It’s not polished enough to hang with the games that inspired it – the action gets messy to the point of frustration far too often, and the level designs are rudimentary to say the least – but if you’re looking for a weekend sugar-rush you could do much worse.

Critic reviews
- 6.0It's certainly not all bad, but more variety combined with its razor-sharp lead character could have resulted in a much stronger final product.
- 7.5While a series of timed challenges open up after the game's been completed, Rubi's tale can be completed in a relatively short amount of time. Because of this, even though WET is a blast despite its flaws, it's difficult to recommend the game as anything more than a rental.
- 7.5Fortunately, you'll usually be too busy enjoying the action to notice. The combination of auto-target, free aim, and slow motion makes combat relentlessly entertaining, and the vigorous soundtrack and great pacing give the game a satisfying sense of momentum. Though there is a certain roughness to the action, Wet is still a raucously entertaining adventure.
- 7.0WET is mindless and dumb. Its saving grace is its self-awareness. With its bonkers plot, intriguing presentation and Tony Hawk-esque shooting mechanics, WET is actually much more than it alludes. See, WET may be mindless and dumb, but most of all - it's fun.
- 8.0Wet is a very good game that any fan of shooters will enjoy. Disappointingly, the game doesn't seem to quite live up to its full potential though, as gameplay elements get tiresome and controls aren't quite tight enough. Regardless, the cinematic presentation and the outrageous gunplay is an experience most players will not want to miss.
