    Это одна из первых игр моего детства. И, несмотря на возраст и недостатки, о которых я сейчас узнаю от других, она не кажется мне плохой

    Jedyny tak świeży fps ostatnich lat. To nie jest jeden z tych generycznych, militarnych strzelanek. To gra z własnym pomysłem na siebie, dużą dozą humoru oraz bardzo dobrą wizją artystyczną. W czasach wielkich i powtarzalnych gier jak assasins creed, Bulletstorm stanowi piękną odskocznie. Krótki, niesamowicie dynamiczny tytuł, nastawiony na kreatywność a do tego ogromnie satysfakcjonujący.Jedyny tak świeży fps ostatnich lat.

    I love the graphic violence and the physics of this game very reminiscent of gears of war, even the mechanics also reminds me a lot of mad max

    Bulletstorm's frantic and exhilarating combat shine amidst its problematically contrasting narrative and a mediocre multiplayer mode.

    Лучший Аркадный шутер прошлого десятилетия. Который лично для меня произвел революцию,
    и знаете из за чего хлыст и пушки вот эти два момента делают эту игру одной из лучших в жанре.

    Весёлая игра моего детства мы ещё с друзьями в неё играли. И вот решил пере пройти клёвая игра но конечно управление на пк так себе. Оружия небольшое количество но все они по своему уникальны.

    Наверное лучшая турбо-шутерная игра для веселых вечеров, одна из самых запоминающихся в моей жизни. Я очень рад что прошел ее несколько раз. Драйв, жестокость, погони - обалденная игрушка!

    People Can Fly knows how to made fun and enjoyable FPS game :)
    And in this case it is no different.
    Outstanding gameplay, with lot of new mechanics comparing to standard FPS game (like CoD).
    Even today is still enjoyable game :)

    That is what for there are action-shooters. No need in a deep story or well developed characters. There is just action, action and action. And its really awesome and enjoyable. Highly recommend.

When I started the game, I was asked to login to GFWL (I already have a profile I have used for other games). I logged in, and GFWL downloaded an update that required me to restart the game. Restarted, and was able to login and play without issue.

    On to the review:
    Bulletstorm is a superb shooter, with some unique mechanics, SUPER colorful environments and great weapons. I would even say that it is worth the asking price, except the multiplayer is barely populated, making the single-player campaign the primary draw.
    Installed size on hard drive: 7 GB

    + The kick and slide mechanics are first rate, and easy to execute. You'll be sliding around in no time.
    + The "leash" mechanic is also fun, though Red Faction Armageddon does the same thing better and with more variety
    + The assortment of weapons is great, each requiring different methods to execute kills. My favorite was the homing sniper rifle; fire a shot, and you control the bullet with the mouse, guiding it around cover to kill enemies!
    + The level design is good if linear. Don't be expecting alternate routes to go anywhere - there aren't any - but the path twists and turns enough so that directionality becomes confused.
    + Though there are plenty of check-points, the game can be very hard if you want it to be.
    + Plenty of variety in the enemies you fight, with lots of mini-bosses even on Normal difficulty.
    + The graphics are COLORFUL. The opening levels happen aboard a ship, and feel confined, but once you get out into the countryside and city, the vibrant color will hit you in the face. Detail and design of the graphics is great too. Some of the enviroments reminded me of a sun-lit Bioshock.
    + Bulletstorm is easy on system resources, making this game playable on a lot of machines. I never saw more than 500MB of video memory used; most of the time it hovered around 250-375MB
    + People probably don't buy shooters for the voice-acting, but it is very good, especially the always-excellent Jennifer Hale.
    + The single-player story embraces an entire genre of B-movie action stereotypes. Everyone fully commits, and the game succeeds well at it.

    - Few people in multiplayer. Get some friends together, and I'm told it will still work. But don't purchase Bulletstorm thinking you'll be able to join random online matches. I wasn't able to find any.
    - With the multiplayer a dead end, the single-player campaign needs to carry the game's appeal. And it is very appealing, but it is too short. My first play-through clocked in at 8.9 hours. Replayability appeal relies on upping the difficulty and "restricting" yourself to specific weapons.
    - No manual save system. The entire game is saved via checkpoints.
    - The final boss is a series of QuickTime events. There are several non-QTE bosses in the game; I guess this is just how the developers wanted the game to end.

    Not everyone has the GFWL issue; I suppose I was one of the lucky ones. Quick, slick, and deft, I highly recommend Bulletstorm.    … Expand

    2/25/2011: This game is what happens when you take a foul-mouthed child, an angry, drunken biker and a gun nut and have them write an action movie. It's a laugh and a half.

Still, it's the best $60 I've ever spent. If it ever drops in price it will become the ultimate shooter. It doesn't even need competitive multiplayer, because what it has is so dang awesome. If you've got the money, then bite into "Captain Curseword's Big F***ing Adventure."… Expand

    I've played Bulletstorm twice and enjoyed it much more the second time.

    As a story, Bulletstorm feels like a frantic futuristic action movie, with ups and downs, twists and turns, and memorable sequences (ah ! the gigantic wheel !) and most of all : an excellent pacing.

    I think the pleasure I got from playing the game mostly comes from its pacing and the wild swings between tension and release, almost like a roller-coaster in a fun fair !

    It's a good thing that People Can Fly have now a clear path to make Bulletstorm 2 !    … Expand

    A very fun light hearted FPS. Not one of those serious military shooters so common nowadays but one in the vein of Serious Sam or Painkiller. Well worth your time.

    Bulletstorm in solidly in my top 10 favorite games of all time. While it may have a cliche story, and not much character development at the begining, over the couse of the game, you realize how deep the characters are. There are amazing visuals, and some of the best gameplay ever. Bulletstorm was also the first blind playthrough I did for youtube.

    You can do some Combo with many weapons (included a whip) and it's what we should expect from this enjoyable game.

    It's just perfect. Visuals are booming and fun, tie that in with stellar controls and unique gameplay and you have a hit. Too bad sales were only mediocre, so a second Bulletstorm might never come.

    While not a game that would alter the flow of history, Bulletstorm proved to be very pleasant and an extremely aberrant surprise not lacking the ability of self-irony. [Mar 2011]

    If you are looking for a simple and entertaining shooter, that's not a Call of Duty clone, which offers lots of humour and a great story, Bulletstorm could be for you.
