      Re: Bulletstorm (PS3/360)

      RPS Hands-on

      The four of us were playing Bulletstorm’s Anarchy multiplayer mode, which is both ferociously ill-named and a functional antidote for anyone who claims Bulletstorm’s skillshots don’t change the game. In Anarchy mode you defeat 20 successive waves of enemies, but each subsequent wave only shows up if you got enough points on the round before. As much as you’re playing to survive, the real goal is to rack up points, and that’s a task that got considerably more interesting the moment my team figured out the secret. You can’t kill anybody by yourself.

      You see, Skill Shot rewards get multiplied if they were the work of more than one person. It’s a science we didn’t quite figure out in our time with the game, but basically if you slide into an enemy, knock them off their feat, then lash them into a massive cactus or something then you’ll get a inadequate handful of points. But if your teammate knocks an enemy off their feet, then you bat them into a cactus, you’ll both get the bonus, meaning your score is doubled. If two of you neatly shred an enemy by pulling him with the lash from two different directions, that’s great. That’s good work. But it’s only half of what you’ll get if all four of you quarter the sucker by lashing him simultaneously.
      The genius of the Skill Shot system is that it inflates every single enemy with the possibility to either reward or demean you, depending on how many points you get. Because the points do matter. In singleplayer they’re what allows you to buy new ammo, unlocks and alternate fire modes, and in multiplayer the points are the point, so to speak. They’re all you’re playing for.

      It’s a clever system. Whether it’ll have enough depth to carry the entire single player story is a question worth asking, but for now I’ll just step in here and say that I don’t think it has to. After playing the first four hours of the game, I’m pleased to report that this is some of the most bombastic and entertaining level design that I’ve ever encountered.
      But there’s more going on here than Captain Swearword’s Big ****in’ Adventure. Bulletstorm’s planet is the single most beautiful location a game’s taken me to since Bioshock dragged me down to Rapture, and the game’s corridor-shooter design is careful not to make it any less believable as the holiday resort you quickly discover that it used to be.

      What’s really interesting is that there are times where this concept of vacationing is also pursued in the level design. Without wanting to give too much away, those first four hours feature not just a train ride, but a water slide and a disco, and it’s all every bit as entertaining as it sounds.

      I guess I should stop here, as this is all stuff I’d rather cover in more detail in a Wot I Think. I’ll just close by saying that prior to my hands-on, I had Bulletstorm down as either a dumb smart game, or a smart dumb game. Since then, I’ve changed my mind. A game which takes its irreverence this seriously, expecting you to co-ordinate your Double Entries and Gang Bangs with military precision? Do you know, I think Bulletstorm might be the smartest most dumbest game the world has ever seen.

        I wish I had money to spend on this game. It just seems like a fun train ride as you go for more and more points. Oh well.

              Yeah, with Killzone 3 out next week can't afford this too. I'm going to add it to my gamefly que and hope I get it next week. I had tons of fun with the demo.

                Even if I could afford this, it's just bad timing, lol. KZ3 in a few days, and then the baseball titles drop in another two weeks.

                If we get a gaming lull at some point, then I'll probably pick this up (after I pick up Dead Space 2 that is).

                  Yup, too many games and not enough time or money. LOL!

                      From the sounds of the box art, it says "Early access", so I'm guessing the Beta will hit hit, say June 1st - June 30th (I have no clue, this is an arbitrary date), and June 1st is when Bulletstorm owners will get in. Maybe June 15th is when the rest of XBL will get in.

                      I really don't know, but the word "early" tells me everyone is getting in.

                        Yup. It typically says "exclusive" otherwise.

                          Though the beta will not be exclusive to people who buy Bulletstorm, the only way to guarantee a spot in the beta is by purchasing Bulletstorm. The beta will be made available to some of the public, but there's no way to know if you'll get a spot in it or not without Bulletstorm. Also, the beta is on the disc (confirmed at E-PIC's message boards) and the only way to unlock it is by using the Bulletstorm disc, like you did with Halo ODST and the beta for Reach. Thus you cannot buy the game, take the code, then sell the game back in the same day.

                              Just rent it later.

                              If I come across a code someone else can have it. Not only do I have 0 intrest in GoW 3 I don't play online so it's entirely useless to me.

                                Exactly what I feel like. Though I likely won't get around to it till later in the year.
