As a tribute to 70′s Kung-Fu styled action, Wet excels. It’s gratuitous, obscene, fast paced and fun. You’ll spend the majority of the game diving, sliding, and wall running in slow motion; during which time you’ll also be duel wielding various weapons in an attempt to rack up as many “aerobic” kills in an area as possible. Then you’ll rinse and repeat the process. Thankfully, the game has the sense to be short enough to keep the repetitious game play from becoming boring.
A couple of collectibles strategically placed throughout the game do little to distract from the stark linearity of the level design; and despite the best vocal talents of Eliza Dushku, as the protagonist, I found the story incomprehensible and uninteresting — but this shouldn’t take away from the enjoyment of the game.
Wet is an action packed, guilty pleasure that invites you to check your mind at the door and shoot anything that moves. If you don’t expect anything more, you won’t be disappointed.
You'll spend A LOT of time running on walls.

love it….its soo my kinda game. only its too short. it only took me 2 days to get through. my fav is the red terentino style blood baths.
The game was very short; but I’m actually glad it was. If it went too much longer, it would have become tedious.
