Is Bulletstorm worth it for single player?

Looking for another shooter. I'm used to COD and Crysis and some others, but don't mind something more creative. I'm not looking for multiplayer though, just something to entertain me while killing time.

Since you can get it for under $8 download at a couple of places, is it worth picking up? Or is there a better shooter for cheap? Basically it's just something to kill some time.

Thanks!

I think so. its fun the whole way through, and it doesnt get repetitive because theyre constantly introducing new enemies, new weapons, and new ways to kill them. I have no real complaints about the game.

If you're willing to wait, I can pretty much guarantee it'll be $5 during Steam's Black Friday sale coming up. And a "hell yes" for your question.

Right now, Steam has it for $20 though Amazon and Gamersgate.com both have the download for less than $8, which is pretty good.

Sounds like it's a killer(pun?) shooter from what I'm hearing though. Probably different than what I'm used to, though I guess it has a small bit of overlap with Crysis(very small)?

It goes on sale on the time, so i suggest waiting for one of those then pick it up then

Well, Steam just changed it's website to it's first set of sales for the holiday season. Bulletstorm is now 50% off, but that is still higher than the other places. So I hope it goes lower on BF or the other sites keep their low price.

Amazon changes it's download prices frequently, sometimes by a couple of dollars, and sometimes by a lot. So I just want to catch it at it's cheapest!

same here

i'd say save your money. i picked it up for dirt cheap but i shouldnt have bothered. its very run of the mill

yeah, it's a solid game

EYE is on sale for $10 for the next 5 days. Its a very solid shoot and very different, hardcore and unhandholding.

Yes! It's really cool, hell, I might install it again soon if you want to co-op. The SP campaign is short but fun plus there are hundreds of moves so there's definetely a decent amount of replay.

It's also unpolished, unoptimized and the interface is awful. A game that complicated should come with a manual, not with some lo-res videos on how to play the game.

It's an so-so game but it's far too praised around here, just because there isn't any hand holding doesn't means it's good.

A good example of a great game with no hand-holding is X3 Terran Conflict, it's complex but the fantastic manual and tutorial missions at the beginning of the game helps a lot (Even though it didn't take me long to understand it).

Unpolished, I'll agree with to a point, but that is in fact a huge part of its quirky charm. UI is outstanding and all game should strive to be as well layed out, informative and efficient. Its the Halflife 2 engine, it runs blazing fast, not sure how you can say at all that its unoptimized.

EYE Divine Cybermancy is GOTY for me easily because it is brazen, different and has pure genious underneath its rough outer layer.

It may be the HL2 engine but it runs very poorly in my rig (It's on my signature), max settings, no AA. The same thing happens with Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines.

And no, the interface is clunky, cluttered and it's not informative at all, hell, I found out how to hack properly from the Steam forums and not from the "tutorials".

You must be thinking of a different game.

yeah ,

it"s much more fun then Rage imo.

Rage has better graphics though.

It was some of the most fun i ever had in a single player game. So yes

As much as I loved X3: Terran Conflict, I felt the tutorial missions and the main campaign left a lot of useful information out. Mission objectives would call for raiding enemy ships, or scanning them, but it wouldn't tell you how to do it. I hope Rebirth fixes this. I can't wait, personally.MythPro1

The manual is required to play it, it's lengthy but it explains everything.

As a bonus it's actually a good read :P.DanielDust

Exactly, it's arguably one of the best manuals I've ever read XD

To me, personally I think Bulletstorm was a good fun game, totally worth it. And by fun, I mean exactly that, it was a fun game throughout. However, if you want to wait till tomorrow, I'm sure EA is going to have a huge sale on it, and I've seen it drop down to as low as $8. Gamerperson33

I won't be buying it until I see the EA Origin store sales when they start tonight. Same with Crysis 2. If those two games could be on sale, I'm set.
