Blood Wake

Does Microsoft?s boat-based shoot-em-up sink or swim?

Blood Wake takes the Twisted Metal formula of vehicular combat, then throws it in the tub to see if it floats. It does?but barely. This is one of those ?look at what we can do with water physics? games, and in that regard, it?s cool?but the standard mission-based gameplay isn?t nearly as deep as the ocean it takes place on. Heavily armored catamarans and speedboats control fine, and the physics model is realistic. And yes, the water?s pretty. However, Blood Wake?s gameplay isn?t compelling or original enough to make it worth a purchase unless you?re looking for a four-player boat combat experience. Charter this vessel for a weekend, but don?t buy it without testing her seaworthiness yourself.
