    The animation and interaction are astounding at first, you feel like the badass that you are, for about an hour. Eventually it gets to the point, ok shoot shoot shoot, he ducks, curve bullet, dead. Rinse and repeat. I dont mean shoot shoot get hit and hide then do it, no, u can literally stand there and just shoot the whole game with minimal cover. The exceptions are the sniper missions, The animation and interaction are astounding at first, you feel like the badass that you are, for about an hour.

The exceptions are the sniper missions, which are marginally more interesting. I ended up just trying to get the gamerscore long before I finished the story mode. Definitely a decent rent if you are the kind of person that likes to play a game for an hour then not play for the rest of the day. This game is like going for a run, you think awesome, Im really doing it at first while you flip around n shoot stuff, but after a while your like why the **** am I doing this?… Expand

    Sadly I did not realize this was a console to PC port game. As with most movement controls are a tad sluggish and although WASD movement works, considering most of the time you are wanting to hide behind items, the combination of movements and another key makes things unwieldy when you are also trying to shot things. Some of the concepts as well as the graphics are nice; however, just Sadly I did not realize this was a console to PC port game.

Some of the concepts as well as the graphics are nice; however, just like games like Jericho, Criminal Intentions, and a few other ported to the PC, this one did not last long on the hard drive and I'm sad I spent the money for it.… Expand

    I bought it, installed it and when I tried to play the game, it kept crashing to the desktop; stating that it was due to "an error in the third party code". I checked the games website, but there is no support for it. Many people are also have the same problem. Apart from that it had a rubbish menu system. For the display options it only has two options, resolution and screen ratio.

    This game simply sucks donkey balls.
    There are very few good things about it.
    With cheesy stealth mechanics to uncomfortable shooting mechanic.
    I hate the atmosphere and overall presentation of the game.

    For its six-hour playthrough (you can extend that by unlocking alternate characters, but they're so unmemorable and non-gameplay changing, that they provide no incentive to play through again), Wanted: Weapons of Fate is at best a competent, fire-and-forget movie game -- not much more nor less.

    Wanted: Weapons of Fate, surprisingly, is not only better than a typical movie-licensed game, it’s better than a typical action game.

    A pretty but simple action game that makes the right decision to not attempt to be something more than it is and concentrates on a well-executed bullet-curving gimmick. It just happens to be overpriced at $50. [May 2009, p.76]
