Directed by Shinji Mikami, VANQUISH™ is a sci-fi shooter of epic proportions with a fast, fluid and frenetic combat system, and an engaging and immersive storyline. Players take the role of Sam, a government agent kitted out with a futuristic battle suit, in a near future world where nations war over the planet’s remaining energy resources. A versatile fighter with a huge arsenal of weaponry at his disposal, Sam also has an array of martial arts skills that he can use to take down his robot enemies.
The story of VANQUISH™ is set in the near future. Russia and the United States are vying for ownership of the world’s fast-depleting energy resources and the US has constructed a space station in order to harness energy from the sun. Russian forces capture this space station and divert its harvested solar energy into a blast wave that destroys San Francisco, aiming to force the US into a total and unconditional surrender. In response, the US tasks its armed forces with recapturing the space station before the Russians can annihilate their next target – New York.

A bit short but unbelievably good fun whilst you're playing it. Good replay value as well.
Vanquish is a solid game. A first person shooter that is fast paced and set in the future. It is only a single player game, but it is good. My only problem with it was that it gets quite repetitive and because of that I didn't bother finishing it. That said, it does have a fair amount of replay value if you intend to complete all the challenges.
Crazy fast and intense action all the way. Fighting massive robots and tanks. What's not to like.
An excellent action game from the developers of Bayoetta and Madworld. One of the best of 2010. Highly recommended!
