Boring. Tedious. Dull. Bland. Especially "bland." These words and others like them tend to get thrown around a lot in reviews, but few games earn these adjectives more than Bodycount , the very definition of generic first-person shooter.

Giving up

Everything before that

I havent completed the caimpaign yet but it has been reported you can get around 750 just for beating the campaign. At the end of the day this game can be fun if you want to blow things up and enjoy several hours of mindless killing but on the other hand if you are easily frustrated by control...

great game

Bodycount brings us back to the glory days of arcade firefights with its blending of environment tearing and big-bang explosives. Feel the need for a little more speed in your shooter then we have a game for you.

Fast and smooth gunplay; Lots of destruction; Graphics hold up with their own unique style; Almost an orb -- lots of shiny icons to pick up; Skill shot your way onto the leaderboards

The narrative completely fails; Shallow gameplay; Run-around boring objectives; Auto-aiming could be a deal breaker for some

But I'm getting ahead of myself. For those who've never encountered Bodycount before, it's a first-person shooter designed to put the f...

Fantastically destructive action, OSB works beautifully..; online, Very fun when it's all kicking off

Bodycount is an FPS that underachieves at every opportunity. There's nothing that redeems it other than the fact it gives out achievements easy. So achievement hunters, I'd suggest renting this and to every one else, avoid!
