From Big Screen to Video Game
Kicking into action where the hit film left off, Wanted: Weapons of Fate lets you take on the role of Wesley Gibson -- a super assassin and the heir to The Fraternity's legacy of power. Your position has made you a target for a renegade faction of The Fraternity that is dead-set on hunting you down and killing you. In order to survive you must master an arsenal of deadly skills to protect the secrets of The Fraternity and turn the table on those who want you dead.

Bend bullets and Become a Super Assassin
This game employs plenty of mechanics that fans of the movie are sure to love. The most obvious example is curved bullets. During game play you can curve a bullet around objects or corners to hit your target. You can determine the curved trajectory of your bullet so it can bend around columns and take out multiple enemies in a single shot, or use this skill to hit an explosive object and take out your enemy with a blast.

Other cool game play features include a "quick-chain" cover to shield yourself and move through the environment with remarkable speed. The pace of the game and your assassin skills encourage close, hand-to-hand combat for even greater excitement. And as you hone your skills, you can even take down multiple enemies with sheer precision while using Assassin Time.

Meet The Heir
Wesley Gibson -- The Heir -- was once an insignificant nobody, but now he's the successor to his father's legacy as The Killer. After being betrayed by The Fraternity that trained him, Wesley took his destiny into his own hands and exacted his revenge on them all. Now he is surrounded by the destruction he caused with nothing but questions about his heritage, The Fraternity, and the Will of Fate. The answers he seeks are out there, but so is a bullet with his name on it.

The Assassin's Directory
The Russian is The Fraternity's cleaner. Known as Death's Janitor he is vulgar and perverted. He finds pleasure in things that others would find appalling. As the leader of the French Fraternity, The Immortal is not a villain -- he's a fanatic. he will stop at nothing to follow The Code of Weavers with an unwavering, unquestioning commitment. The Immortal is a supremely skilled assassin almost equal to that of The Killer (Gibson's father). Remorseless, it is not his fault that deaths occur by his hands, it is the fault of his victims for being "only mortal," and incapable of escaping Fate's Will.

Cross, also known as The Killer, is the greatest assassin that has ever lived. A member of the Chicago Fraternity, he is a true believer in The Fraternity's tenet of "Kill one, save a thousand." Although his name was never wove by the Loom of Fate, Cross discovered a secret in the Chicago Fraternity that made him the target of those who were once his allies.

Customer Reviews

Good but could have been better!
At first I wasn't sure about this game, loved the movie but was aprahensive of how it would translate as a game. I must say it does so very well. The bullet curving technique is fiddly but feels great once you get the hang of it. As a protagonist Wesley is not very likeable and the game is criminally short. Also the AI doesn't present a great challenge and the close quarter kills are restricted to just 3 different kills. A good game but a missed oppurtunity overall.

Not Bad

I would give this game top marks for expermenting, as it
uses really cool ingame enhancements , for example
curving bullets is awesome and an easy way to kill enemies that are
anoyingly hiding behind pillars. The movement over box's is sometimes fun, sliding along on your knees in slo-mo whilst fending off enemies.

The game could be improved greatly if it had a better storyline or
a longer storyline, although you can change difficulties and replay it
i personally got bored on the thrid playthrough on 'Killer' difficulty.
I also thought that the game should of had an online play as i completed it, probably in 6-9 hours and had nothing else really to do. Curving bullets should of been toned down slightly as it does make the game extemely easy, although it is fun.

Wanted is a really fun game that i would'nt buy for full price but to buy as a pre-owned item or under £20.

Loved it
I totally agree with the people who say this game is short, it is! very short, infact it's probably the shortest game I have ever played but its action packed from begining to end, exciting and fun.. the controlls take a little while to get used to, you always seem to be sticking to walls etc and can't get off but after playing it for 20 or 30 mins I was used to moving around and curving bullets like there was no tomorrow.. so the graphics are very average (actually very heavily compressed) and the controlls can feel arkward at times, this game is just a few hours of mindless fun.. it also has replay value as there are 3 difficulties (all are fairly easy) and then for achievements there are some unlockable modes (headshots).

I loved this game.
