Game Summary:
Vanquish is one of those games that never got the recognition it deserved. Despite a very warm critical reception, gamers the world over completely ignored the title and it has since been relegated to a hidden gem of the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 library.
Developed by Platinum Games, the studio behind such games as Bayonetta and Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, Vanquish is another example of the exciting, fast-paced, over the top action games the company is known for. With mastermind Shinji Mikami (creator of Resident Evil) at the helm, Vanquish is a game that screams quality from start to finish.
In the not too distant future, overpopulation has made resources scarce. After a group of Russian nationalists successfully overthrow their government, led by a man named Zaitsev, they demolish San Francisco in a nuclear blast in order to force the United States to surrender or else New York will be next. As Sam Gideon, a DARPA operative with a special suit that augments his physical abilities far beyond those of a normal human, it’s up to you and the US Marine Corps to stop Zaitsev.
The story lacks subtlety, but I have to admit I was entertained throughout as plot twists developed. I also couldn’t help but notice the U.S. President’s strong resemblance to Hilary Clinton. Characters are all pretty flat and one-dimensional, but this isn’t a game about political ideals. It’s an action game, and a damn good one.
The main feature of Sam’s suit is the ability to slow down time. This isn’t anything new for video games, but the way its implemented here is fresh. When Sam takes enough damage, the suit kicks in automatically, giving him precious time to take out hostiles and get to cover. You can also activate the slow motion by combining several evasive maneuvers, but the caveat is that in either case the suit will eventually overheat and leave you even more vulnerable.
The game plays primarily like a cover-based shooter. The battles are extremely large scale, with tons of enemies, gunfire, and massive battlefields littered with plenty of convenient walls you can duck behind. Enemy AI is aggressive and accurate, but you have one more advantage - boosting.
