People Can Fly’s cult sci-fi shooter – and booter, and whipper, and blower-upper – returns in an impressively lavish package.

Full Review

Only six years have passed since the wildly inventive Bulletstorm originally released, which may be why this update looks so good and plays so smoothly.

Bulletstorm: Full Clip Edition is a great-looking remaster of a still fun, ridiculously over-the-top shooter from last generation that pokes fun at the genre while introducing its own distinctively violent, melee-heavy playstyle. On the other hand, it’s almost completely devoid of new content, which makes it less attractive for returning fans who were hoping for anything more than a facelift.

Atomix	Alberto Desfassiaux	80 / 100	04-06-2017	A pretty good remastered version of a decent FPS that nobody played during the last console generation. If you want a crazy adventure full of bullets and gore, you should check it out.	Read review
Attack of the Fanboy	Mike Guarino	4 / 5 stars	04-06-2017	Bulletstorm: Full Clip Edition is easily the definitive version of the game, and if you’ve never picked up the game previously then now is the perfect time to jump on board. The previous issues still apply, but overall it’s a stylish FPS that fans of the genre looking for something outside of the box should enjoy.	Read review
CGMagazine	Bryan Calhoun	8 / 10	04-07-2017	Duke Nukem is a surprisingly snug fit in a game he wasn’t intended for.	Read review
Chalgyr’s Game Room	Pierre-Yves Lanthier	8 / 10	04-19-2017	Have you ever wondered what it would be like to have a system judge your every action? If you have, now’s your chance to live it! Bulletstorm is back for more foul-mouthed	Read review
COGconnected	Alexander Thomas	80 / 100	04-06-2017	Non-stop, high-octane combat, colorful characters and slick graphics make Bulletstorm:FCE an experience that gore loving gamers can definitely get behind.	Read review
Cubed3	William Lowery	7 / 10	04-19-2017	Even six years after its original release, Bulletstorm is still a wickedly fun shooter whose greatest strength is its skillshot system. With it, the combat becomes not just fun, but also quite creative, since it rewards players who think outside the box in regards to killing enemies. Fortunately, the story, minus its cliff-hanger ending, is surprisingly good, considering it could have been only a paper-thin plot for which to hang the gameplay on. Although the title does lack replay value and the extra modes won’t hold one’s interest for long, the core meat of the game is its biggest, and greatest, strength.	Read review
DarkZero	Ian Howarth	6 / 10	06-20-2017	Bulletstorm is a nice little 8-hour time-sink where the player has to never think and can just go about blowing people to bits. Sure, it hasn’t aged well but the combat side works fine and there’s a bit of replayability if one wants to attempt to get every Skillshot, or try to see how far you can get with a couple of friends in the wave-based multiplayer mode. However, it is certainly a shame to see such little effort put into this new release even though it is perfectly OK.	Read review
Destructoid	Peter Glagowski	7 / 10	04-06-2017	If you only ever experienced the original on consoles, though, Full Clip Edition might be more enticing. It speeds up the framerate, includes all the DLC, and even provides an insane new way to experience the campaign. Whether or not Duke adds to that is yet to be seen, but at least the main package lives up to its title.	Read review
Digitally Downloaded	Brad L.	3.5 / 5 stars	04-20-2017	Thankfully for many people, Bulletstorm’s re-release is a chance to check out a title that wasn’t exactly a hit the first time around. It’s a cool little game that pokes fun at a lot of what is wrong with AAA First Person Shooters, and a lot of it is still relevant today.	Read review
DualShockers	Lou Contaldi	7.5 / 10	04-10-2017	Bulletstorm: Full Clip Edition is a blast from the past in some amazing and awful ways. Despite a horrific ending sequence, the gunplay, graphics and frame rates are enthralling even compared to current FPS games — an easy recommendation for those who missed out the first time. You will just find yourself wishing People Can Fly polished up some more archaic points of the game that drag down the experience.	Read review
Eurogamer	Graeme Virtue	Recommended	04-07-2017	People Can Fly’s cult sci-fi shooter	Read review
Forbes	Erik Kain	7.5 / 10	04-10-2017	Bulletstorm: Full Clip Edition is a lot of fun, but there’s no way a remaster should cost this much without substantially more new content.	Read review
