Wanted Dead Review (Hack and Pass?)
12Wanted: Dead is a love letter to the PlayStation 2 era of action games with over the top battles, mechs, and characters that are beyond absurd. Unfortunately, Wanted: Dead doesn’t leave behind some of the major issues of the sixth generation of gaming as you are constantly being plagued by invisible walls, unavoidable deaths, frame rate stutters and monotonous combat.
The attempt to create a game so bizarre in today’s era where higher budget games play it safe is commendable. Wanted: Dead has the foundations of something that could have been quite good and with a little more development time and some gameplay changes, it could have been a cult classic. Retro slasher fans might have an excellent time with this but gamers who a looking for a more modern and polished take that will move the genre forward will be left Wanting: More.
