The game tells the story of a futuristic confederation protected by an elite band of mercenaries: Dead Echo. When Dead Echo members Grayson Hunt and Ishi Sato learn they've been working for the wrong side, they're betrayed by their commander and exiled to the far reaches of the galaxy. In Bulletstorm, Grayson and Ishi find themselves surrounded by hordes of mutants and flesh eating gangs in an abandoned paradise. They have two objectives: get off the planet alive, and exact revenge on the man who sent them there.\n\nPlayers step into the role of Grayson Hunt complete with an arsenal of over-the-top combat moves and outrageously large guns. Bulletstorm's array of distinct 'skillshots' produces unprecedented levels of frantic gameplay and yell-inducing satisfaction. The skillshot system rewards players for inciting mayhem in the most creative way possible. The more insane the skillshot, the more points players collects to upgrade their character and unlock weapons, which then allows them to execute even more creative moves and exaggerated skillshots.","187768\u002Fbulletstorm-cover.jpg","187768\u002Fbulletstorm-header.jpg","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.youtube.com\u002Fwatch?v=gjNEKnifT5M","2011-02-22",76.57,494,"bulletstorm",null,[19,24,27],{"company":20,"developed":22,"published":23},{"name":21},"Electronic Arts",false,true,{"company":25,"developed":23,"published":22},{"name":26},"People Can Fly",{"company":28,"developed":23,"published":22},{"name":29},"Epic Games",[31],"Shooter",[33,34,35],"PC (Microsoft Windows)","PlayStation 3","Xbox 360",[37,52,67,81,96,111,125,140,153],{"id":38,"author":39,"outlet":42,"summary":48,"review_url":49,"review_date":13,"original_score":50,"normalized_score":51},70252,{"id":40,"name":41},4749,"Arthur Gies",{"id":43,"logo":44,"name":45,"website_url":46,"score_format":47},69,"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.criticdb.com\u002Fstorage\u002Fv1\u002Fobject\u002Fpublic\u002Favatars\u002FOutlets\u002FIGN-logo.jpg","IGN","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.ign.com\u002F","10","Bulletstorm demonstrates the value of \"why\" for action games. Taken out of the context of its fiction, People Can Fly would have something fun but forgettable on their hands, but the way Bulletstorm fits together results in something cool and memorable. Multiplayer failings notwithstanding, Bulletstorm shines as a single-player shooter. Despite its crass humor and wang-flinging bravado, it's got some real character and heart to it. I'm not happy about the story's sequel-bait belly flop of an ending, but I'm excited to see where Grayson and Bulletstorm go next.","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.ign.com\u002Farticles\u002F2011\u002F02\u002F22\u002Fbulletstorm-review-2","8",80,{"id":53,"author":54,"outlet":57,"summary":63,"review_url":64,"review_date":65,"original_score":66,"normalized_score":51},36338,{"id":55,"name":56},3524,"Trevor Houston",{"id":58,"logo":59,"name":60,"website_url":61,"score_format":62},7,"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.criticdb.com\u002Fstorage\u002Fv1\u002Fobject\u002Fpublic\u002Favatars\u002FOutlets\u002Fcog-connected-logo.png","COGConnected","https:\u002F\u002Fcogconnected.com","100","As far as the games plot is concerned, Bulletstorm takes place in the 26th century, where the Confederation of Planets are protected by a secret black-ops army called Dead Echo.  You play as Grayson Hunt who was dishonorably discharged from Dead Echo after they were betrayed by their commanding officer, General Sarrano.  Grayson is a killing machine who thrives on drunkenness and chaos to escape the haunting memories of the brutal acts he committed under the orders of General Sarrano.  After a spontaneous and liquor-induced attempt to take revenge on the General and his forces, Grayson and his sidekick Sato’s ship crash-landed on the planet Stygia.  It is a planet overrun by criminals, meat eating plants, flesh eating gangs and monsters.  With the help of Sato, your primary objective in the game is to find a way off the planet while doing battle with the General’s forces.","https:\u002F\u002Fcogconnected.com\u002Freview\u002Fbulletstorm\u002F","2011-03-16","80",{"id":68,"author":69,"outlet":72,"summary":78,"review_url":79,"review_date":13,"original_score":80,"normalized_score":51},37915,{"id":70,"name":71},3757,"AOTF Staff",{"id":73,"logo":74,"name":75,"website_url":76,"score_format":77},50,"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.criticdb.com\u002Fstorage\u002Fv1\u002Fobject\u002Fpublic\u002Favatars\u002FOutlets\u002FAttack-Of-The-Fanboy-Logo.jpg","Attack of the Fanboy","https:\u002F\u002Fattackofthefanboy.com\u002F","5","Bulletstorm is an awesome game.
