Introduction: Boats with guns is a cool concept, and Bloodwake from Stormfront and Microsoft do their best to pull of this aqua mad max styled game.
Lowdown:After being flooded with commercials for this game that was published by the massive Microsoft Studios, I wanted this game to be a little more than what it was. Bloodwake the water blasting action game is quite entertaining if you enjoy this type of arcadish shallow gameplay. Aside from the gameplay the physics of the water along with the different boat types is great. This game only received a lower score because its not my bag of bolts. I think Blood Wake would of work better in a arcade then a console game. Never less this is the first run of Xbox games, and they can only get better from here on.
I can't recommend purchasing Bloodwake right off the bat, you would be better to rent it and see how you like it.
"Rent it first and check it out" Gameplay: 6, Graphics/Sound: 4, Innovation: 4, Mojo: 6. Final: 5
