Bulletstorm is a first-person shooter (FPS) in which players find themselves stranded on a planet that although once an adult-oriented paradise planet, is now hell incarnate, complete with savage mutants and flesh-eating gangs. The goal is simple: survive, escape the planet and pay back the SOB who sent you there. Additional features include deep 2-4 player support, a wide variety of ways to defeat enemies both large and small, an impressive arsenal of weapons and a Marvel Comics written storyline.
Story
Set in a futuristic utopia, an elite peacekeeping force thwarts the rumblings of civil war. But deception within the ranks has caused two members of the most feared unit, Dead Echo, to strike out on their own. Now washed-up mercenaries turned space pirates, Grayson Hunt and Ishi Sato's latest quest for a quick buck goes south. Stumbling upon their ex-commander's warship, the Ulysses, Grayson engages this behemoth head-on. Outmanned and outgunned, his only option is to ram the Ulysses in a suicidal bid at redemption. Narrowly surviving a crash landing and now stranded on the abandoned paradise planet of Stygia, Grayson and Ishi find themselves surrounded by hordes of mutants and flesh-eating gangs. They survive on two objectives: get off the planet alive and exact revenge on the man who sent them there.

The AI team play here is real nice. A lot still depends on you, this isn't like COD/MW where you might as well just watch others kills. The graphics are gorgeous, the settings are for the most part bright and colorful- a welcome departure from the sickening cave/darkness scenes in all other games. And the dialogue while very adolescent gives the game character and keeps things entertaining and lighthearted. Fortunately there are not countless audio log and video logs that you have to put up with, but the story is told by the characters.
Something different about this game is your ability to kick things down and kick enemies around as well as yank things toward you with a leash. There are truly lots of fun ways to kill the enemies by taking advantage of the environment. Weapons-wise I particularly enjoyed the rifle that allows you to guide the bullet. Another thing that's always enjoyable is when you have enemies that are funny, here some of them taunt you and mock you. There are a couple of bosses to many. There are a variety of settings, outdoors, indoors.
The few things I didn't like include the way you resupply yourself- you have to leash on to a drop kit and from there press a combination of space-bar and return key dozens of times to get ammo and change weapons. The other "problem" is that this game is fairly short. Very annoying when you are having so much fun. This is the best use of Unreal yet and I can't wait for part II.
However, for Bulletstorm, I figured, why not put my awesome rig to good use? Its got a great graphics card, tons of RAM, it's playing Dragon Age II with the high res pack just fine - I might as well get the best experience possible for my money and play on PC.
So, I popped the disc in, waited through the 9 GB installation, and double clicked the Bulletstorm icon to begin my game. Games for Windows Live loads up, and it wants to check the internet to make sure that it is indeed past the release date... and now I get an error message, "Cannot connect to Windows Live. Please make sure your computer is connected to the internet." Obviously, I am connected to the internet, or I wouldn't be able to write this product review.
Now I suppose that I'm expected to do some trouble shooting. Do I talk to an Amazon customer support representative so that they can pass me off to a Microsoft support representative? Do I skip Amazon and just try and call Microsoft, which will end up with me talking to some poor kid who doesn't know what he's talking about and being kept on hold for 20 minutes or more? Do I send a series of e-mails to Games for Windows Live Support in the hopes they'll be able to resolve my problems over the course of several days of back and forth correspondence? Or do I forget all that, and google the problem, and disable some ports on my firewall and enable others, or go into my registry to fix a single line of errant information that may or may not require a complete reinstall of Windows 7? I say, no to all of this.
Instead, I will just ask for my money back, and never buy a product that says "Games for Windows Live" on it ever again. Gaming should be a joy, not a chore. I shouldn't have to fight a product I paid hard earned money for to use.
EDIT: After finally getting the game to run it turns out to be a really cool over-the-top shooter. It places you in really weird environments like walking on the side of a building with magnetic boots. Also, the weapons are creative and fun.
Usually Games for Windows Live allows the user to create an offline account and thus not having to go online, this is not an option for this game unfortunately. The option to run the game offline will be presented when the user has given all of the information it requires and after the mandatory updates have been installed.
It is mandatory that the user acquires an online Windows Live account.
I found this a little disappointing; I was really looking forward to playing this game. But as a user, I refuse to be forced to upgrade something I bought and then have it sync with everything else that I own. Individuals who do not like this type of DRM should stay away from this game.
