Bulletstorm (PS3)

Summary

Bulletstorm stands as a unique First Person Shooter, crafted by the creators behind Gears of War and Painkiller—Epic Games, People Can Fly, and Electronic Arts. This innovative title introduces the exhilarating ‘kill with skill’ gameplay against the backdrop of a futuristic utopia teetering on the brink of civil war. Witness the tale of Grayson Hunt and Ishi Sato, ex-members of the elite peacekeeping force Dead Echo, as they embark on a path of revenge and redemption across the dangerous planet of Stygia.

Storyline and Setting

The journey of Grayson Hunt and Ishi Sato starts as a quest for profit, but quickly spirals into a fight for survival. After a run-in with the Ulysses warship commanded by their treacherous ex-commander, they are obliged to crash-land on the abandoned planet Stygia. This paradise-turned-warzone is now overrun with mutants and marauding gangs. Hunt and Sato are left with two clear objectives: escape the hostile planet and settle the score with the man responsible for their plight.
