    "Wanted: Weapons Of Fate" is a difficult game to judge. Without the bullet curving, it would be an extremely tired, jaded and generic 3-rd person action game that I really couldn’t recommend. Read more

    • Bullet curving, Good pacing, Frenetic
    • No multiplayer, A bit short, Character models

    Weapons of Fate had a lot of promise and even managed to get a few things right. Its cover system is fluid, its action is fast and it manages to recreate the visual and audible portions of the film with painstaking detail. Read more

    • Tight, responsive cover system. Fast-paced action.
    • Extremely short, repetitive, limited in its execution

    The surprising thing is that through all of its gameplay clichés, Wanted isn't a total waste. No matter how mundane the rest of the game may seem, the bullet-curve aspect is a cool element and definitely a feature that... Read more

    • Has its moments, the bullet-curve facet is a cool and unique gameplay element, fast-paced action, easy to get into;
    • Not much of a plot, some AI inconsistencies, poor choice of weapons for a shooter (what's more, for a game called Wanted: "Weapons" of Fate), very short, repetitive, uninventive boss fights, ultimately another movie tie-in...

    Very rarely do we get a game based on a movie long after the movie has already been released, but that is just the case with Wanted: Weapons of Fate. Read more

    Grim, nonsensical, and yet oddly satisfying. If you’re in the mood for a short, sweet, guilty pleasure, Wanted: Weapons Of Fate has what you need. Read more

    • The terrific battle on board a crashing jet liner.
    • Poorly spaced checkpoints result in far too many do-overs.

    Wanted is a perfectly passable, often enjoyable game, but not something that will be remembered once you've beaten it over the course of a few evenings. Read more

    • Enjoyable continuation of the movie, Bullet curving is neat
    • Very short, Doesn't do much with the special abilities

    If someone told you movie license games weren't all bad, would you believe them? Read more

    • Impressive chain-cover system; the ability to curve bullets; new innovation to quick-time events; dialogue feels it came straight from the movie.
    • Over too quickly; not enough in the game to keep playing once you've beaten it once.

    Movie tie in games have always been very hit and miss when it comes to the overall experience of playing them. Read more

    Picking up where the 2008 movie left off, Wanted: Weapons of Fate sees unlikely assassin Wesley Gibson targeted by The Immortal. As the bullets start flying, Wesley learns about his family's role in the Fraternity and how... Read more

    • Excellent graphics & cut scenes, Curve bullets around obstacles, Enemy bullets blow chunks of walls around you, Fairly decent enemy A.I, Good cover-switch system, Unlock playable characters, concept art & poster art
    • Can't turn 360 degrees while in cover, Some frame-dropping during close combat kills, Hard to see enemies because it's so dark, Knife fights are too simple and brief, Game is very short

    You pretty much spend the first two hours repeating the shoot from cover and move forward scenario over and over. Then the challenge factor is increased by adding guys with shotguns that require 10 shots to the head to kill... Read more

    Not a bad game. Its a bit easy though but I dont think its as bad as what some official reviewers gave. One downside though is that its a very short game (6 hours max). Definetly worth renting. Read more
