Shack PSA: Bulletstorm Demo on Xbox 360, PS3 Today; Crysis 2 Multiplayer Beta on Live

So...maybe Im used to PC games a little too much, but is there NO jumping in Bulletstorm? WTF? I could understand if its 3rd person,but a first person shooter without jumping? No buy. I got stuck on tons of shit in the game. Bars, the edge of a discarded gun (seriously), and other random debris. You can duck, slide, run, and shoot....but it could have added loads more kill combos if you could jump.

Also...the FOV kind of sucks. I played on PS3, then watched my friend on XBOX 360, and it felt the same...just a little claustrophobic, which i understand seems to be the normal thing for UE3 engine games unless otherwise noted. I had instances of sliding into a fight, trying to boot the guy, having him somehow run past me, then we basically had a running dog fight for a minute until I could back up enough to hit him again. Not cool.

Graphic wise, its on par with other UE games, which isnt necessarily a bad thing. It ran smoothly, and didnt have any hiccups. IMO, it seemed a tad smoother on the PS3, but it could also be the older LCD TV my friend has versus a plasma that I own. Im not sure on that...but it looked good.

The humor is a little cheesy at times...i think they tried to squeeze in a little too much vulgarity, but it fits, and its fun. The gore is excessive, but it too has its place here, and it seems right at home.

AI was not good, but it could be that it was just a demo. Basically, I saw a lot of badguys do the "run straight towards the good guy's gun", which made killing too easy on EASY and NORMAL modes...but I didnt try HARD. I decided to focus on the different ways I could kill someone instead, and that was fun for a few runthroughs.

All in all, I felt it was a B- or C+ if I had to grade it. To me, it is not worth the $60, especially if there is no jumping. I think a FPS should have that as a standard. It was fun...but not $60 fun.

Its just my opinion though.
