Premise
*Taking place after the film "Wanted," based on the graphic novel, you play Wesley Gibson and his father as they confront other factions of the Fraternity of assasins.
The Good Things
*The video/sound quality was much better than I expected. It's still not as great as other games out there (like "Kill Zone 2"), but it is still a pleasure to watch.
*Includes some in-game unlockable content.
*Controls are easy to master and intuitive.
*Gameplay is relatively easy and linear. It's nothing terribly challenging, but offers the uniqueness of using slow-motion and bullet-curving powers.
*Level designs are good. Everything has strong textures and details. Some areas look as authentic as they should, and even includes some locales from the movie.
*Finally, you can use the cheat codes that were hidden in the "Wanted" special features of the DVD and Blu-Ray. It's a bit of a marketing ploy, I know, but now my collection feels complete.
*The story is not bad, and seems to jive with both the movie and comic book well.
*Characters are good. You can expect the same bad attitude that the movie had (but not quite as bad as the comic). You also get to see more costumed villians around.
*Music is good (same as the movie).
*Has trophies.
The Bad Things
*No multiplayer.
*Had one or two graphical errors.
*Not for kids; rated M for bloody violence and lots of language.
The Questionable Things
*As said above, the gameplay is easy and linear, almost to the point where it offers very little challenge. I don't mind, but it could be seen as overly simple or unoriginal.
At first, when playing the demo, I thought this was just another typical shooter with some horrid graphics. In truth, though, the game has good graphics and the gameplay is fun enough. Above all, I enjoyed the movie too darn much to pass up the game, and now I'm addicted to it. If you're looking for something groundbreaking, you might be dissapointed. Otherwise, you might enjoy this.

Wanted: Weapons of Fate for PS3 is an awesome game in my opinion. It is fun, action packed, and the way the story changes from present Wesley Gibson to past Cross and back again is really a treat for fans of the movie and comic book alike.
The controls are really easy to get used to, only took me about 30 seconds, especially since there is a tutorial showing you all of the movies in the game. I love the way you can curve bullets, especially while playing Cross with the semi-automatic. Gameplay is very smooth and quick with the exception of when your playing a 'boss'. I will say this; it is difficult to know when your life is low unless you pay attention to the brightness and color scheme of the screen. When the screen goes gray, you are about to die... but if you take cover for a couple of seconds, your life builds again.
Enough praise, now here is my one gripe.. I wish the game had a multiplayer. I know so many people that buy this game will only dream of a massive online multiplayer experience where you get to curve bullets, design your own assasin, and hit the open terrain in crazy bullet flying online action. Even if no online multiplayer at least shoot for an online co-op where a friend can join in on the game sort of in a time crisis kind of way.
Overall, I think this is an awesome game. I have no complaints as of yet. I played it for a couple hours last night and am ready to plop down on the couch for some more bullet bending fun. Pick this game up if you want to be entertained and liked either Stronghold and/or Bourne Conspiracy as a few aspects from those games seep through the cracks of Wanted: Weapons of Fate. You will not be disappointed with this game if you want to have a fun gaming experience.
WARNING: THIS GAME IS IN NO WAY SUITABLE FOR CHILDREN UNDER 16 I'D SAY OR THOSE OFFENDED BY LANGUAGE OR GORE.

Translating Mark Millar and J.G. Jones' Wanted comic to film was one thing, but translating the bullet-laden flick to the video game world seems like a match made in Heaven. Sadly, Wanted: Weapons of Fate is really nothing else but wasted potential. Taking place after the film, you play as Wesley and take down hordes of baddies. The whole curving the bullet technique is here, and is a fun little trick to pull off at first as well. Once you get the hang of it though, as well as the game's controls, Wanted ends up being a pretty boring and easy affair. The fact that the game is so short that you could finish it in an afternoon doesn't help matters any, and neither does the fact that there's no online play either. The game looks decent enough, there's multiple difficulties, and there's some unlockables including alternate costumes and the like, but once you play through Wanted: Weapons of Fate, there really isn't any reason to go back. Were this a budget-priced game, it would definitely be worth checking out, but alas, it isn't, and considering the elements that could have translated so well into the action video game world, the game just ends up coming up so short. All in all, Wanted: Weapons of Fate is worth a rental for fans of the film, but other than that, it's best left on the shelf.

This is deffinatly an adult game

I downloaded the demo for this game last week and I was pleasantly surprised how much I enjoyed it that I had to purchase it. It's a know fact that games developed with movie licenses are generally bad so I had no expectations. In fact, I was waiting to be disappointed.
In my opinion, this game reminds me of Gears of Wars one but with tighter and more responsive controls. Graphic wise, the game is just average. The cut scenes seem on par with a high a quality Wii game (Metroid, Zelda...). Though, the game does look much better during game play.
Length wise, the game is short. Took me about four hours but I enjoyed every bit of it. Gears of War one was just over the three hour mark in length (story mode) but not many complained about it. There is not much incentive to make you play through the game a second time right away, But, it's a game that you'll probably return to every six months or so because its fun to play and that's the important thing.
The music score is just average and not very memorable but not bad either. Dialog is well done.
The game can be a bit repetitive but it does not get boring. It's not anymore repetitive than Gears of War. In fact, you get to curve bullets and it never gets old. On top of that, you can slow down time for a short period of time ala Matrix style and it's a blast. The PS3 version of the game uses the Sixaxis motion controls to curve bullets and it works flawlessly. I feel it adds a bit more depth to the gameplay than the 360 version.
I know I compared the game to Gears of War several times but in no way am I a PS3 fanboy. I own all systems including a PC. If anything, I prefer to play PC games since I feel consoles are inferior with the exception of the Wii (I really enjoy motion controls in games such as Metroid). The reason for my comparison is because the game plays very similar via the "duck and cover" gameplay. The difference is, this game offers more options and its more stylish while performing the tactic.
