Story:Blood Wake is a naval combat video game that was released in 2001 on the Xbox as part of Microsoft's initial wave of Xbox launch titles. The game was developed by Stormfront Studios and published by Microsoft Game Studios. Set in an Asian-themed fictional world, Blood Wake is a story-driven, mission-based high seas action game in which the player controls a series of small fighting vessels. Some reviewers described its gameplay as "Twisted Metal on water," although its mission-based story line differentiated Blood Wake from Twisted Metal's arena-based gameplay.Show more

I remember spending hours upon hours playing this game as a kid. There's really not any other game like this that I know of, guess this type of boat combat never really took off? A shame really, this game is remarkably fun. Quickly swapping between weapons while they're on cooldown to maximize your damage is something I'll never get tired of, and the water physics in this game are incredible. This game deserves a second life, a PC port would be a dream come true.

Played this a lot on Xbox with friends. Water games don't get enough recognition. Physics were phenomenal and water combat was fun. PC port with controller support would be a must buy.
