Review: WET

Paint the town red as gun-for-hire Rubi in this acrobatic first-person shooter

IF Quentin Tarantino did video games - he'd have made this.

Because WET is the Kill Bill of the consoles.

The lead role sees one angry lady duff up boys with a bloomin' big sword.

And boy does Rubi paint the town red - she's the girl to make Lara Croft look like Tame Raider. Bethesda, who brought us the brilliant Fallout 3, have come up with this stonker.

You play Rubi Malone, a gun-for- hire tough nut voiced by the incredibly sexy film star Eliza Dushku.

Blending OTT acrobatics with 360° slip-aiming mechanics results in a satisfying first-person shooter.

The ability to pick off foes while shimmying down a ladder or in mid-flight after back-flipping off a wall, can't fail to put a smile on your face. But nothing is better than watching Rubi slide on her knees (like Wayne Rooney celebrating a goal) and scoring headshots.

Combos and upgrades improve fighting while a 70s soundtrack and retro film visuals make WET a mix of Pulp Fiction and House Of The Dead Overkill.

My only moan is the wobbly cut-aways that can make for a dizzy time if you play for too long.

There's loads of blood (it's an 18), so don't play WET if you're, er, a bit wet behind the ears.

Just dig out a copy of Tame Raider instead.
