Expert reviews and ratings

The single-player portion of Bulletstorm certainly makes for a fun and unique shooter experience. While there's still a limited number of ways to entertain the skillshot system, the game didn't seem to get old, at least for me. Concerning the multipla...

Bulletstorm is a fantastic FPS title that can easily go head-to-head with all the established IPs. It’s a visceral, sense-assaulting game that will engage you with its single- and multi-player components....

Although others will get enjoyment out of it, Bulletstorm was clearly made with two demographics in mind – stereotypical fratboys who call each other ‘broseph’ and high-five when they fart, and the evil, foulmouthed creatures of Xbox Live, who have...

Intro: The Plot BulletStorm’s intro story is one that players have seen a dozen times in movie plots, so I was a bit hesitant to really get too far into the game. Within moments of the introduction you find out you’re playing a special op...

If you are one for immature humour, stupid storylines, surprisingly deep characters, or just blowing shit up, Bulletstorm is the game for you. Essentially, Bulletstorm is a slightly more sophisticated Serious Sam with a big-budget campaign slapped on the top for good measure and a surprising...
