    Bulletstorm

    Game » consists of 21 releases. Released Feb 22, 2011

    Stylish, ludicrous kills net big points in this ridiculously over-the-top first-person shooter.

    Small review from a regular gamer!

     Just bought it today. :3

    It's a kick-ass game! I bought it along side Marvel vs. Capcom 3 and the initial idea was to play 1 level of Bulletstorm and then play the other game; I went to the store just for Capcom v Marvel.

    3 Acts later and I haven't played Marvel yet.

    It's really fun! The shooting mechanics are spot on and the guns don't feel 'weak' against enemies, meaning you don't have to empty an entire clip to down an enemy. I'm looking at you Timeshift!

    There's a XP like system where each enemy you kill gives you points, and with those points you can buy ammo/upgrades/new weapons. Now the fun part is there are LOTS of different ways to kill enemies and as you 'do' them, you'll get bonus points.

    Vertigo - Kick someone off a high ledge.
    Afterburner - Kill someone while they are burning.
    X-Ray - Kill more than 3 enemies with a single super-shop.

    The list goes on, there's even one they give you if you lasso, headshot, then kick an enemy into a spike wall in a single combo. Awesome!

    The characters are

    really

    likeable and the dialogue is funny. "You scared the dick off me." /Clint Eastwood voice.

    It oozes testosterone, has awesome graphics, even better controls and a WIDE variety of different locales.

    I feel happy with my purchase.

    I've been playing it all day. All I expected it to be, hell, even more.

    Nope - I almost never play multiplayer on my 360 because I refuse to pay for Live. :)

    Damn son. I like anybody that says something like that.

    I'll stop hating. I already know it's not for me.

    That's ridiculous. Owning a 360 and refusing to get live. What's the point?

    Played the demo for 5 minutes, grunted, and quit the game.

    @Marcsman: Well you see, to play on Live you need fast internet. And fast internet in Bolivia costs a lot of money - around 60$ a month - for internet. It's not worth it to me as an individual.
     
    But seriously guys, buy this game, it's really fun. :) And the first mission is very, how can I put it, boner inducing. I'm talking Fifth Element meets Leon.

    I'll pick it up when Amazon has their $40 sale for it in 2-3 weeks, then I can use the $20 credit I got from Killzone 3 on it and only end up paying $20.

    @papuccino1:
    So I guess the same applies for the PS3 in Bolivia? But if you had a PS3 considering it's online is free. would it be worth it then? 
    Wow playing DC: Online would cost a fortune in your country. 
    But at least you guys have great coffee.

    @Marcsman: Still wouldn't be worth it because I would still need to pay 50$ a month for a download speed of 46kilobytes per second.
