Bulletstorm is an over-the-top first person shooter filled with unique attacks, foul language, vulgar jokes, and burly guys leaping straight out of a male power fantasy. The gameplay is bloody, but the game’s environments are beautiful. Personally, my favorite part is that the protagonist, Grayson Hunt, is voiced by Steven Blum. It’s awesome to put myself in the shoes of someone who has Steven Blum’s voice even if the game obviously wasn’t geared toward my demographic.
I’m only a few hours into Bulletstorm on Xbox 360 and can’t pass final judgment on it yet, but I like it well enough so far. I could live without half the gay jokes, though, and I hope there’s more than one female character in the game. It’s not perfect, but it’s entertaining enough to continue playing through the campaign.
Unfortunately, I’m still struggling with the controls. They just don’t make any sense to me.
Crouch butten! Y U no be B butten? (Stupid reference to “Dot dot dot” with misspelling of “butten”? Check.)
I may be the only person who has trouble with this setup, but it honestly interferes with my gaming. The controls are so clunky that they mess me up during fights.
