spoilerwarning!!
Bulletstorm takes place in
the 26th century, where the universe is run by the
Confederation of planets. Star general Sarrano sends his secret black
ops team, the Dead Echo team, led by Grayson Hunt, to do his
dirtywork. Following Sarrano's orders and assassinating those whom
they believe are criminals, Dead Echo kill a man known as Bryce
Novak, but soon discover he was a civilian reporter, documenting
deaths caused by Dead Echo. Grayson and his team realize they have
been duped by Sarrano and desert, becoming space pirates on the run
from Sarrano's forces.
Ten years later,
Grayson drunkenly attacks Sarrano's battlecruiser, the Ulysses, while
near the planet of Stygia. Grayson rams the Ulysses forcing both to
crash land on Stygia. Now the look for a way off the planet while
surviving the local population and the environment of Stygia.
The game is great as long
as you're not easily offended by crass humor. This means that i love
it. It also came out at a good time. There was a lot of very serious
shooters coming out at that time so a silly and fun first person
shooter was great. Voice-acting is also good, not that weird since
it's Steve Blum(Sauron from Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor) and
Jennifer Hale(Female Shepard from Mass Effect) giving their voices.
Even though the humor is
great and the story is decent the real pull for me is the skillshot
system. There is a lot of ways to kill people in this game and you
want to do them all because the points you get from the kills are
used to upgrade weapons and buy ammo. Some examples of kills are
Pricked which you get by flinging an enemy into a cactus and Fast
Food that you get from killing an enemy with a hot dog cart. There
are rewards for every weapon so there is many to do. Another thing
that is really great is your leash. You use it to knock people up in
the air or pull enemies towards you. You also have a powerful kick.
There are some really cool combinations you can get out of this.
The world of Stygia is
also great. It looks really great with beautiful colors. You go
through many different locations and every location looks great and
feels different. This was also great because it came out when a lot
of games where mostly brown and grey. Music and sound is also top
notch. The action makes me feel like I'm in a action-movie in just
the right way.
TL;DR
Great humor. Skillshot
system is fantastic. The world looks great. Great fights, great
weapons. Nice graphics and beautiful colors. I love this game, it's
so much fun. If you like crass humor and killing people in creative
ways this is a good buy for you and since it came out in 2011 you'll
probably get it for a good price. Now we just need a Bulletstorm 2.
My question for you:
Do
you think there is to many serious shooters out there?
Do
you feel like we need more games like this?
Do
you want a Bulletstorm 2?
