My god....a freakin' 10 out of 10.

Sweet, it even got a 9 from Eurogamer.

Other sites aren't going that high with the score but the reviews are looking pretty good. It's at 88 on Metacrtitic right now.

A very positive review on Rock, Paper, Shotgun

9 on Eurogamer

9 on Destructoid

B- on 1UP

8 on IGN (they claim the campaign lasts 5.5 hours, RPS says it lasts 9 hours...)

Looks good, but then i rembered it forces you to use windows live so i will pass.

I can't buy that review. I mean, it sounds just like a fighting game? And comparing it as as evolutionary as HL2? Crysis was a huge step in improvisation, which is exactly what this review is complimenting the game on and yet its not referenced. Having combo options does not make it strategic. Even Cliffy would have a hard time suggesting that the game has emotional hooks. What do I know though? I'm just going off the footage. biggest_loser

Combos make the game strategic, but it's hard to explain to those that haven't played it. There's no other FPS that makes you think so hard about how you're going to kill.

Take it with a large pinch of salt.

I did. Bulletstorm's demo made me think a lot more, since every enemy is valuable and you must exploit him for maximum points. Reading the situation and having to make split second decisions makes it far more entertaining than it has any right to be. It's like Painkiller, except that you shouldn't simply massacre the enemies. You must play with them, manipulate them and learn how to set traps in a matter of seconds. Plus the scoring system forces you to use different tactics, repeating combos makes you lose points.

Game looks pretty bad

When the hell did they announce that campaign co-op was dropped? That was really the only reason I was interested in this game. The multiplayer component as it is now sounds quite dull.

But I'm pretty sure it was never announced it has a co-op campaign.

Just goes to show that I should definitely not listen to reviewers.

This game is so good. I'm already seeing near infinite replay value too. I'll post screens later.

I bought it. I hope I don't hate myself becuase of it.

Actually I did. Lol, now I wonder if work on Bulletstorm started before those guys left PCF to make Necrovision, since there are some obvious similarities. But you can get through Necrovision wihout combos, while in Bulletstorm you'd be out of ammo and weapons.

Looks good, but then i rembered it forces you to use windows live so i will pass.

Same here, i hate GFW. I made mistake and bought Dirt2, had to make account there :/

I don't like GFWL either, but we have no choice. Batman Arkham Asylum used GFWL too but I had no issues. I just bought Bulletstorm. I'm downloading it now. Should be fun, I hope.Elann2008

Only Kozzy can convince me to buy this game. With the way he feels about it right now, I don't think I'll ever get to play it. :cry: Elann2008

I have only tried the demo on the consoles and I was not very impressed. But then again there are a good number of games that I didnt enjoy the demo for that I liked the full game alot in the end.

I will give this game a shot on pc sometime soon, just not right off the bat after my experience with the demo. Just seems like something I would get bored of rather fast, but only time will tell, I could end up lovign it for all I know :P
