History VideoGame / Wet

''WET'' is a 2009 ThirdPersonShooter developed by Behaviour Interactive (then known as Artifical Mind & Movement), with an emphasis on over-the-top acrobatic fight sequences of the sort found in movies directed by Creator/QuentinTarantino.

Oh, and Rubi is voiced by Creator/ElizaDushku, which shouldn't be too surprising [[InksuitActor considering the kinds of characters she's played in the past]].

* ActionGirl: Rubi. Picture...[[InkSuitActor most of the roles her actress has played, actually,]] as a bloodthirsty gun wielding mercenary.

* OminousWalk: Rubi uses this trope at the end of the game as she [[spoiler: approaches Rupert Pelham]] and [[UpToEleven takes it to eleven]] by deflecting two shots with her sword.

* SpiritualSuccessor: In a way, it's {{VideoGame/Stranglehold}} but the protagonist is portrayed by Creator/ElizaDushku instead of Creator/ChowYunFat, with both games focusing around letting the player go on a HeroicBloodshed power trip with BulletTime as a key mechanic.

* Creator/ElizaDushku: Playing one of her signature badass characters.

* SpiritualSuccessor: It's ''{{VideoGame/Stranglehold}} where the protagonist is Creator/ElizaDushku instead of Chow Yun Fat.

''WET'' is a 2009 ActionGame in the ThirdPersonShooter genre, with an emphasis on over-the-top acrobatic fight sequences of the sort found in movies directed by Creator/QuentinTarantino.

* EvilAlbino: Tarantula, who beheads Trevor at the behest of Pelham.

* FakeNationality: Creator/AlanCumming (Scottish) voices Ze Kollektor (German) - of course, Cumming is certainly no stranger to playing [[Film/{{Cabaret}} characters of]] [[Film/GoldenEye different]] [[Film/X2XMenUnited nationalities]].

** Also, [[CaptainObvious Rat]] Boy.

* IdiosyncraticDifficultyLevels: "Cake Walk" (Easy), "Hired Gun" (Normal), "Fixer" (Hard), "Femme Fatale" (Ultra Hard), and "Golden Bullets." Insta-kill bullets (for the player) and a very small amount of health. In other words, [[Franchise/DevilMayCry "Heaven or Hell"]].

* SequelHook: One of Pelham's bodyguards known only as Ze Kollektor is only seen once before departing from the plot altogether saying WeWillMeetAgain and then there is [[spoiler: Tarantula being implied to survive her battle with Rubi]].

* {{Troperrific}}: Most definitely.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse?: [[spoiler:It's hard to tell what exactly happened to Ze Kollektor and Zhi.]]

* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: Most of the plot.

* CinematicPlatformGame: Largely reminiscent of the ''[[PrinceOfPersia Prince Of Persia: The Sands Of Time]]'' trilogy and the (recent) ''Franchise/TombRaider'' games, with the additional element of being able to fire ([[ImprobableAimingSkills with perfect accuracy]], mind you) from pretty much any vantage point, including while hanging from ledges, while swinging around horizontal poles, and ''while sliding down a ladder upside-down''.

* MusicalSpoiler: [[CrowningMusicOfAwesome Why Did You Lie To Me]] plays just before Rubi catches up with Zhi, who led her into a trap in return for drugs.

* AnimalMotifs: Rubi has a monkey motif, probably a reference to her ridiculous repertoire of acrobatic skills. Tarantula... [[ArachnidAppearanceAndAttire well, guess.]]

** They won't explode if shot during the car chase segments - they explode for entirely different reasons.

* {{Expy}}: Doesn't this game and its main character...''[[Manga/BlackLagoon REMIND you of something???]]''

** She seems to have a bit of a PsychoticSmirk going whenever she does it, too. It's actually a little unnerving.

** And [[HarderThanHard it gets worse]]!

* RuleOfCool: Basically the only way Rubi can fire her revolvers at a combined rate of 16 rounds per second. That's 960 rounds per minute, comparable to machine guns.

* SuperMode: Rage Mode. The entire game world goes black, white and red, Rubi can now fire both guns while running (though it's still better to shoot in acrobatic slo-mo, since aiming is a hell of a lot easier in BulletTime), and her shots do much more damage. The player doesn't have the option to activate this at any time; rather, Rage Mode segments are pre-scripted sequences of the game.

* SpiritualSuccessor: It's ''{{Stranglehold}} where the protagonist is Creator/ElizaDushku instead of Chow Yun Fat.

* [[DuelingShows Dueling Games]]: Rubi is very much a DistaffCounterpart to the RogueWarrior, who also had a uber violent swearathon game released at the same time as Wet.

* FakeNationality: Creator/AlanCumming (Scottish) voices Ze Kollektor (German) - of course, Cumming is certainly no stranger to playing [[{{Cabaret}} characters of]] [[Film/GoldenEye different]] [[Film/X2XMenUnited nationalities]].

* Creator/ElizaDushku: Playing one of her signature BadAss characters.

* {{Badass}}: Rubi, Tarantula and Ze Kollektor.

* DarkActionGirl: Tarantula, TheDragon to Malcolm [=MdDowell's=] character. Rubi herself would even out darken the page's [[Series/KimPossible trope girl.]]

* HeyItsThatVoice: Creator/ElizaDushku of course, but Creator/MalcolmMcDowell as the BigBad, Creator/KimMaiGuest as Tarantula and Alan Cumming as Ze Kollektor.

Oh, and Rubi is [[HeyItsThatVoice voiced by]] Creator/ElizaDushku, which shouldn't be too surprising [[InksuitActor considering the kinds of characters she's played in the past]].

* ActionGirl: Rubi.
