Because of this dumb game I will never forget the name Waggleton P. Tallylicker. Thanks a lot Stephen Blum.

esta bueno pero si en vez de perder tiempo en todas las escenas scripteadas de mierda que tiene y los gimmicks poronga se dedicaban a mejorar el combate y ponerle mas cosas era alto juego

This is a very hard game to rate. Very very fun very often but absurdly shallow. Sorta funny story that overstays it's welcome, stupid one dimensional characters, great combat system that gets old very much by the end. Fun for what it is

Had my fill after a couple hours.

Really fun shooter that is a little too long in the tooth and has some rough writing.


EXTREMELY UNDERRATED GAME

Its mechanics are pretty unique and it's pure comedy gold. Creative, engaging and overall a very fun experience. Where's the sequel?!

beneath the snarky, smart-assholery, buried inside of this generic PS3 era campaign there is some pretty on-the-nose but nevertheless knowing commentary about the carelessness of the rogue-ish video game archetype's casual warpath (not only is Grayson, bulletstorm's lead, a pawn for a psychopathic war general in his life before the game, his quest for revenge essentially leads to the destruction of all life he encounters).

but while the game can step up to the line and have its lead character admit his sins, it ultimately falls somewhat short by having supporting characters let him off the hook in the bluntest ways, revealing, unfortunately, the shallow writing propping up wat is mostly an excuse for some creative gameplay and fun video game set-pieces.

the game is maybe the most ps3-ass game i've played since vanquish, which was also a seemingly generic game on the outside, that, too, was hiding some actually pretty fun gameplay that ultimately didn't quite live up to its full potential.

pretty fun overall, i'd say.

Combines the two objective worst types of humor (the swear portmanteau and self-announcing hyper-awareness) into something that's fun for two levels.

An action fps attempt, satirized all it could about shooters of that time and made combat something more meaningful and addictive to the protagonist than alcohol, the writing didn't work for me at any level. Pretty outdated, you are not going to see enemy behaviour comparable to those from devil may cry games in a fps before doom 2016, the kind of enemy bulletstorm makes fun of can only rush or shoot at regular intervals.

This is a goofy shooter with point/combo mechanics similar to the tony hawk games. Your moment to moment concerns will be less about survival and more about whether you should blow an enemy's head off before or after binding them in an explosive chain and kicking them in the testicles. It has come memorable settings as well. Unfortunately the humor did not age well and the game is relatively short, but it's the only game of it's kind.

Hab ich mir Ende Juli '14 geholt. Wusste gar nicht, dass das von den originalen PAINKILLER-Machern ist. Als ich das erfahren habe, wurd's eingesackt. Nach genau anderthalb Monaten bin ich auch endlich mal durch. Konnte das nicht am Stück spielen. Zwar gibt's Licht (einfallsreiche Waffen, die "Kill with Skill"-Geschichte und das damit verbundene Gunplay, welches nicht langweilig wird und eine grafisch nach wie vor ansprechende Präsentation -- nach drei Jahren muss da noch ein Kompliment drin sein), aber mindestens genauso viel Schatten (Missionen bla, Story blabla, Charaktere blablabla). Und ganz schlimm: Dieses Spiel ist laut, gottverdammt LAUT. Überall knallt, brummt oder zischt es, während sich Töne doppeln oder böse übersteuern. Jedes CALL OF DUTY ist ein Scheißdreck dagegen! Fies ist auch, dass BULLETSTORM so viel anders sein wollte als die Konkurrenz, aber letztendlich doch einiges abguckt wie z.B. superschmale Levelschläuche oder superödes Quick-Time-Event-Gedrücke, was man sich gerade im Finale hätte verkneifen können. Ein bisschen an der Grundmechanik zu fummeln reicht nicht aus...

Daumen so mittel. Für meine gelatzten €6,99 geht's klar, viel mehr darf's aber nicht kosten!

Good for burning a few braincells

This game was fucking stupid and I love it.

Seguro que muchos pensaréis ¿Como alguien le puede poner cinco estrellas a este juego? Pues es una pregunta muy fácil de responder, me pilló en un momento en el que a los juegos solamente les pedía que fueran divertidos, porque al fin y al cabo todo trata de esto, que te lo pases bien jugando, y os puedo asegurar que pocas veces me he divertido más que jugando a este juego.

entertaining and satisfying. not trying to be anything more than it is

All you do is kick people into shit all day, a revolution of the FPS genre.

An ABSOLUTE blast to play for every minute. One of the craziest and most creative FPS games I've ever played. What little of the online I got to experience back in the day was also pretty damn cool. Honestly the only thing holding this game back is it's somewhat lack-luster writing and the cliffhanger ending.

This game needs a sequel, but I don't trust Gearbox or Randy.

its like doom but with a woman

Um dos jogos mais underrated que eu conheço.

"Sweeter than teenage poontang."

Bulletstorm is a game that was almost good, but is too held back by the regressive conventions of FPS game design that were still at their zenith at the time of the game's release. If Bulletstorm was planned, developed and released in say, 2017 when devs were looking to games like Nu-Doom for a "classic FPS renaissance" instead of 2011, I think it would have been a much better game.

My friends and I said this would be the next Borderlands. We were fucking idiots


Finished this dumb fun action game. It was cool with an original concept. The story was mostly bullshit but with whitey lines at times. Too much cursing but that's what they were going for. Graphics were great and I mostly enjoyed it. It last 5 minutes too long tough. Anyways, good game and it's a shame it will most likely never get a sequel.

Enjoyed this a lot as a teenager, but probably wouldn't find it quite so endearing going back now. Filled with endless profanity and dumb jokes, but gameplay-wise it's pretty much a DMC FPS.
