Bullet Witch golden

Atari's Xbox 360 shooter off to the factory, downloadable content plans detailed.

167 Comments

Between Gears of War, Lost Planet, Crackdown, Saints Row, and more, Xbox 360 owners already have a wealth of third-person shooters to choose from. However, none of those games is set in the near future with a witch who casts spells and carries a gun bigger than she is. Atari is ready to rectify the situation. The financially troubled publisher today announced that Bullet Witch has gone gold and will be available in North American stores by the end of the month.

While Bullet Witch has already been released in Japan, Atari has made a number of tweaks to the game for the North American and European releases. The publisher said it has addressed issues with the camera placement during battles and improved the enemy artificial intelligence, among other things. A series of five downloadable content packs will also be made available on the Xbox Live Marketplace, each one including a new costume and "revised levels."

Bullet Witch was originally developed by Cavia (Drakengard, Beat Down) and will retail for $49.99 when it's released February 27. For more on the game, check out GameSpot's previous coverage.

Omg, this game looks awful. I was bored just watching the two minute gameplay video. Yawn-o-rama!

diablobasher: I agree that action games in general have gotten shorter lately, but there is no way that you got through Dead Rising in one or two sessions unless you bypassed large portions of the game. Gears, Lost Planet, and Prey are all rather short, though. GRAW and especially R6:Vegas are longer and well worth it if you like military games.

All videos I've seen make the graphics and camera kinda wonky. I'm hoping that they fixed the control and camera issues that Famitsu mentioned in their reviews. Otherwise, looks like good pick-up-and-play fun.

Getting kinda sick of nice looking yet incredibly short action games. I mean yeah, they're awesome, but seriously, every 360 game i've bought so far i have finished either that night, or the next morning, and yes, i do have college everydau and i work saturday and sunday. Gears, Prey, Dead Rising, Lost Planet, Condemned, i need to buy that RPG thing, Enchanted Arms, maybe that will take a little longer to get through, or maybe R6:V or GRAW. Havn't finished PD:Z though, can't be bothered to play it i don't really like it.

Other than fulfilling my gun-toting-anime-supermodel fantasies, this game looks like ass.

I'll definitely need to try a demo or at least read several reviews before picking this one up. It's been curiously below the radar.
