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.

Product Description
Based on Universal Pictures’ Wanted, the video game continues the story of Wesley Gibson, picking up the action where the film left off to create an entirely new chapter exploring both Wesley’s journey to becoming an elite assassin and The Fraternity. You will take on the role of Wesley or his father Cross and confront all new enemies, including the French chapter of the Fraternity, a group that is fanatical about upholding the code of the Loom of Fate. Wanted: Weapons of Fate will take combat to the next level with iconic moves such as “Curving Bullets” and “Assassin Time” drawn directly from the film, as well as an innovative, multi-layered cover mechanic.

What if no one ever told you that bullets fly straight…what would you do?,

Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

If you’ve seen the movie and/or read the comics, then you have the general idea of what Wanted is. I’ll go ahead and warn you of spoilers right now just in case you haven’t seen it. Wesley Gibson was an ordinary guy leading a fairly mediocre life until he found out that his father was an assassin, and he had just been killed. To exact revenge, he joined a group called the Fraternity: an elite group of assassins who carry out assignments given by the “Loom Of Fate.” He tracked and killed the man he believed to have killed his father, only to find out that he was his father. Betrayed by the Fraternity, he wiped it out. That was where the film ended. In the game, Wesley is now being pursued by the Paris Fraternity, who have shown much interest in him since the day he was born. However, instead of a pathetic weakling that he was before, he is now a highly trained killer who is ready to fight. Now most of us believe that movie-based games don’t always turn out good especially since most of them turn out to be rushed product usually put out to coincide with the theatrical releases in a weak attempt to try and make money. Wanted: Weapons Of Fate is one exception as the developers took their time to take inspiration from both the film and comics, and other games like Gears Of War and Max Payne. You only use one or two guns in each level as you never pick up any additional weapons, but they are effective in completing your objectives. You can run to cover like in Gears Of War and the Quantum of Solace game, and flank enemies when needed. Killing enemies gives you adrenaline which you’ll need to perform special moves like curving bullets, and “assassin’s vision,” otherwise known as bullet time. Gameplay can be short if you stream through the game, but repeated play is indeed necessary as you’ll be able to unlock new characters, game modes, concept art, and more. It might all get repetitive at first, but if you’ve played the demo and enjoyed it, this is worth buying.
