People Can Fly, Epic Games and Electronic Arts Inc. have released the demo for Bulletstorm, the highly anticipated new action shooter from the makers of the award-winning Gears of War and Unreal series of games. The demo hit Xbox LIVE and Playstation network yesterday (January 25). The demo gives players a taste of the guns, action and attitude Bulletstorm has to offer, with Entertainment Weekly describing Bulletstorm as “an intense, outrageous shooter,” and Seth Schiesel from the New York Times stating, “the name should say it all; big guns, lots of lead and over-the-top mayhem.”
The Bulletstorm demo introduces a slice of Echo mode in which players traverse a collapsed building on the deadly paradise planet Stygia as ex-Dead Echo leader Grayson Hunt. Players will utilize the “Skillshot” system in Bulletstorm as they crush enemies in increasingly creative ways to rack up points using an arsenal of powerful weapons, from a futuristic assault rifle called the Peace Maker Carbine, to the Flail Gun, which fires two grenades linked by a chain, and the Screamer, a powerful revolver that turns enemies into human fireworks.
The Bulletstorm Epic Edition will be available for the Xbox 360 videogame and entertainment system and grant early access to the Gears of War 3 beta as well as additional bonus content in-game. The Bulletstorm Limited Edition will be available for the PlayStation 3 computer entertainment system and PC and will also offer additional bonus content in-game.
Bulletstorm will be available on Feb. 22, 2011 in North America and Feb. 25, 2011 in Europe.