Game Debate	Jon Sutton	3.5 / 10	04-29-2017	If you’ve got the DOOM reboot then I heartily recommend you just go and play its Arcade Mode instead. This was added as a free update back in October last year, and it’s everything you want from a score-attack shooter and then some. Failing that, and if you’ve never played Bulletstorm before, then it’s worth a play-through should you spot it at a deep discount further down the line.	Read review
Game Revolution	Griffin Vacheron	4 / 5 stars	04-06-2017	If you do opt for Full Clip Edition you’ll surely have a blast with its wacky Skillshots and outrageous, funny, and somehow oddly affecting story just like before. There’s an argument to be made that the likes of DOOM and Quake Champions owe Bulletstorm for warming up the public to the unabashedly macho, gore-heavy shooter style that is clearly seeing a resurgence right now. Keep your expectations in check regarding Duke Nukem, and you should enjoy the experience just fine.	Read review
GameCrate	Leo Parrill	7.5 / 10	04-06-2017	Despite a puerile sense of humor Bulletstorm: Full Clip Edition channels the soul of old school first person shooters like Serious Sam and Doom, with a modern look and a creative twist.	Read review
Gamefa	Meysam Abdulahipour	8.8 / 10	04-27-2017	Bulletstorm is back and it’s as awesome as it was before, a brilliant first-person shooter that doesn’t take anything seriously because the only thing that the game wants you to do is having fun.	Read review
GameGrin	Ethan Butterfield	8 / 10	04-26-2017	Despite the rocky start from its initial release in 2011, it looks like Bulletstorm is back on track with an overall decent remastering that fixes a lot, but might leave a little something to be desired.	Read review
GamePro	Sascha Penzhorn	83 / 100	04-12-2017	Action-packed shooter from 2011 with improved graphics and some new features.	Read review
Gamer Escape	Aaron Botts	8 / 10	04-14-2017	Putting this game back in my hands reminded me how enjoyable it is to relish in goofy ridiculousness. Even if it is a naturally short ride down memory lane, it’s a game well worth revisiting.	Read review
Gamerheadquarters	Jason Stettner	8.4 / 10	04-06-2017	I certainly enjoyed Bulletstorm: Full Clip Edition finding it to be a solid remaster of a very enjoyable game to play.	Read review
GameSpew	Richard Seagrave	8 / 10	04-08-2017	Bulletstorm: Full Clip Edition brings one of the most underappreciated gems of the last generation up to date for a whole new legion of players to discover and enjoy.	Read review
GameSpot	Scott Butterworth	8 / 10	04-06-2017	Only six years have passed since the wildly inventive Bulletstorm originally released, which may be why this update looks so good and plays so smoothly.	Read review
Gaming Nexus	Patrick Aloia	8 / 10	04-06-2017	Despite lackluster plot and characterization, and inconsistent level and art design, Bulletstorm: Full Clip Edition is still a brilliant, imaginative shooter six years later. It looks and plays even better in the current generation, with a few new goodies that are worth giving a look.	Read review
GamingTrend	Zach Faber	90 / 100	04-06-2017	Bulletstorm: Full Clip edition let me revisit a game that I really enjoyed, and it didn’t disappoint. It is still as unique and hilarious as ever, and with the improvements to its visuals, Bulletstorm now has some beauty to go with its blood.	Read review
GearNuke	Danial Arshad Khan	7.5 / 10	04-12-2017	Bulletstorm Full Clip Edition is a soulless remaster but despite its lack of new content, the core of the game is still solid and despite the dated visuals, the gameplay still holds up well making for one of the most entertaining first person shooter.	Read review
God is a Geek	Chris White	8 / 10	04-06-2017	If you never had the privilege of playing this when it came out originally, now’s the perfect time to give it a go. It’s action-packed and smarter than it may appear, plus Duke Nukem is in it!	Read review
Hardcore Gamer	Sam Spyrison	4 / 5 stars	04-06-2017	Full Clip Edition represents the most complete and enhanced way to experience Bulletstorm, as some smart additions and an improved presentation help breathe new life into the 2011 FPS. Many of the game’s issues from the past still remain, as some questionable one-liners and depth-lacking modes are still present for this 2017 remaster.	Read review
Hey Poor Player	Mike Vito	4.5 / 5 stars	04-06-2017	If Bulletstorm flew under your radar before, don’t let it happen again.	Read review
Hobby Consolas	Daniel Quesada	77 / 100	07-04-2017	It still is a fluent, crazy and fun action game (that’s what’s important, right?), but the graphical improvement and the new features are non relevant.	Read review
IGN	Lucy O’Brien	7.8 / 10	04-06-2017	Bulletstorm: Full Clip Edition is a great-looking remaster of a still fun, ridiculously over-the-top shooter from last generation that pokes fun at the genre while introducing its own distinctively violent, melee-heavy playstyle.

