    This is a really really absolutely excellent game. Pretty much the best shooting game I've ever played, and I've played plenty. Why? Because it let's you be cool, badass, and hardcore, just like you were in an action movie. You can pull off incredibly cool kills and feel like it is you doing them. You can chain moves together to outflank unsuspecting enemies and hit them in This is a really really absolutely excellent game. Pretty much the best shooting game I've ever played, and I've played plenty. Why? Because it let's you be cool, badass, and hardcore, just like you were in an action movie. You can pull off incredibly cool kills and feel like it is you doing them. You can chain moves together to outflank unsuspecting enemies and hit them in the head. You can curve bullets to hit them behind cover. You can uses pistols the whole time!! I love pistols! Pistols are cool in a way machine guns aren't. I've always liked pistols more than machine guns in games, the kills are so much more satisfying because each bullet is a mouse press so you feel more like it is you doing the killing rather than auto-fire doing the killing. That connects you with the game more. And, perhaps most importantly, your character LOOKS COOL while shooting and killing. You character takes up COOL POSES while shooting. I love that!!! I love it when the game character shoots in a cool way. I love the way one character holds the guns sideways. It is hardcore! It makes you feel totally and utterly badass! That is what I want out of a game! Another game which did this a little bit is Dark Sector, if your character is standing with his back to cover he can blindfire the pistol in his left hand under his right armpit! I got a headshot like that once and it was just the sweetest moment ever in shooting games, because the character looked so cool while doing it. Also the graphics in Wanted are very, very sweet on a good PC. Basically this game does action like I want it - it lets you pull off cool moves, and lets you use a pistol a lot, so it scores very very highly in my book. And I am not some dumb gamer with no taste and low standards who likes any game that lets you blast away mindlessly. I hate blasting away mindlessly, but in Wanted every bullet counts, it is the opposite of mindless blasting! That is why it is good! It is a cool, good game with ace mechanics and extremely satisfying and enjoyable gunplay. Admittedly I haven't completed it yet but I do love it.… Expand

    Good game, good graphics, good music, weird mouse aiming, but you get the trick after a while. Don't buy it, DOWNLOAD it. It's worth of it, for real.

    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]
