Very good game! I really liked it.
The above is pretty much all there is to know about Bullet Witch. The overall game is impressive despite the ugly reviews roaming around.
Pros:
~ Good story that will keep you interested.
~ Fun magic system. You can use some pretty cool magic such as creating a tornado that eats up everything in its path, or you can call upon a barrage of crows that will distract your foes so that you can take them out easily.
~ Upgradeable guns, magic, and stats. At the end of every stage, you are awarded points that you can use towards upgrading magic, guns, and stats. At the end of the game, you can become somewhat powerful, but I believe you can play through the game without upgrading much.
~ Fun difficulty. Some parts are hard, which others are not. Overall, the game produces enough difficulty that will keep you on your toes, but not so bad that you will become frustrated. ~ Giant enemies. You can fight some cool enemies that will literally shake the ground when you kill them.
~ Cool environment. You can blow up cars, gas stations, you can toss cards, and the overall the physics are really good which makes the game fun to play. ~ Downloadable contents. I don’t have xbox live, but I think I might get it to get some concept missions which extend the story. Also, you can download costumes on live.
~ Awesome locales. You can fight on top of a jumbo airplane at 10000 feet, and then fight in a subway with crazy screamers. I am very pleased with the locations of the game and it makes it a lot fun to play.
Cons:
~ Lack of enemy variety. This isn’t really annoying, but it can get to you that there aren’t many enemies to fight.
~ No costume change. I think you have to download the costumes on xbox live when it becomes available. They’ll probably charge you for it, which is a great marketing idea if it’s true.
~ Lack of AI. Throughout the game, you can dodge a lot by doing absolutely nothing. When an enemy is shooting at you, you can jump left and right and completely dodge everyone of its attack. Also, you can save civilians by killing the enemy that is shooting at them, but you can literally run up besides them and they will do nothing but keep shooting at people who are already on the ground.
~ Shortest game ever! I literally beat this game in 4-5 hours. If I remember correctly, there are only 5-6 stages to go through. The game is very short.
Overall, I am pleased with the game. However, I must admit that like Tomb Raider, Bullet Witch would be doomed without a hot main character. I would recommend this game to anyone who likes action games mixed with a hot main character.
