    Sucks. I've played through it. The start-up movie is decent until some slow japanese song kicks in and crappy voice overs are added. Graphics wise, its okay. Controller layout sucks but takes a while to get use to. Alicia "looks stylish" in the few moves that she has. These zombie army guys, floating brains repeat each encounter and each level. There isn't really a direction or Sucks. I've played through it. The start-up movie is decent until some slow japanese song kicks in and crappy voice overs are added. Graphics wise, its okay.

    God, this game sucks. The controls are lousy, the framerate is terrible. The AI is the stupidest I've ever come across, invisible walls everwhere and I have NO idea what's going on in this story.

    I really enjoyed the combination of fast gunplay, unlimited ammo (and no dumb pickups or chests placed about to replenish health or ammo), and magic spells with very different effects. The graphics, with the sense of huge expanse, and the camera perspective, were very appealing as well. Most appealing of all was Alicia, who has to rate as one of the prettiest game heroines around (and I really enjoyed the combination of fast gunplay, unlimited ammo (and no dumb pickups or chests placed about to replenish health or ammo), and magic spells with very different effects.

All in all, a very fun game with much replay value--there are literally dozens of missions for download--that has been unfairly rated by far too many.… Expand

    Strange how a couple of reviewers can rate this game based on the japan version, when the us version is being tweaked and fine tuned to make the game a little better? So i'll cheat as well and give the game a 10 until I see the final product! I like the idea of the game, and I think it should be worth while.... But we will see what happens!

    This game is flawed, but it's still a rather awesome title worthy of owning. There's tons of destruction and lots of cool weapons to use in the process.

    This was one o.f the best games ever. Alicia was freaking hot for a video game character.

    This isn't such a bad game. It's fun to play, looks ok, sounds ok and has some pretty cool set peices. It's no Gears of War but is more than playable and enjoyable. It captures the gothic vibe nicely and has a feel of the filsm The Crow and Underworld about it. Only dead fish go with the flow! Don't be a sheep! Make your own mind up and try this game out.

    Starts of well but graphics are not up to par with next gen systems and character movement is quite linear and boring. The Cartwheel is only cool the 1st 10 times you see it. Plot is kind of blah too.

    Ok, this game is fun for about 5 minutes, then you realize, it's a witch who can't use her, what looks like a broom, gun to fly on, what the hell! I'm a witch who can't fly, that is just bad design.

    I rented this game with my brother and my friend and we took turns enduring it's frustrating gameplay. The concepts in the game are actually rather interesting and the art was decent. I just wish there were more than about 5 kinds of enemies the whole game. Literally more than 90% of the combat was with the same type of enemy behaving in the same exact way.

    I actually find this game surprisingly fun. It's also pretty difficult to review I think.

    On the one hand, it's graphically a bit rough with a slightly choppy framerate, the gameplay is simple, the storyline is fairly simple, the enemies are a bit cheesy.

    On the other, it's actually very fun and captivating, with some eye-catching, challenging and highly enjoyable battles and stages, compelling and engaging level structure despite its simplicity, great supermoves, a memorable protagonist, and is overall a game that I played from start to finish without even planning to (I simply got hooked).

    It's a quality title. I just wish I knew why!!    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Honestly I didn't know what to expect when I started playing this. It wasn't monotony hell though. The story has lots of promise. They could've made a great game, instead you get this trash. The only real break from the monotony of shooting at enemies is the 2 bosses that are available. The problem with this is the difficulty scales a ridiculous amount against them. *kinda spoiler* The first boss fight is on a plane which is very easy to accidentally jump off of, and the second boss takes so long, with no checkpoints mind you, and he has a one hit kill. So if you almost have him dead after a grueling encounter and he lands his AoE one hit kill attack on you you get to start the whole fight over again. *end kinda spoiler* Its just frustration after frustration with no real reward. The game gets stale almost immediately. I would never recommend this to anyone, EVER! I can usually see both sides of an argument, but I cannot see why someone would rate this game higher than a 6.… Expand

    Bulletwitch was a game with high-loads of potential as soon as it stepped its way on the shelf of the game stores, sadly it didn't sell too well, only going above 25.000 units sold the game just didn't make it, the A.I was alright but poor at the same time, Graphics were slightly shabby for the game year when the graphics should have been better, that's what everyone else says, but now itsBulletwitch was a game with high-loads of potential as soon as it stepped its way on the shelf of the game stores, sadly it didn't sell too well, only going above 25.000 units sold the game just didn't make it, the A.I was alright but poor at the same time, Graphics were slightly shabby for the game year when the graphics should have been better, that's what everyone else says, but now its my opinion.

    Bulletwitch was my favorite game when I was about 7 years old when it first came out and always gave me a hard challenge, even on the easiest difficulty, the adventure willing world brought me a good game to play back then, but some of the world design was done slightly poorly, but the game had an Interesting story, as well as Characters, spells and gun-rod designs, the A.I wasn't that bad in my opinion.

    Now, I'm rating this a '7' due to my own Enjoyment and the problems/pro's with this game.    … Expand

    Many would tell you that this game is bad. However, I am here to say that it isn't as bad as everyone says. The overall plot is good, it's the dialog that's terrible. The graphics are great for it's time and the sound effects are amazing. The spells are cool and the gunplay is solid. Though the controls can be clunky, it's usually not a problem.

    Mais que... attendez... ce mauvais goût dans tous les compartiments du jeu, ces graphismes dégueulasses, cette non-jouabilité permanente, ce TPS à la petite semaine... c'est une japoniaiserie ! elle croyait se dissimuler mais on ne me la fait pas. Non, non. De plus, ce non-jeu refuse de s'installer et fait planter le bousin. Une infamie abjecte et la honte du milieu vidéo-ludique.

    This game was made by the developers of Resident Evil Dead aim dragonguard and nier is truly amazing to see what they did on the first try on the Xbox 360 and it is a marvellous experience to play.

    The gameplay is hard but also simple it's weird, but it is really enjoyable to play it while listening to a podcast this is what this gameplay is meant for. The graphics look so good.

    The graphics look so good. Everything is shiny. The grass is shiny the buildings a shiny you can hear Xbox 360 fighting to put all these graphics on the screen. It's f****** amazing.

    The story is video game cheese, it is amazing. You will feel like you're watching a stupid anime Ova from the 80s and 90s. It will be amazingly fun and the voice acting just hits the right toilet.

    The worst part of the game is the final boss fight not really because it's bad but because it takes around 20 minutes of pumping bullets into it and there's no checkpoint so I hope you will survive those 20 minutes.

    I enjoy the quirky Japanese games that are maybe not that good, but I enjoy this as much as I could and it was a lot and I hope you too have a little spot in your heart for quirky Japanese games.    … Expand

    Run and gun. It's a bummer that game is a bit short and repetitive, but overall it's still fun. Alicia is likable character, and her powers and weapons are cool.

    Extremely weird game. Boring, repetitive and unique. If it was released today, people would say it was created by an AI.

    An average third-person action game the leads you by the nose and doesn't give you too many choices to make. You'll spend the bulk of your time battling the same bad guys, killing walnut heads to unlock areas and occasionally battling some pretty impressive bosses.
