I've heard of Bulletstorm long time ago but thanks to PSN, I decided to play it just couple of days ago.

Bulletstorm is nothing but a dumb fun action shooter with good mechanics. I love it.

The primary mechanic in this game is to make your enemies in float in the air slow motion. You can do it in multiple ways: by kicking them, sliding through them or pulling them with your leash.

That's what makes the combat great. You can mix in your slides, kicks and leash and destroy your enemies either with your weapons or the enviroment. My favorite combo was pulling an enemy, sticking a bomb to him, kicking him back to his group and detonating the bomb for the big group kill.

The game also incentivizes you to go for these big comboes and enviromental kills by giving you extra credits when you pull them off. You use these credits to upgrade your weapons and buy extra ammo. If you play the game like COD, you're not gonna earn shit. That's how you make a compelling system. I wish there were more variety in upgrades.

What about the story, dialogue, characters, atmosphere and all that jazz? You'll forget everything about them right after you finish the game. There is really nothing to it. I'm personally not a story guy in action games but I think if Bulletstorm had quality characters and dialogues like Uncharted, it could have been a classic hit. The foundation is superb but they didn't polish the rest of it.

Anyway, it's a badass game with fun mechanics. Action fans should check it out.
