    Briefly interesting, until repetitive, unimaginative mechanics make the experience more closely resemble prostitution than actual gameplay. Ok if you’re looking for a cheap thrill (or a rental)...for everyone else, you’re advised to look elsewhere.

    A competent shooter, but just barely. The ideas behind the cover system and the bullet curve are certainly solid, but the rest of the game just doesn't hold up that well.

    Easily the worst shooter we've seen so far this year and quite possibly the whole of last year as well, we can't see fans of either the film, comic, or third-person shooters enjoying Weapons of Fate.

    A stunt-filled shooter in the vein (but not the league) of Stranglehold, it's a game that takes control away, reverts to how things used to be done, and judders between debilitating combat and haywire presentation. [May 2009, p.92]

    Wanted’s repetitive gameplay, awful dialogue, and plain-jane graphics provide an underwhelming experience that doesn’t make a case for being wanted by anyone.

    This is a basic, but enjoyable cover-based shooter. It's a brief 5-hour game that serves as a sequel to the movie. The bullet curving mechanicThis is a basic, but enjoyable cover-based shooter. It's a brief 5-hour game that serves as a sequel to the movie. The bullet curving mechanic never gets old. However, the gameplay itself eventually gets repetitive. Bonus content includes extra skins, comic book covers, concept art and game modifiers. If you're a fan of "The Bourne Conspiracy" and "Dark Sector", then you'll enjoy "Wanted". I would rate this with a 7.3 out of 10.… Full Review »
