The editors didn't like
Voice acting
Gameplay can get stale
And too short for no multiplayer modes.
A thin story packed to bursting with cliches
A painful lack of what could have been a spectacular coop mode.
Ider that before you decide between a rental or purchase
But you definitely should play it. It is a fantastic game overall that is one of the best action games of the year. Vanquish is highly recommended

Abstract: Classic, fast-paced action that rarely lets up.On the surface Vanquish looks like just another humdrum space shooter featuring a nameless protagonist that will get lost somewhere between the latest military shooter and party game compilation. However, ...
Abstract: Most of Vanquish is completely ridiculous. It's the good kind of the ridiculous though and really I only need to point to one feature that sums it all up. While in cover, hitting the left bumper, Sam Gideon, the dude in the exoskeleton armo...

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 wa...