IGN Spain	Juan García	7.5 / 10	04-07-2017	A nice remaster that does almost nothing new besides its graphics to be appealing to a new audience… But it’s still extremely fun and addictive.	Read review
KnowTechie	Jonathan White	7.5 / 10	04-07-2017	When it comes to raging, throbbing, murder boners, no one can compare to The King, Duke Nukem.	Read review
Marooners’ Rock	Josh Pedroza	8.3 / 10	04-06-2017	Anyone who missed out on Bulletstorm originally, they owe it to themselves to check out Bulletstorm: Full Clip Edition.	Read review
Metro GameCentral	GameCentral	8 / 10	04-10-2017	The price alone will put most people off, but underneath that, and the obnoxious dialogue, is one of the most original first person shooters of the last gen.	Read review
MonsterVine	Carlos Macias	4 / 5 stars	04-07-2017	If you never played the original Bulletstorm, you owe it to yourself to check out the re-release of People Can Fly’s shooter classic.	Read review
NZGamer	Brian McDonald	7.7 / 10	05-04-2017	If you’re tired of grey landscapes, grey guns, and grey soldiers, try taking Grayson out for a spin.	Read review
Player.One	Scott Craft	3 / 10	04-06-2017	If you’re a diehard FPS fan looking for something new, or just someone who’d like to revisit Bulletstorm, I’d absolutely recommend adding Full Clip Edition to your collection.	Read review
Player2.net.au	Matt Hewson	Recommended	04-16-2017	If you already own Bulletstorm there isn’t much new here for you, however, if you missed it (like many did) it really is a unique spin on the FPS genre that is well worth playing. Just wait till the price drops before you dip your toes in.	Read review
PlayStation LifeStyle	Paulmichael Contreras	8 / 10	04-06-2017	Bulletstorm: Full Clip Edition is a fun trip down memory lane. A bloody, violent, slick memory lane. While the game is showing its age even (or perhaps especially) when upscaled to 4K resolution, the fun of the original shines through. The addition of more challenges will bring back vets of the original, and multiplayer might even be worth another trip. Fans of the original should consider picking this up, while those who skipped the original should give it a go as well.	Read review
PlayStation Universe	Neil Bolt	8.5 / 10	04-06-2017	A fairly competent remaster of one of the last generation’s most underappreciated shooters, Bulletstorm: Full Clip Editon reminds us that dumb fun doesn’t mean no creativity. For anyone who’s already played it, there’s not much new to make this an essential repurchase, but if you see it for a lower price down the road, grab it.	Read review
PS4Blog.net	Tracey	8.5 / 10	04-07-2017	Those of you pre-ordered the game will be getting the game will be getting the Duke Nukem’s Bulletstorm Tour DLC for free. This allows you to play as Duke in the game instead of as Grayson, and it includes a rerecorded script and brand-new lines from the original voice of Duke himself. If you didn’t pre-order, you can get the DLC for only $5.	Read review
Push Square	Alex Stinton	8 / 10	04-06-2017	It’s really puzzling that in the past six years there hasn’t been a lengthy procession of titles ripping off Bulletstorm’s excellent skillshot system. Whether you’re pulling enemies onto a cactus with your leash or slide kicking them into a furnace, this novel approach to causing carnage will keep you experimenting way past the conclusion of its hugely enjoyable campaign. While the story, dialogue, and characters are as laughably juvenile as you may have heard, it’s the gameplay at its heart – along with the updated visuals – that ensure Bulletstorm’s well worth revisiting.	Read review
Rock, Paper, Shotgun	John Walker	Not Recommended	04-06-2017	Bulletstorm is lots of silly fun, and deserved to do better in 2011. It’s still lots of silly fun, but it’s hard to quite get as behind the desire for it to do well when it’s being released at full price with very little new put in.	Read review
Saving Content	Scott Ellison II	3 / 5 stars	04-06-2017	Bulletstorm: Full Clip Edition is a really fun first-person shooter, but I do not find there to be full value in what’s on offer here for a several years old game. And really, the game’s main issue for me is that the dialogue and writing have not aged well and it just comes off really insensitive and dumb in ways that may have worked in 2011, but just doesn’t in 2017. The improvements, while mainly graphically still make for an exciting shooter that has yet to be repeated in the years since its original release, and Bulletstorm: Full Clip Edition is worth a replay if you can wait for a sale.	Read review
