Vanquish is a stylish, spectacular looking game with great gunplay and some stunning set pieces. Although the game's story and character development pale in comparison to the action, I had a great time with Vanquish from the in-game tutorial all the wa...
Abstrakt: Platinum Games, developers of such titles as MadWorld and Bayonetta, aren't exactly known for their subtlety. Yet somehow, their latest creation, Vanquish, takes yet another step forward into the realm of the ridiculous. Ignoring traditional gameplay...
Some of the most interesting level design and most dynamic firefights you'll ever experience, the environments are epic and the boost slide is awesome
A thin story packed to bursting with cliches, a painful lack of what could have been a spectacular co-op mode
Since the start of its development in 2007, third-person shooter Vanquish has been something of a mystery. Directed by Shinji Mikami (known mainly for the Resident Evil series), the game looks like a Halo or a Gears of War. The good news it that Vanquish...
