Bulletstorm (2011) Ten years after discovering he and his black ops Dead Echo team were being duped into assassinating civilians by General Sarrano, Grayson Hunt comes across Sarrano’s battlecruiser, the Ulysses, and decides, drunk on alcohol and revenge, to ram him out of the sky. They both crashland on the planet Stygia where Grayson is going to have to sober up, really quickly. 9/10 It’s just fun, especially with the swears switched off. Things simply aren’t as much fun if your game is overbearingly effing and jeffing at you. Major highlight of the campaign is the model city level (Worst family fun vacation ever) and fighting with Waggleton P. Tallylicker. The single-player campaign is as good and longer and better paced than most contemporary games with a simple story (get from A to B) clearly told and the core shooting action is frenetic, accurate, imaginative, varied, awesome and fun, fun, fun. This game contains optional sexual swear words, frequent bad language and optional gory and graphic violence, strong, highly fantasised violence. Classified 18 by BBFC. Suitable only for persons of 18 years and over. Links Eurogamer Head-to-Head: 360 Eurogamer Head-to-Head: PC Lens of Truth Head-to-Head: 360
