Wanted: Weapons of Fate Review
I seen this game getting hyped up on tv with several competitions to win a copy of the game plus a PS3 to play it on, so I thought maybe its worth playing if they are actually willing to spend money on promoting it. But what I found was pretty much the same as I found with the movie, some cool bullet curving and nothing much else. Which is something of gimmick and you know sooner or later you’re gonna to get bored of it. Which is what happened to me pretty fast when playing.
For the most part of the game you play as Wesley (the main character in the movie) and once of twice as his father Cross during flash backs. The plot revolves around rival branches of The Fraternity and Wesley’s mysterious mother. But really like in the film the story isn’t very interesting.
The bullet curve requires adrenaline and you guessed it you get it from killing enemies normally. When bullet curving it shows your bullet’s trajectory and whether your shot will connect or not. Line it up correctly, and you’ll either hit the guy and force him to stumble out of cover in pain, or you take him out in one shot. You can also use your Adrenaline for bullet time, slowing down the action to let you move from one cover point to another.
The game gets repetitive quickly and consists mostly of duck, shoot, curve, and duck, curve shoot. You also get to play with a whole 2 weapons!!!! WOW a pistol or a fast pistol firing up to 5 bullets when curving! The animation sequences when bullet curving don’t seem to change at all just simply change camera angle. Its cool at first but to see the same thing over and over is just annoying. Even the boss fights are boring with the same repetition needed to defeat them.
I wouldn’t really recommend buying this game, maybe just rent it or wait for it to go to bargain bucket.!
