Basically, this is a game that was picked up by Bethesda after a different publishing company decided it didn't seem for them after a point. Bethesda then said that they'll publish it when Artificial Mind says it's done. But it wasn't done. The graphics were outdated and grainy. The gameplay was redundant and the final boss fight is all a quick time event. A bad one at that. While the story was good and that grindhouse movie feel was great along with the acrobatic tone and number flying around. Blood and gore everywhere. It was fun but could have been better if they gave it more polish and took out the QTEs to make the boss fight an actual challenging experience.

Presentation: The game feels like a grindhouse film. A good one, it's got that purposeful grain sometimes, fun over realism combat and direction like a Quentin Tarantino film. Great presentation.

Graphics: Pixelated when you get to the point where the camera zooms in on Rubi's face in a cutscene. The tone is nice but when it shows its dated graphics more closely, it really does WET no justice.

Gameplay: Fun. Should have had less random QTEs that didn't belong. The change of pace with the rage moments is fun. If it were less point based, it would be a better game. Sometimes the controls are iffy but all in all, the gameplay is all about fun.

Sound: The sound of men screaming, gun shots, and bone slicing is all quite nice. The blood pouring sounds like someone watering a sidewalk with a hose but it's still nice. And the soundtrack is great.

Lasting Appeal: There's no multiplayer and it's not a game you want to go back for collectables or achievements/trophies so there is absolutely no lasting appeal. You beat this short game and then you're done with it.

This game is a definite Rent. It is an absolute blast but a short lived one seeing as the story is less than 4 hours long. Or buy used as Gamestop, keep the receipt and return for a full refund after you beat it... all in the same day.

  Rubi, the acrobatic heroine, would make almost anyone pick up this game. Maybe.

  Graphics: 7.0 - The graphics in the game are mediocre. They don't come close to what we expect at this point. The cinema effect would have been fine if the screen didn't get brighter and darker... Gameplay: 8.0 - T... Read Full Review
