THIS GAME REMINDED OF WHY I AM A OLD SCHOOL GAMER!
Talking about the protagonist ... He is a cocky,not so bright, shoot first ask questions later but a good talented soldier/captain. We are also introduced to Ishi Sato,Trishka Novak ,Victor Sarrano , Dr Whit and Rel " Le Pew" Julian as the story progresses.
Game play and story progression (CONTAINS SPOILERS).. Well the game starts off with interrogation of bounty hunter who came to hunt you and your squad mates then the improper disposing of the bounty hunter leads to a chain of explosions and mishaps... which leads to a "Very Bad Call" by the Drunk.. High as hell captain who is blinded both,by Cockyness and Revenge. Captain orders an attack on the large confederate battleship/HQ which ultimately ends in a crash site filled with debris and psychopathic native gang members trying to kill you because the captain charges the ship to the Confederate warship as a kamikaze suicide tactic. Before the chaotic current situation we are shown a flash back explaining why Grayson Hunt and his squad who were former soldiers for the Confederation went rouge and seeks revenge of the Confederate general "Sarrano". I will not go into the story in whole but brief.. so after the crash landing you find out that your squad member Ishi Sato who constantly disproves Graysons some what less smart and bad ass decisions,is badly injured in the crash. The Doc agrees to fix him up and Le Pew,Grayson is sent out to get a powercell which we are introduced to a Confederate elite soldier team called the final echo and obtains one of their standard issue energy leashes which plays a major role in the game.
After obtaining the power cell they return back to the crash site and goes foward with performing surgery on Ishi which dosent go as planed, Le pew ends up commiting suicide killing off buncha Gang members who badly injure him and Doc dies while reviving Ishi. Ishi is revived by being combined with a robort and he is shown to be in a immense pain while fighting off the AI program which keeps trying to take over him through out the game. With the emotional start off we hear a surviving echo team member later known as Trishka (Trishka is a badass chick who knows her way around the gun ;) ) who gives rendezvous point and tell that general Sarano is alive and is in the planet waiting for Confederate ship for evacuation. Grayson and Ishi travels to the given rendezvous point hoping to shed some light on Trishka about the generals dark deeds and get to the General,so they can take revenge in the same time obtaining his ship and geting off the dreadful planet.This is the main plot Trishka joins the team and goes on a adventure filled with destruction,explosion,blood,profanity and monsters.
Game play and the interesting Badass characters are the MAIN STRONG POINT of this game.Players use a sizable arsenal consisting of over-the-top combat moves and large weapons. Bulletstorm also has a variety of "skillshots". The skillshot gameplay system rewards the player for creating and inciting mayhem in the most creative and destructive ways possible, from killing an enemy in midair to pushing an enemy into a carnivorous plant to executing an enemy after shooting him in the testicles. The more unusual the skillshot, the more points players acquire to upgrade their character and unlock weapons. If these creative moves are repeated, the player character can "max out", meaning the character will gain more skillshots and one shot kills, allowing the player to perform even more creative moves and exaggerated skillshots.
Points are used as currency at "dropkits" scattered across the planet, which the player can use to replenish munitions. The dropkits include a gun shop, a skillshot checklist, and gameplay statistics. The player cannot upgrade their weapons, but can equip different guns, purchase ammunition, upgrade the amount of ammunition they can carry, and even purchase special-ammunition "charges". The player can equip up to three weapons, the assault rifle being the default weapon; it is always equipped, and is considered the main prop weapon in cutscenes.
The weapons range from a pistol to a cannon that shoots two grenades connected by chain that wrap around an enemy or piece of environment before detonating. Each weapon has an "alternate fire" mode which uses charges; for example, the assault rifle's alternate fire is a single blast of bullets that destroy almost everything in its path. A device the player carries for most of the game is the "energy leash", a rope of energy projected from a device on his left hand. The leash allows him to pull enemies towards him, activate certain devices and traps, and slam down a ball of energy that launches all nearby enemies into the air. The player can also kick enemies and run and slide into them. Usually, when an enemy is launched into the air by the player, their descent is slowed down by the leash's energy when grappled or by the gravity boot when kicked. This allows the player to pull an enemy into kicking range with the leash, aim at something dangerous, and kick.
Conclusion is ... Multilayer is somewhat limited and buggy. Don't have much to say about it. If your a old school gamer who was brought up in a childhood with Doom,Duke Nukem 3d etc you will definitely love the Single Player experience this game delivers! Even if you are a new gamer, there aint much to hate about this! This fast paced action game manages to crawl under deep ur skin for any 1, making a VERY ENJOYABLE GAME! Which I hope will lead to a successful title and be turned into a franchise with upcoming possible sequels. To me one of the Best of 2011 :) - Peace! Hope you take my review into consideration and try this Masterpiece out! Like my friend said "Must I say more how awsome and badass the game is,the Game studio's name is "People can fly" " x)
