"Brilliant"
This game is brilliant best action game this year, action is overwhelmingly
high sometimes, intense story line and plot voice acting is abit cheesey you
will here lines from films for example “come on you maggots you wanna live
forever” from Starship Troopers 1.
you definatly need this in your collection
"FULL ON!!!!"
I quite like 3rd person shooting games, my personal favorite is infamous! although the graphics is not as amazing but who cares about the graphics!! if the game is good it is simply gonna be good!!! it is action packed, it is fast moving, and it is actually more strategic than I first thought it would be, but to sum it up, it is FULL ON..... <(^_____^)>
"Hard core"
Quite possibly the most fast pace action packed intense game I've ever played. Really gets the adrenalin pumping! Not for the light hearted… Though it's quite easy to pick up. Great addition to the collection!
"Well Worth the Price."
I love Platinum Games, Vanquished is definetly a game to play if you like fast paced and crazy action games.
Difficult to Master on the Harder Difficulty but still enjoyable.

Review by IGN
"…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 way to the ending credits. Even though Mikami's latest
creation is difficult at times, players looking for a highly entertaining
shooter should look no further. Vanquish will keep you on the edge of your
multi-thruster booster seat.
IGN RATINGS FOR VANQUISH (PS3)
7.0 Presentation
Vanquish has an impressive level of polish. The story and character development,
however, aren't engaging.
9.0 Graphics
Vanquish is a chaotic, detailed spectacle of bullets and booster rockets.
Organic sections are less impressive than the inorganic settings, but overall
this game looks awesome.
8.5 Sound
The music in Vanquish is a fitting electronic affair. There are a surprising
number of language tracks here, including Japanese, French and Italian, along
with solid English performances.
8.5 Gameplay
Enjoyable gunplay mixed with weapon power-ups, arcade-style scoring and an
insanely fast boosting mechanic to traverse levels in a flash. Marvelous action
set pieces.
7.5 Lasting Appeal
The campaign will only take six to seven hours to complete. Fortunately there
are challenge stages to fight waves of enemies in a focused battle scenario, but
Vanquish could have lasted a bit longer.
8.5
OVERALL
Great

Although shorter than the comparable Bayonetta, Vanquish has a surprisingly high level of replayability for a game of its type. With difficulty levels ranging from the very relaxed ‘Casual Automatic’ to the punishing ‘God Hard’, Vanquish caters for players with a range of skill levels and interests.
Unlike many games where increasing the difficulty just makes the game more of a grind, players are forced to use more of the game's features as the game becomes harder – it's not just about firing more bullets =)
Simply one of the most enjoyable games I've played this year.
