Bulletstorm is a 2011 first person shooter developed by People Can Fly and Epic Games. EA Games published this game for the Xbox 360, Playstation 3 and Microsoft Windows. It was released in February 22.
This game, laced with toilet humor and coming off as obnoxious and crass, emphasizes a sort of boldness and attitude thats been driven into the ground by countless shooters over the last few years. The tagline, "kill with skill" and profanity induced combo names seem hollow. Now although it seems like this in the beginning as you begin to play you realize that this is something special. It has context while still being brash. Bulletstorm is a violently charming popcorn shooter that plays very well with great design.
The premise is ridiculously original. Bulletstorm is set in a space-faring future chock full of pirates and cliches. Telling the story of Grayson Hunt, a former Confederate operative turned outlaw, Grayson has spent his time harassing his former commander and keeping company with his squad, also outlawed, Dead Echo. His chance comes up when a random opportunity arises to strike the Confederacy, Grayson sets his ship on a suicide run and maroons himself as well as his crew on the alien planet Stygia. Its up to him to get off the planet and find revenge and redemption he desperately wants.
Soon Grayson acquires the main weapon of the game, a Leash. This Leash enables Grayson to grab enemies and throw them in the air in slow motion. By combining shots to specific appendages and/or "bathing suit areas" with standing, sliding kicks or various environmental hazards you will soon discover that you get more points than just standard shots.
I would rate this as a 90/100 because the graphics are stunning, gameplay is fun and involving and I personally quite enjoy the multiplayer.
Game!

Enjoyable summary of the story, I thought it was funny, and got me interested in this game. However I'm much more interested in the core gameplay, because it is a game, and I'm really not sure if this is an FPS, or a third person shooter, or a platformer.
ReplyDeleteI like the sounds of this game, I agree with the fact that the game premise is original and the idea of slow motion shots to peoples "bathing suit areas" is hilarious. Keep up the good work
ReplyDeleteI like their commercial when they began with "Tired with the same old boring shooter game".
