at what you do.
@soul0fdarkness The PS3 version is probably a port, the xbox version may look better.
id be funny as hell to see a replay of your mission in real time
if u dnt play this game, play it.. it's like God of war mixed with pulp fiction mixed with planet terror ,
This game is like Machete but a woman who is playing the lead character instead of Danny Trejo. And I love it!😍 BTW I haven't seen the movie, Machete but I'm interested in checking it out on digital on Google Play TV and Movies.
The first was pretty dope actually
hope that in the soundtrack it will have a litlle bit of the sex pistols or the clas or the ramones.
I have considered girls like Rubi actually XD She really does have an influence on what I WOULD be looking for in girls, not that I'm doing that right now. She and Lara are tied at #1 in terms of heroines when it comes to me.
I thought this game was decent. Its not worth buying, but its a good weekend rental.
Clunky controlled, but a masterpiece in creation, eliza is fucking electrict
You should use your natural voice more often like you do here. It sounds much better than your "reviewer" voice.
Nice to hear that they recognise psychobilly music
This game looks a little repetitive if she jumps on the floor every time she fires her gun
@JTshoot yeah well, the funny thing is, there was/is a porno game called wet for the pc "wet - the sexy empire"
@TompanX this is cgrundertow
@DeltaPhi79 It's the video quality. The game does look a lot better than this.
Did she just slide down a fucking ladder with her legs behind her entire body? This cheesy stuff reminds me of those "trying too hard combat scenes" that you see in one of the worst game ever made, Ride to Hell: Retribution, where our hero literally snaps an enemy's neck and slits it while he's on his bike and the enemy on his bike.

This looks way to fun to resist i must buy rigth now
agreed. And its always a fight.
This Game reminds me od "BLOODRAYNE" PS2
she reminds me of the girl from the anime "Black Lagoon"
@5k4k1dhtp No, what's sad is that we can't have both graphics, a well-told story and game play because the conglomerate a-holes, such as EA and Activision, don't care about the quality of a product over how quickly they get paid.
i prefer moist.
cumon man its a game, CGR Undertow is too serius. CGR is funny and entertaining
This game reminds me of mirror's edge, grand theft auto, Lara croft, and kung fu hustle. at the same time.
fun game but it gets repetitive