Sirus Gaming	Leif Rey Bornales	7.5 / 10	04-25-2017	If you’ve never played the original, this is a good time to play the game since you will be treated to its enhanced visuals. The story is little to be desired but the game shines with its gameplay. The chaos and the carnage it bring is just so entertaining that you wouldn’t really mind about the story at all.	Read review
Slant Magazine	Justin Clark	4 / 5 stars	04-07-2017	Bulletstorm is a wide, cackling grin of a game that doesn’t so much beg to be played but indulged in.	Read review
SomHráč.sk	Gabriel Klimo	75 / 100	04-25-2017	Bulletstorm: Full Clip Edition is very similar to the original game, but now you can also play as Duke Nukem. If you haven’t played Bulletstorm yet, don’t miss this new edition.	Read review
Stevivor	Steve Wright	5 / 10	04-24-2017	Sadly, much of Bulletstorm gets in its own way.	Read review
TechRaptor	Samuel Guglielmo	8 / 10	04-06-2017	Bulletstorm: Full Clip Edition has a solid eight-hour campaign that is still one of the best offered in an FPS even five years later. Sadly, the other modes don’t hold up very well and the new Duke Nukem stuff is ultimately a bust. Still, if you haven’t played Bulletstorm, this is a great opportunity to do so.	Read review
The Digital Fix	Peter Taylor	8 / 10	04-19-2017	If you missed playing Bulletstorm when it was originally released the Full Clip Edition is the definitive way to play one of the Xbox 360’s more under appreciated titles. Not to mention it’s stupid, stupid fun!	Read review
The Jimquisition	Jim Sterling	5 / 10	04-12-2017	The remaster itself, tragically, is really quite good. It runs beautifully in 4K at a smooth 60 frames-per-second, with characters and environments that still look striking today. Aside from some occasionally buggy ally A.I., it’s polished up nicely, and I wish I could say it was worth rushing out to buy.	Read review
TheSixthAxis	Jake Durasamy	7 / 10	04-06-2017	Bulletstorm: Full Clip Edition brings back a mixture if beautiful visuals and fast-paced first-person gameplay that we’re rarely treated to. The Duke Nukem add on also works surprisingly well too, with Duke’s dialogue working well alongside Bulletstorm’s blend of phallic jokes and crass humour, even if he does look out of place in the game’s cutscenes. It’s a decent remaster that could have been improved further with an updated control scheme, but whether with Grayson or Duke, this is still some of the best FPS gameplay in recent times.	Read review
TheXboxHub	Carlos Santuana	4.5 / 5 stars	04-09-2017	With enough fresh content to call back the interest of veteran players and a unique experience that should be welcomed by new players, Bulletstorm: Full Clip Edition finally gets the opportunity to really shine.	Read review
TrueAchievements	Jonathan Barnes	4 / 5 stars	04-13-2017	Bulletstorm is still as good as it ever was. It’s fast, fluid, highly vulgar, and incredibly addictive. In a world of hyper-serious shooters, Bulletstorm stands out as an oasis of non-serious fun and is head-and-shoulders above its competition… Duke included. Fans of shooters who missed out in 2011 are highly encouraged to pick up this remaster as it is going to be the best way to play through the exploits of Grayson, Ishi, and Trishka. That being said, if you’ve already played the original and aren’t aching to be knee deep in viscera and vulgarity, there’s not a lot here to encourage a second go, especially at the current price point.	Read review
Twinfinite	Collin MacGregor	3 / 5 stars	04-06-2017	Bulletstorm: Full Clip Edition is an action game that is fun in the moment, but is quickly forgettable thanks to a poor story, one-note characters, and mixed visuals. While the actual gameplay itself is incredibly enjoyable, there just isn’t enough new content to justify this game’s existence.	Read review
Video Chums	Tyler Hall	8.2 / 10	04-10-2017	Bulletstorm was a great game in 2011 and it’s just as enjoyable in 2017.	Read review
Wccftech	Jorge Jimenez	7 / 10	04-23-2017	Bulletstorm is back and it is still as ridiculous as you remember. The Skillshot System provides an awesome challenge for FPS players who want something a little different than your typical military shooter.	Read review
We Got This Covered	Ken Barnes	3.5 / 5 stars	04-06-2017	Bulletstorm: Full Clip Edition doesn’t offer a great deal of new content, but new visual polish and the quality and fun of the original game means that the package holds up well.	Read review
Windows Central	Paul Acevedo	4 / 5 stars	04-10-2017	The Full Clip Edition still makes for a fairly compelling package.	Read review
