Wanted: Weapons of Fate was released this week by developer GRIN. The game has received only average reviews so far across all versions. So far it has received a 66% for the PlayStation 3 and the Xbox 360 version is averaging a slightly better 67%.
Wanted: Weapons of Fate is a third person shooter based on the movie Wanted. It continues the storyline of Wesley Gibson and incorporates the cool bullet curving action from the movie. The game also features a Max Payne like bullet time where Wesley can slow down time as he is moving from one cover spot to another. The game is available now for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and the PC. Check out some of the review highlights from Metacritic after the break.
AtomicGamer (79/100) “Overall, Wanted: Weapons of Fate won’t win any GOTY awards, but it’s still a major improvement for movie-licensed games and serves as an example for how to truly do a movie-game right.”
IGN (73/100) “I have nothing against short games, so long as there is proper incentive to play multiple times. Wanted lacks any such incentives. Something as simple as an arcade scoring system or in-depth stats might have been enough to make a second playthrough interesting.”
Planet Xbox 360 (82/100) “Some complaints would be the length (mainly because we had such a good time we wanted more), lack of features/replayability, and we would have loved a larger arsenal of weapons/locations. All in all Wanted: Weapons of Fate will do exactly what it is meant to do for adult gamers who pick it up in stores this week, provide a over-the-too fun experience with many ties (both gameplay and story-wise) to the Wanted universe.”
