    A correct remastered edition with some interesting but not significant additions. It is an especially good opportunity for those who want to discover a great shooter that deserved more recognition in the past generation, but with the technical advantages of the present one.

    Action-packed shooter from 2011 with improved graphics and some new features.

    The game hasn’t aged almost at all (especially that its visuals were refreshed) and is still wickedly fun, but charging almost full price for it is absurd. [06/2017, p.44]

    When it's at half price or less thanks to a Steam sale, grab it. [Issue#262, p.64]

    Bulletstorm: Full Clip Edition is a roller coaster ride of violence that delivers gameplay that's just as entertaining as it was in its original release in 2011. While it may not have enough discrepancy from the original to justify a repurchase, as far as remasters go, Bulletstorm: Full Clip Edition should serve as an example for how to revitalize an older game.

    A great-looking remaster of a still fun, ridiculously over-the-top shooter from last generation that pokes fun at the genre while introducing its own distinctively violent, melee-heavy playstyle. On the other hand, it’s almost completely devoid of new content, which makes it less attractive for returning fans who were hoping for anything more than a facelift.

    Bulletstorm is still a great, addictive shooter but the Full Clip Edition doesn't offer very much for the price.

    If I were to treat Bulletstorm: Full Clip Edition as a completely new game I'd be really happy, and the final rating would be pretty high. But when looking at Full Clip Edition as a remaster without taking the game's quality into view, it looks like a classic money grab with one redeeming feature - no more Games for Windows. So the final rating should be placed somewhere between these two opinions.

    If you’ve got the DOOM reboot then I heartily recommend you just go and play its Arcade Mode instead. This was added as a free update back in October last year, and it’s everything you want from a score-attack shooter and then some. Failing that, and if you’ve never played Bulletstorm before, then it’s worth a play-through should you spot it at a deep discount further down the line. $5-$10 should do the trick in the current market.

    Bulletstorm's a very fun, very stupid game—I’m just not sure about paying $50 for it a second time. Especially because it’s not the most extensive remaster I’ve seen.
  2. Bulletstorm is lots of silly fun, and deserved to do better in 2011. It’s still lots of silly fun, but it’s hard to quite get as behind the desire for it to do well when it’s being released at full price with very little new put in.

    Bullet storm Full Clip Edition
    Pacing Done Right

    Bullet storm Full Clip Edition
    Pacing Done Right
    Bullet storm Full Clip Edition is a remaster…
    This is for people that missed the game last generation
    I was one of those people and I’m so happy I finally had a chance to play…
    Bulletstorms 6 hour campaign is one of the best paced first person shooter campaigns I’ve ever played through…
    Here you play as Grayson Hunt who goes rogue after learning he’s been killing innocent people…
    And throughout the journey you’re accompanied by different characters, but primarily your accompanied by Ishi, who is now half ai half human which leads to interesting scenarios in the story…
    You’re only mission is to get off of the planet.. And doing so the only way you know how...
    With guns…
    This campaign is a blast and the dialog and storytelling is lighthearted comedic relief in the style of borderlands…
    you have a leash that you can use to pull enemies into you or into spikes in the environment, you can kick them away and shoot them as they go slow mo in the air…
    And killing enemies in all of these different ways gives you more skill points which are spent on both upgrading your weapons you unlock throughout the campaign as well as for buying ammo itself…
    Enemies do drop ammo and there are occasional ammo crates.. but you’ll most likely be refilling your gun with bought ammo…
    And you do run out fairly fast, thankfully you are able to carry 3 weapons at once and the game is very generous with its skill points, so you never feel desperate…
    Each weapon also has a charged attack just in case you do run out of ammo and don’t want to switch to a new weapon right away or of course use them on the mini boss enemies you run into…
    But the delivery of this campaign is brilliant…
    Its fast paced, varied, and never overwhelms you...
    it isn’t just enemies around every corner...
    it gives you downtime of crawling through tights spaces or climbing across gaps…
    of listening to the banter between you and the characters you meet..
    This spacing allows enemy encounters to be fun instead of a nuisance…
    My only complaint with this game at all is the fact that your squad is practically useless..
    There’s an annoying enemy for example that you can only do damage by shooting its back… and he of course has a magnet in him that follows you, never pays attention to your squad members… and they’ll just stare at him instead of shoot his back..
    It’s frustrating and does hurt the flow of the gameplay a bit…
    And enemies feel a little too bullet spongy...
    I hated using the assault rifle here even though in shooters that’s my favorite weapon type…
    Enemies take like 2 full clips to kill.. which had me ignoring that weapon for most of the game and just sticking to heavy damage weapons like the shotgun…
    And the final annoyance.. The sniper rifle... you have to steer the bullet in air... no thanks.
    After you complete the campaign you can play again with all guns unlocked and equipped from the start so you aren’t stuck with just 3, and there’s also an echo mode where you can chase high scores and a multiplayer mode…
    Which is dead… during launch week.. So yeah… good luck.
    This is basically a survive as long as you can with a group of up to 4 players. Killing waves of enemies as they come at you...
    And when I say the mode is dead... I literally couldn’t find anyone… so I played by myself…
    Thankfully Bulleststorm is worth picking up on its own for its campaign...
    On sale though…
    Not right now
    I give Bullet storm Full Clip Edition
    an 8/10
