Like everything involving Capcom and Platinum, Vanquish has a funny history behind it. Though stated as being developed by Platinum, Vanquish was actually created by Shinji MIkami, director of Resident Evil 4, with a small team under Platinum. Though you might not see it, much of Vanquish is an evolution of Mikami's work on 4.
Vanquish is the closest a third-person shooter has gotten to a character-action game and does it succeed. It has its pitfalls of course like a poor story and at times boring enemy design, but absolutely nothing beats the adrenaline you get from smoking a cigarette in cover before sliding across the battlefield with such speed enemies don't even see you coming. And honestly? Sam Gideon's cocky wit is enough to challenge Dante.
