It's nice when a game has a clear simple concept, executed well. At it's heart, that's what bulletstorm is. A FPS which focuses on crazy kills and having fun. A bit like a first person gears of war that takes itself even less seriously, bulletstorm puts you through a while fairly short, pretty fun and action packed campaign. The story doesn't matter, it's all about killing enemies in the mos fun ways possible. You can kick enemies and they go flying. You have a leash to pull enemies towards you. Your guns all have a variety of firing modes, some of which are totally crazy too. Best of all, the environment is set up with a bunch of things to help you kill enemies. The main focus of the game is linking all these together to create ever more crazy kills as you work through the campaign or online multiplayer. In many ways it's a breath of fresh air, focusing 100% on fun, and it mostly succeeds. I really enjoy the challenges it gives you, a checklist almost, which encourages you to kill in different ways. At some points though, it does get a bit samey. It's perhaps because the levels all have the same focus. You are either fighting your way through a series or enemies, or holding a room from an enslaught of enemies. This is maybe a weak criticism, as many games are like that, but i did find myself bored at times. With that in mind, i still highly recommend bullet storm. I like to pull it out every now and again and blast through an hour or two in between playing other games. A nice one to have in the collection.
