DeVuego

The search for the best angle to take a shot, the good controls and smooth gameplay combine into a fast-paced foray, which ends just as fast after only four hours. There should have been a multi-player mode, the father and son characters almost demand a co-operative mode. The game is cheaper than usual, but it's still too expensive for a game that short.

Wanted si presenta orgogliosamente, e si conferma, come agitante, scontato, blando. Senza misure intermedie, potenzialmente divertente e potenzialmente tedioso a seconda dei gusti di chi lo completa: uno strumento di intrattenimento che chiede di ricevere quanto più possibile da voi ma senza restituire molto in cambio. Basta quindi prenderlo per ciò che vuole assolutamente essere, ma anche nella consapevolezza che ci sono alternative che potrebbero attirarvi con le stesse premesse, e rivelarsi più sostanziose. Intanto che ponderate la possibilità di investire il vostro tempo su Wanted o altrove, a seconda di ciò che cercate, potreste provare a capire quali tra i Pro sono stati da noi messi tra i Contro, e viceversa.

The combat is, despite flowing well, incredibly and utterly console. 

There’s a mixed bag of ideas present in Wanted: Weapons of Fate, but as a whole it feels terribly rushed. In the gameplay area, it’s just about competent, but still lacking some vital ingredients. The mechanics surrounding cover and the various techniques the player can utilise are there, but the execution is really nowhere to be found, and despite its stylish appearance and outward level of polish, it’s incredibly light on content. Don’t let it be confused for a polished turd, because it’s rather a polished nothingness, a great big hole where someone left a few useful tools and mysteriously departed. Style is by no means a bad thing, but when it’s too distanced from the player they simply become another spectator, and if Wanted is guilty of nothing else – which, by the way, it is – it’s this.
