Bulletstorm is a first person shooter in which you play as Grayson Hunt, a space pirate, and have to escape from the hostile planet you've just stranded yourself on. Sounds Generic, but trust me when I say it isn't. This game is totally different to any of the other shooters I've played. This is all thanks to the balls to the wall weapons and the skill point system.
So, the Campaign is about 7-9 hours of non-stop carnage. There's only about 30 minutes of the entire game where you don't shoot stuff. The weapons vary from the standard carbine to cannon-ball shooters, shotguns, flail guns and even a drill gun. Each of these weapons has a charged shot which makes it super powerful. For example, the charge shot for the carbine shoots 100 bullets at once, completely annihilating the enemy leaving only a glowing skeleton behind. You also have a 'leash' which can be used to pull your enemies toward vicious environmental hazards or your boot. Once you've kicked an enemy, you can either shoot them or watch them die in all manor of painful traps littered around the levels.
A huge part of the game is the skill point system, the game's tag line is "kill with skill" and this is the basis of the point system. You get rewarded various amounts of points for killing in special ways which can then be spent on new weapons, upgrades and extra ammo - including the brutal 'Charged' ammo. The game explains why you get these points but it's not really important. What is important is the fact that these skill kills are satisfying and fun to perform.
In case you can't already tell, the game is extremely violent. Blood splatters the walls and floors around you and each foe can be dismembered. You can even go so far as evaporating them into a bloody mess. The game also boasts a heavy amount of swearing as well as some crude sex references. But if you're fine with all that stuff then I would definitely recommend this game.
I had a blast playing this game and would recommend it to anyone comfortable with heavy levels of violence and crude profanity. The fact that it's price has been reduced just seals the deal. Do yourself a favour and pick it up.
