Five Word Review

Full-length reviews present an off-putting challenge for me. I labor over word, sentence, and grammatical choices to the point of exhaustion. These five-word reviews are my solace; I hope you apprecia… Read more

Could have been better, could have been worse

A dumb arcade shooter that tries too hard yet falls wide of mark

Bulletstorm is a dumb game. Not saying this is a bad thing, Bulletstorm isn't abominable or anything to that degree. On the contrary, Bulletstorm is one of the few surviving arcade focused shooters: a… Read more

Nice Change for FPS Shooter, But Doesn't Hold Long

Bulletstorm is a dickload of fun.

During the past few years the FPS market has been dominated by one juggernaut franchise, Call of Duty. Ever since Infinity Ward released Call of Duty 4 back in 2007, the franchise has grown to be the… Read more

It's a game about kicking, whipping and shooting

As far as the shooting of men genre of video games go, there are very few of these on the current crop of consoles that do not utilize the aiming down the sights/scope kind of method for shooting all… Read more

For some, not for many.

Gameplay is fun. Don't be misled by my other opinions. There's a good amount of fun to be had in the process of exploration. I don't think that the extensive options for custom play really make the ga… Read more

A perfect game for the 13-year old in me

This game is fun

This lady is in the game. Bulletstorm is a fun game. It's also really pretty. There's a big Godzilla dinosaur you get to fight with a helicopter. That's a pretty NEAT part. I like that you can slide i… Read more

Bulletstorm Review

I’ve been called many things, but “dick-tits” was not a title designated to me before Bulletstorm came around. I’ll admit, I was a little shocked at the audacity of such a direct attack at the hardcor… Read more

Vociferous and vehement in every way

Spitting molten curses at a rate that would certainly make Jerry Sadowitz proud, Bulletstorm crashes into the cosy FPS genre spraying broken glass and mutants aplenty. The entrance is vociferous and v… Read more

Strap in Cock-Face!

Summary: When I first heard of Bulletstorm, I had little idea what to expect. It seemed like Gears of War , with the gameplay mechanics of The Club . Lo and behold, this is almost exactly what it turn… Read more

Putting the GAME back into the FPS

Ever since, we put down that first armed zombie with a pump action shotgun on a remote Martian base overrun by the demonic forces of Hell, it was proven that the act of virtual redemptive violence was… Read more

'After a generic 30-40 minute start, Bulletstorm is a lot of fun'

Just complete, all-out, maniacal fun

Bulletstorm is quite possible the most immature game in recent memory. Yet, I honestly felt compelled to keep playing it. Here is a game that honestly just doesn't give a fuck and just goes for it. Th… Read more

Bromance?

I really loved this game, even tough no normal human should. It's bloody, foul and just a mess of profanities over and over again, and I could not stop playing it. The graphics is nice, tough you kind… Read more

A veritable tempest of projectiles.

I was initially quite skeptical about Bulletstorm, I was intrigued by the concept of Skillshots but my main concern was if it would be varied enough to last me a long time without getting tedious. And… Read more

Kill with skill

Bulletstorm is to modern military first-person shooters what Red Alert is to World War II-strategy games. It feels as much like a parody of the super serious, military-jargon spouting games that rule… Read more

Bringing Duke's Boot Back

The gist of Bulletstorm's plot is revenge. Nothing else to it really so do not come here looking for an engrossing story. Instead, come here to play. Bulletstorm's gameplay mechanics are one of the re… Read more

Kill With Skill...More Like The Longest Dick Joke Ever.

Solid title betrayed by its end game and story

There are lots of good things about Bulletstorm, a modern, gory, vulgar FPS with a beautiful color palette, interesting level design, and a focus on very specific gameplay to boot. I'm sure you're awa… Read more

Bulletstorm Review

With all of the controversy surrounding “Bulletstorm” I expected the game to be extreme over the top profanity all the time with no story; I was wrong. I am really enjoying the game, whether it is the… Read more

On Bulletstorm

Disclaimer: This is not a traditional review, it's more of an investigation. If you comment, I'm especially interested in what you think of the prose, since I'm no native speaker. It might not be appa… Read more

Kick Punch Boom Fart

To say that Bulletstorm isn't for everyone is something that is pretty obvious by now. This game is definitely trying to have as much 'pulp' as possible. With its mix of insane violence and potty mout… Read more

A Ruined Life in 8 Hours

Ok so there's really not a big point in doing another treatment on how good bulletstorm looks, how they made the unreal engine do something different for once, or how the gameplay is addictive and fun… Read more

Gears of War it Ain't...

It may come from the same developers. It may have kinda similar-looking gruff men. You may not be able to jump (Seriously?? What is Epic's aversion to jumping??). But Bulletstorm is definitely a whole… Read more

Let The Bullets Fly

Some first person shooters are slow-paced, realistically driven, and feature tactical gun play. Bulletstorm has none of those elements, but what it lacks it makes up for in over-the-top comical shooti… Read more

Hey! This review ain't gonna read itself!

In a sea of realistic, military and usually very dull looking first person shooters, here comes Bulletstorm trying to inject some fun - and most importantly, color - into the landscape. If you're a fa… Read more
