Product Information

Action and adventure combine with acrobatics and swordplay in the game Wet for Microsoft Xbox 360. This game was developed by Artificial Mind and Movement and published by Bethesda Softworks with a release date of September 2009 for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 (PS3). It is an innovative single-player third-person shooter action game. Wet revolves around the main character named Rubi who is a high-flying acrobatic gunslinger. Rubi is considered a “problem-solver” which, in this game, means she is a bounty hunter and general mercenary. The action begins when Rubi is hired to retrieve a briefcase that had been hijacked by a gang. After a bloody battle, she successfully obtains the case and delivers it to a hospital where she discovers that inside is a human heart. This heart is needed for a transplant for a very powerful man named William Ackers. One year later she is approached by Mr. Ackers in her Texas hideout and he offers a job to rescue his son in Hong Kong, who has fallen into a bad crowd. Rubi accepts the job and is able to continue on her journey to Hong Kong, where the game really begins to take off. The player navigates with Rubi through Hong Kong’s stylish underworld, where Rubi encounters some unexpected enemies and situations. It’s up to the player to navigate Rubi through these scenes and accomplish her goals. But as Wet carries on with it’s complex tale of action-packed adventure, deceit, and suspense Rubi’s adventure spans three different continents and a mind-boggling array of dangerous situations. Throughout gameplay in Wet, Rubi must rely on stealth to fight off her many attackers, using a variety of combat techniques. By default, she carries two pistols and a sword, but can also carry dual shotguns, submachine guns, or crossbows. The player can combine Rubi’s acrobatic skills with her fancy weapon handling to create visually-stunning jumps, slides and cool maneuvers, like running on walls. During these acrobatic techniques, the game enters slow motion mode which activates auto-aim, giving her the ability to kill multiple enemy characters at once. She can even combine different attack techniques to multiply kill count, which will increase the score and rate at which Rubi’s health can regenerate. Another way to regenerate health is to find and collect bottles of whiskey. During some areas of the game, Rubi’s face gets covered in blood and she enters a murderous rage in which she becomes faster, stronger, and can defeat multiple enemies at once. At the end of each stage in the game, the player is graded on three different factors: completion time, acrobatics, and average multiplier (high body count). Style points are given depending on the rating for each factor. These points allow the player to purchase upgrades for the character and her weapons. These upgrades include things such as health blocks or increased firing rate and damage. Wet for Xbox 360 is a great game for players who love action, adventure, and suspense and is rated M for mature meaning players should be seventeen or older. This rating is set due to blood and gore, drug reference, intense violence, sexual content, and strong language.
