I think that what they didn't say said more than what they said. An overwhelming amount of subtext in such a short review.
What is it to be a Pancake? What truly is GoW? Who was phone?
It will be a long while before all the questions raised in that review are answered.
I noticed now that i have a $60 Credit from Amazon. $40 from KZ3 and Bulletstorm and $20 from LBP2. I also forgot to say that i bought both KZ3 and BS for $90 because i already had a $35 credit. I <3 Amazon.
EDIT: I pre-ordered it back when it was also $10 and when there was no promontional credit on KZ3, yet i got the $40 with no problem.

Didn't see this posted yet,
People Can Fly, the developers, invited two fans in to play an Echo map from the retail game.

Finally tried the demo and it made me decide to get this before KZ3 (which I also loved the demo of). Controls could do with a bit of work but it just felt so fresh and unlike so many of the CoD-clones out there. Love it. I also don't know what it is about the scores popping up but its so addictive trying to get clusters of them.

My excitement has grown exponentially over the weekend for this game. Midnight cannot come soon enough.

Picked it up. Digging in right now. Game day review embargos blow.
Played this last night - loved it to bits.S1kkZ said:
About halfway through and it's turned out surprisingly good compared to the prologue, and many many times better than the demo. Epic should never have released the demo - i know it turned off some people. The actual game is nothing like that.
The combat is furious and fun. Everything's campy and cheesy and over the top till now - but in a good way. Sort of like a bad movie which is so so bad you'll enjoy it after a night of binging. The dialogue is pure gold - it had me sold at 'dicktits' anyways. The pacing of the game so far has been spot on - adrenaline pulsing droves of enemies riddled with gaps to get your breath back.
The skill shots are not necessary, but they are great to pull off. And the level layout is also such that with a little bit of strategy it's easy to pull them off and rack up the skill points. The skill points help to get ammo and unlock special weapon powers - highly recommended if you want to uncover all skill moves. There's also a nice touch which indicates which skill moves are not done and sort of taunts you to complete them quickly.
Now for the bad part - some of the cutscenes are pukeworthy. Enemy AI is a bad joke. I mean they are really really dumb. Friendly AI is pretty dumb as well. I don't like the way that as soon as you move forward in an area backtracking is completely cut off - dammit I want to go back after killing a few enemies to get some ammo from a dropbox.

Mine still hasn't shipper (shipping soon), that's a bit odd.

Have no worries, sometimes Amazon is just slow to update their shipping status because of the massive amounts of games going out with release day shipping.

Bad Ai seems like it would be more of a problem in series like Halo or COD, where a kill is a kill. But it seems like you would want stupid AI in a game where you're trying to chain combos and kick baddies into exposed rebar. I can't believe I'm saying that I want stupid AI, but it seems like that's exactly what this game needs. After playing the demo through five-seven times, I think chasing some prick around the map whose trying to take cover would drive me mad.
Can't wait to pick this up!

Yay! GFWL works out here! Looks like I'll be ordering soon off of Steam (^___^)

I paid good money for this Dynex!
I was so close to buying this on Steam, but I managed to hold off since I can't play it till next week, so I was like what's the point.
Guess I'll scope the reviews tomorrow.

Ho.

Shit.
This is a fun, beautiful, very varied game. I'm only on Act 1, Chapter 3, but I've already gone through several very different locales and all sorts of different combat and action scenarios.
Yeah, the story isn't Eastbound & Down levels of heartfelt drama, but it's pretty engaging. So far it's been really good at giving you different reasons to move your ass. Lots of ticking clocks.
On Normal at least, though, I find myself running out of ammo more than I'd like to, and yes, I'm picking up some from guns. But not enough. It took me a while to buy upgrades because I had to keep spending points on ammo.
Overall though, this game is a total blast and very hard to put down.
I haven't touched multiplayer yet.

the campaign really is amazing, and its not a short one
its weird that they only released those lame skill-shot trailers as marketing instead of a full-blown trailer with some campagn action
I expect the review scores to be around 85%
its a shame theres no coop though, somehow I was under the impression there is
oh and on youtube there is a video of the first hour of bulletstorm from the german PS3 version

After seeing a commercial for this game I realized the best advertising slogan would have been "buy me Bulletstorm, or go to Hell!"
