While a bit on the short side, I can't deny how much fun it is to play this game. From the frenetic sliding and gunplay, to the sleek art direction, this is a must play for fans of Platinum Games...ah games.
One of the best candiate for the 'Man I wish it got a sequel' mention. Nothing plays like it. A cover-based shooter that pushes you to stay out of cover as much as possible. It was so bold to release during the cover-shooter craze. It is such a shame that Vanquish and Platinum Games did not get the recognition they deserve. This game is both innotivative and brilliant and should have been in the video game zeitgeist during its release for being the shot to the arm the genre and the times needed.
Vanquish is the game I always reference anytime the idea of a game's worth being tied to its length is brought up. Yes, Vanquish is brief, and you can probably roll credits within 4 or 5 hours on a first playthrough, but those are some of the most action-packed and intense hours you'll spend with a game. The pacing is amazing and nothing overstays its welcome. It won't take you long to beat, but give me a game I'd like to play over and over again any day simply because it's that fun.

Ethnic Cleansing
Ethnic CleansingEthnic Cleansing is a first-person shooter video game for Microsoft Windows computers, created by the American White nationalist organization National Alliance (and published by its record label Resistance Records) on January 21, 2002. As part of a "Race War", the player controls a neo-Nazi or a Klansman and is tasked with killing stereotypical African-American, Latino, and Jewish enemies, ending with former Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon. Using the Genesis3D engine, the National Alliance created the game to be provocative and to support their white supremacist message. The game has been controversial, with the Anti-Defamation League taking particular issue; it has been ranked several times as one of the most controversial games ever created. It was planned to be followed by a long line of sequels, but only one, titled White Law, has been released.
