First off, I have to say that I am sick of Call of Duty. We have played that one into the ground at my house. I dowloaded the demo for this one and gave it a try. I thought it was fun. Sometimes I think people focus a little too much on the graphics aspect of a game.

this is a mindless piece of fun' and as long as you take it as that' and not a serious game trying to be something it isnt ' it is well worth it for the price you can pick it up!

Bodycount is Codemaster's latest attempt at establishing a foothold in the already overcrowded shooter genre. It's the spiritual successor to the enjoyable albeit flawed Black, which came out all the way back in 2006.

Billed as the spiritual successor to the classic last-gen shooter, Black, until the mysterious departure of motor-mouthed project lead, Stuart Black, Bodycount is a stingingly average shooter.

Destructible environments | Action packed

Poor story and voice work | Very short | Very repetitive

Bodycount could be called the spiritual successor to Black , Criterion Games' epic destruction fest; however it soon becomes clear that whilst its predecessor revolutionised visceral combat, Bodycount is simply a bare shell of a game.

Bodycount attempts to deliver an arcade package that negates many extras and concentrates purely on its gameplay.

Satisfying gunplay; Looks good; Varied environments

Short campaign; Shoddy enemy AI; Poor online multiplayer; Destruction isn't as good as first promised

Most people have played or at least heard of Black. It was a shooter on Xbox and PS2 that really pushed the limits of what the hardware could do back then, and aside from being a little on the...

+ Solid shooting mechanics; + Destructible environments

Feels unfinished; Online is a waste; AI is terrible; Content is extremely lacking

When Bodycount works, in those brief moments where the old-school FPS mentality, trumpeted game mechanics and big explosions come together to form a riotous synthesis, it's impossible not to let a big smile break out on your face.

It got finished; Nexus levels are good fun; Some nice ideas

...but often poorly implemented; Doesn't quite know what it wants to be; Short and lacking in supplemental content

FPS I know your momma's grieving… fuck her! Cos tonight we get even. is a strange game. It was intended to be the spiritual sequal to the cult classic first-person shooter which was released on the Xbox and PS2.
