Bullet Witch Review
Xbox Live Extras
Bullet Witch supports Xbox Live leaderboards. Don’t ask me why but it does. If you want to compare your rankings with friends and others, then you can. There is a scoreboard for each stage as well as overall score. You can also change costumes via downloadable content on the Xbox Live Marketplace whenever they become available.
Conclusion
Bullet Witch had everything working in its favor. It had a hot, central character. It had a good story behind it. It had a very cool weapon and upgrade system. It had magic spells and a theme that screamed for a frightening experience. It had all of this. It had incredible potential but it just wasn’t given enough time I believe. I could have been playing the sleeper hit of the year. I hope that beyond the sales or media, that this game gets a sequel. And with the sequel, I hope that Cavia takes its time to deliver on what was a very promising title. I think gamers deserve a do-over in this game. It was, I thought, a decent title but it missed in many areas. That’s something more time could’ve perhaps corrected.
Why wasn’t she the Geist killing, Rose Spear casting, Gunrod swinging witch of my dreams? She sure had the potential to be but it just came up a tad short on delivery. With all this said, I do recommend you try the game and play it for a little bit and look beyond what’s there to see the potential it had. I played through it and Bullet Witch ended up being some good fun afterall.

Nice review, you were right about its wasted potential.
I really had fun with this game, but through the entire experience I was frustrated because it could’ve been so much better. High hopes for the sequel though.
