Bullet Witch

[Twylyght Myst]

This is my first time writing a review so go easy on me!!:lol:

The opening sequence to the game is an ominous timeline showing at different times the death total in the millions by disease, war, etc. that stops at the year 2013 this is also the year that the game takes place in...

You play as Alicia, using a combination of firepower and magic. Alicia totes around a gunrod that at one end resembles a witches broom. The aim is decent and you get better accuracy if she is crouching down. She does hit pretty hard when you swing that gunrod for a mele attack.

As you progress through each level you earn skill points to unlock new gunrod forms, not sure what these are as I am still in stage 1 but I will post them here as I unlock them.

She has nine different spells, a couple of them you can upgrade by spending skill points. The one I have found most useful so far has been her will power spell. This spell is used to toss objects into enemys however you are unable to cast it directly on the enemy itself to throw them into walls and such. I found this quite odd since I was tossing Semi's around like it was cool. :lol:

My other favorite spell is her Lightning spell. The lightning spell can be used to take out bigger things such as tanks... I had fun using it to blow up the gas station... I have yet to get the tornado and the meteor spells so I am sure how those are but I will let you know as soon as I get them and cast one!!


Almost all the enemies look alike which I found kind of dull but I still had fun shoot 'em up or laying the smackdown with my gunrod. I also found the big brain enemy to be kinda creepy!!

I was disappointed there was no multi-player but I have been having alot of fun playing this game, espcially since the main character is a female and that is hard to come by in games... which is why I also love Bloodrayne.. :flower:

**Enjoy**

what score would ya give it?

[Mikewarrior]

what score would ya give it?

Why do I want this game?

[DeaconBlade]

i haven't heard anything positive about it :lol: until i guess now.

[Twylyght Myst]

I would say about a 6.

I feel that could have done better with the graphics and could have included more than one zombie model, the game also kind of leads you but all in all I am having fun playing it...

[Kinjutsumaru]

I played it at my friend's house and I thinks it's a very mediocre game to put it nicely. I would give it a 5 out of 10.

[big isy]

Funny thing is, had some skin been shown by the main protagonist you could bet your ass it would have gotten an 8 :lol:

[Sirharper]

Too Jappish for my gaming tastes.

Really?? You think so?? :lol: What kind of games are you into?

You are probably right Isy!! :lmao:

[Souf Centrol]

boo this review sucks :bird:







j/k good review, I'll be expecting you to loan it to me after you beat it

[Sirharper]

Really?? You think so?? :lol: What kind of games are you into?


My faves have been GTA:VC and Oblivion.

[Twylyght Myst]

okay so I got the tornado spell and like a total dork, I cast the spell and brought down the army helicopter from overhead (it was being manned by the demons)..

Well I just stood there, Duh :dunce:, and watched it crash to the ground because it was pretty cool, right, so it landed on me, and sadly I died.. :lol:

[big isy]

talking about idiotic moments, I just got off playing crackdown and decided to shoot some civilians, point blank range. I should have checked to see what weapon I had equiped, turns out rocket launchers aren't such a great idea at point blank.

[blazsox]

Bagh....dont remind me of Crackdown right now. Its pissing me off.

LOL, Don't remind me of rocket launchers!! I did this in PDZ and suicided. :lol:

Rule #1 of buying videogames...stay away from Atari and Acclaim.. Acclaim..luckily has gone under..although I'm reading that they are coming back... Atari sometimes have good ideas..that either evolve in to horrible games or always too buggy or just weren't good concepts to begin with..

[big isy]

TDU turned out pretty good, but Atari in general do suck.
Acclaim just got revived a couple months ago and have Dave Perry working for them, ex-Shiny. He was the man behind Enter the Matrix and the Path of Neo. I expect Acclaim to be worse than before. (Although they were pretty good back in their glory days)

[DeaconBlade]

well Atari just sent me a copy of Bullet Witch. i guess i'll get to see what the fuss is about ;)

[DJSteel]

the last game I liked from Atari was....Axis and Allies...

[Sirharper]

TDU was awesome, very underrated.

Atari also carried Unreal at once point and those game were very good as well.

I agree on both but Unreal Tournament 2003 was buggy.. that is why they released 04

[blazsox]

I liked Indigo Prophecy and TDU - both published by Atari. Other than that I think the last game I liked from them was Pong.

[DJSteel]

this isn't THE Atari... this Atari was initially infogrames..

[blazsox]

Meh, the original Atari and Infogrames both sucked.

[DeaconBlade]

i'll have a review when i play this game a bit more. but it's not looking good...i played for about 15 minutes last night and well....not sure what to say...especially from a visual standpoint. only on 360? someone has to be kidding when they marked it as such. :lol:

Oh damn... I've heard of all the pop-in & weak detail (Except the main character=HOT) But I heard the music, effects/explosions, magic attacks, destructible environments, and controls are not that bad, and the game can be a lot of fun.

[DeaconBlade]

i suppose i'll have to get to those parts :lol: the enemies are already ridiculous...the voice work is cheesed to perfection...which isn't a good thing.

[Twylyght Myst]

The main fights are where the graphics are a little better, The best I have found so far is when you are on the airliner fighting the flying demon, which is a pain in the butt by the way!!

But it is tiring looking at the same zombie model in a different outfit...

[DeaconBlade]

i only hope i can make it to a battle to see it get better. the initial fight with those stupid zombie dudes was unimpressive. the targetting is really dodgy as well. no lock on..which is cool...but at least make the targetting a bit better...you're almost forced to zoom in to hit.

