So, with no multiplayer mode, WET is left to live and die on its single player adventure. Thankfully, despite not being much of a looker WET is absolutely packed with visual originality and the gameplay shines throughout – it's obviously something of an acquired taste and even without the film grain some might not find favour with the over the top animation and constant camera edits and cut-scenes, but TheSixthAxis loved the whole thing. Brash, gory and absolutely adult, WET is probably the best game they've played for months. Love it.

There were a number of cult classics that didn't sell like gangbusters, but still worked their way into gamers' hearts. Here's WWG list of nine great titles that deserve a second chance on newer consoles
I'll point out that these games are all from the X360/PS3 era - they've already had HD releases when they first came out. Split/Second and Blur - with the crazy vehicle physics capable today, why would we not want sequels to them?
The other games, all a matter of opinion of course, but... thank you for your ads between every single game. /s
Problem with sequels is that they aren't very likely. Activision dropped Blur like a bad habit, and Disney isn't doing games anymore. So I'll happily take the originals.
As much as I'd kill for a Demon's Souls remake, isn't likely. We'll probably get Bloodborne 2 instead.
Dafuq kinda title is that? These games were already released on HD consoles though...
Is the largely forgotten, 2009 game Wet worth a second look? Miguel Penabella considers the game in relation to grindhouse films and the phenomenon of the "B-game".
Some have lower standards than others.
I thought the demo was okay. I can't see this game being anything more than a rental.
The same site that awarded inFAMOUS a 7/10 goes against the critical grain yet again. I totally understand the concept of personal opinion and taste but I find that certain UK sites seem to be increasingly 'alternative' in their critical consensus. All well and good but its sad that the big sites like IGN have become more reliable sources for me personally than the indie ones. I find their tastes generally off kilter, pompously self assured and sometimes a tad pretentious..but that just my opinion and taste.
The game sucks, play DMC, NG, or God of War instead. The animations are boring, the music is annoying. Just about everything in this game is annoying save for the very, very, very well done voice acting. I hate the stupid arena battles because I never actually feel cool while killing the bad guys who swarm me. I get annoyed that I cannot upgrade whenever I want, infuriated by how they sometimes end a chapter right after the arena fight and I end up using points before I get surprised by an ability unlock that would have come in real handy in the next chapter. Wet tries to be cool and fails miserably because they never actually LET you do anything cool! This game is going back in the mail on Monday. Rent the game and decide for yourself.
Is it. The game is nowhere near a 9. I played through it and almost forgot it immediately.
