Review by Nick on 3rd May, 2009
3 stars "Average..."

I hired this game last night, and completed it on the hardest available beginning difficulty, and four hours later, it was finished.
It is extremely short with not many levels taking much more than half an hour to complete.
The limitation of two weapons is pathetic. Handgun and two uzi style guns.
Although the gameplay is interesting, the ability to bend bullets soon becomes old.
There are far better games out there, and i can honestly say i wouldn't buy this unless it was cheap, like under $40.
It became tedious in parts and i became frustrated, but it passed the time and had some enjoyable moments. Bosses are all very easy.
I'd say its worth a hire but not purchase at its current price. I'd expect it to be in bargain bins in less than 6 months.

Review by Adam on 4th January, 2011
1 stars "Not for fans of the comic"

Following on from the terrible movie, this game promised to meld the world created in the brilliant comic with the version of the movie. In the end all you got was a variant of Wesley's “Killer costume” from the comic.

While some of the stages were interesting and challenging. The turret and sniper sections were quite terrible.

Someone else claimed that you unlock more characters with each character having their own story? this is not true, you do unlock new characters but you only get to use them in the same story over and over. Nothing new from one playthrough to the next

if you never read the comic and enjoyed the mvoie then this game is for you. If you read the comic and hated the movie then avoid this game with prejudice.

If you haven't read the comic or seen the movie then go buy the comic and and enjoy that much more than you will this game.

5 stars "Very good game"

The beauty of this game is finishing it in a few hours. Only to find out, the whole time , you were unlocking other characters. These characters each have their own campaign and its awesome.
Easy gamerscore for those who are after it, and a really easy to learn, effective, shooting system.
5 starts-worth every minute of my life spent on it

5 stars "a very good game"

Wanted

On the 24 of march 2009 Microsoft realesed Wanted – one of the best third person, assassian games out. it is based on what happens after the movie – if they did make a second one. It's all about Wesley Gibson finding out who killed his mother and why they did it.

You get to play as Wesley Gibson and his father (Cross), you can do every thing that he could do in the movie, bend/curve bullets, see things in slow motion, slow down time, flank and other cool assassin things. When you play as Cross (his father) you play back in time when Welsey was just born.

The storyline was a little bit confusing, but it was a really good game. The begining you take turns playing as Wesley and his father but then you go looking for your dead farthers body to retrive a pair of really good guns. Every level you play as Wesley you get to fight a semi hard boss.

In my opion it is one of the best third-person shooters that i have ever played and would make a great christmas or birthday present

5 stars "Down right awesome "

I loved the demo it was like gears of war but you can curve bullets, how cool is that. If you like large amounts of action but with tactics at the same time then this game is for you. And thanks to the great deal by mighty ape you get the movie free with this item.
