[8.5/10] a Solid FPS with a brand new idea that make this game both unique and fun.
* Audio - 85/100
Commendable voice-acting for the most part, although on the odd occasion it felt a little forced, as well as an appropriate rocky soundtrack. Thankfully the whole over-the-top nature of the dialogue doesn't outstay its welcome and compliments the game's tone superbly.
* Visuals - 85/100
Aside from the few texture loading issues and some anti-aliasing problems, People Can Fly has created a vibrant world with plenty of color, variety and life. And Gory blood.
* Gameplay - 90/100
Leash, boot and shoot. It's as simple as that, but with 131 different skill-shots, there is the depth for more skillful players to really shine with those scores. Was I worried that a shooter that doesn't come with competitive multiplayer wouldn't have any longevity? Sure. Would Bulletstorm competitive multiplayer work anyway? Probably not. Is the campaign, the Anarchy mode and Echoes mode enough to keep you playing for more than a weekend? Definitely… I spent 3 hours on the first Echo arena alone! The loading screens in Echoes hold it back ever so slightly though.
* Final Verdict = 85/100
In attempting to mix up the genre, People Can Fly and Epic have created a shooter that is worthy of anyone's praise. How much you get out of Bulletstorm is limited only by your creativity and those people who are quick-thinking and methodical will certainly get the most out of it. With a solid campaign, an interesting co-op multiplayer mode and the never-ending Echoes mode, there's plenty of life in this beast to keep you knee-deep in until you think you are one.
