Bulletstorm: Singing in the Rain

Most games out there now have found that if you have a great story and at least mediocre gameplay that the game will succeed. However, gone are the games that are extremely fun to play that have no real story at all. One such game has come back to videogame ring ready to whoop some a**, and this game is Bulletstorm.

Now don't get me wrong, I believe that videogames are the best method of storytelling and a good story is a major part of a game. I have just finished the campaign of Bulletstorm and I thoroughly enjoyed the whole thing. It was unrealistic, over the top, extremely vulgar, humorous, and a blast to play.

The story on the game, as suspected, really isn't that good. Just a bunch of recycled stuff from other games such as: being used to unknowingly kill innocents, want revenge, character sees his way, yada yada yada. The best part of this game is just it's gameplay. The way you're graded on how awesome you kill someone is a very cool idea. The idea has been in games before, but it's never really been so blatantly put in the game for the success of the character. The game features some good gun options, with each having their unique uprade. This is done well, the only problem is that mostly youll find two or three different guns are made the most useful, and will primarily use them.

The characters in the game aren't really that good except for protagonist Grayson Hunt. He has good character development throughout the game. He is definitally the most humorous in the game as his jokes are actually funny, where as the general is very much sometimes just way too much. ****SPOILER**** The funniest part of the game is when Grayson takes control of a robotic monster and lays waist to the opposition in front of him cracking joke after joke. The best of which would include a little song he makes up about his new best robot pal, and after the robots demise he states he had named him "Waggleton P. Tallylicker" but never got to tell him as he choked back a tear.

Another plus for this game is if you are the type of person that loves to get every achievemnt or trophy in the game, then this is a game for you. Unlike most games when you beat the campaign the majority of achievements are already given to you, this game makes you actually earn your achievemnts. Instead of giving you a trophy for beating a level it'll gibe you a trophy for what you did in the level, if you earned it. This game is what Duke Nukem Forever should have been, but that's a totally different story. This game was soo fun to play and i highly suggest it for anyone who is just kind of looking for some games to get them through to the next big release.

If you can look past the mediocre story like I did you'll find a riot of game, that will make you realize killing mutatated gangs on a remote planet could never be so much fun.
