Today's post concerns some initial thoughts on playing
Bulletstorm. These thoughts concern tone more than gameplay.
I expected
Bulletstorm to provide over the top parody of action games (the way that, say,
Machete provides a similar critique of the exploitation film), what I got was over the top but an also altogether too familiar images of men in video games. If
Bulletstorm is supposed to be a joke, how come it feels so much like
Gears of War or
Turok or
Darksiders or any number of other games? Where's the parody?