[Twylyght Myst]

deacon, it doesnt get any better, :lol: I had to stop I believe around act 5..

My game atleast, started to get glitchy where the snipers were shooting me through my ancient wall spell and according to the tips you recieve, it says to use the ancient wall and hide behind it until the red laser from the sniper disappears, riiigghhht...:lol:

But I am determined to finish it...

[big isy]

I think the only folks that'll buy this are those after Gamerpoints. Devs love it, they can make a crappy game and it'll still sell pretty good.

You don't think this game will sell good, do you?

[Twylyght Myst]

I'm having fun playing it even though it is annoying me right now.. :lol:

I just wanna know when they are going to release her outfits for download on the marketplace??

I know if you flip the cover around on the backside it shows you 4 different outfits, I am wondering if those are any that will be available...

[big isy]

It's probably something that'll sit well in my collection, I have knack for average to mediocre games.

[DJSteel]

bullet witch will not sell well at all...if I rent it...Atari should be happy..

[Kinjutsumaru]

I think the only folks that'll buy this are those after Gamerpoints. Devs love it, they can make a crappy game and it'll still sell pretty good.

I think so too. It's not for me at all, it's mediocre and easy at the same time. I think in order for me to get any kind of challenge from this game I would have to begin on the highest difficulty setting.

But that's just me. Different people like different things.

[DeaconBlade]

ya know what...this game could've been an incredible hit with just a little more time put in to it...damn Atari...they really had the concept and idea down but the delivery fell short.....but i could have truly seen myself loving this game had they just delayed it to polish it.

wow...playing a bit more of it you see how much potential this title had.

[Twylyght Myst]

Didn't Atari have a hand in Test Drive Unlimited?

I thought the graphics and gameplay was pretty good in test drive..

[DeaconBlade]

yep they sure did. my Bullet Witch review is coming up soon ;)

[DeaconBlade]

ok this stupid monster on chapter 6...wtf...does he not die?

[DJSteel]

ok this stupid monster on chapter 6...wtf...does he not die?

lol...tell me they made a game that is unbeatable...lol

[DeaconBlade]

well lol...i've been shooting, dropping meteors etc...no dice. can't shoot the stupid snakes off of him either.

[Kinjutsumaru]

well lol...i've been shooting, dropping meteors etc...no dice. can't shoot the stupid snakes off of him either.


Don't worry, I'm going to rent it and knock it off really quick then give you some tips :coolguy: .

[DeaconBlade]

:bird: Kin haha

[Karma]

well lol...i've been shooting, dropping meteors etc...no dice. can't shoot the stupid snakes off of him either.


It takes a while.
I played through on Easy then suffered through it again on Normal, got to the end boss ... and just got bored of him after about half an hour. I just binned the entire fight and played a bit of Lost Planet. Felt great to be free.

You just have to keep plugging away. Make sure your weapons are nicely levelled up. Hit him with lightning when the creepy voice tells you to finish him.

It isn't difficult, just very monotonous.

[Squidpunch]

I havent tried this game yet, but it is on my list.

[DeaconBlade]

ok thanks Karma...but is the lightning finishing move after i kill off his stupid snake arms? and i'm assuming i just keep shooting the snake arms to get rid of them right? i killed one but can't remember if i shot the guy are directly at the snake arms.

[Karma]

Get behind him. Always hit him from behind. To kill the snakes aim at the place where they all join together just off the back of his shoulder. It's easy to tell when you're doing damage to him because you see white sparks coming off him.

After you've knocked the snakes out the creepy voice will tell you to finish him off. Hit him in the back with lightning or something. I used lightning because it's more exact with what it hits.

[DeaconBlade]

cool Karma...i'm taking this sucka out tonight after i download the spring dashboard update.

[Squidpunch]

[Squidpunch]

edit: ok so its a group hug image....but it almost looks like a huddle.

[DeaconBlade]

yeah i need to get some more smilies now that you remind me.

[DJSteel]

uh oh deacon is flauting his cool inside access in our faces!

:thread:

[DeaconBlade]

:faq: threads that i partake in never suck. haha

[Twylyght Myst]

:thread:

DJ, this thread so doesn't suck!! :( LOL...

I have fun playing bullet witch but i am not to sure about that mummy outfit....

does anyone know how to get to the new missions, yes I bought some, LOL...

[Raithgar]

I haven't had a chance to download any of the levels yet.. but I thought you could access these levels via the Stage Select option in the main menu? or was that for something else? I only gotten to the second level.. need to get back to that game.. (GF didn't like the mummy suit as well, yet was ok with the White Witch even though it looks more like a fetish nurse uniform)

[Twylyght Myst]

thats what I thought too but apparently I am locked out of my stage select! LOL..

[Raithgar]

It would suck if you have to beat the game first.. before you can access these areas

[Raithgar]

Sorry for the double post.. here is what I found on the FAQ on the main Bullet Witch website..

How to access new missions:
Once they are released, and you have downloaded them via Xbox Live Marketplace, they will be available to choose from the Download menu of the game. Simply go to the menu from the main menu when the game starts and choose which mission you would like to play through.

Since I didn't download any of the missions yet.. I couldn't test this to make sure it was 100%.. But I hope this helps you out Twylyght

Bullet Witch looks like a bumass game. I can't bring myself to rent it.
