    Might be helpful to add some info about preferences. Into multiplayer?

    by the way, I haven't played Bulletstorm. So my suggestions would be a little bit biased.

    Bulletstorms MP while fun is very limited as in it's co-op only, think horde from gears of war, and thats it.

    i had bulletstorm as a release day title and its meh imo great fun for 30 minutes but i guarantee you will get bored quickly.

    now crysis on the other hand wow wow wow... it really plays fantastic, looks fantastic and both sp and mp are class.

    i have to be honest and say crysis 2 as it really is the better game.

    although im kinda saddened with how bulletstorm played for me i had such high hopes for it and feel really let down by it tbh...

    If you want a long-lasting multiplayer, go for Crysis

    If you want a unique single-player experience, go for Bulletstorm

    You can get Bulletstorm on PS3 for €32 new delivered on Gamestop this week http://gamestop.ie/39553_PlayStation_3_Bulletstorm_Limited_Edition_Easter_promo_.aspx

    Go on, get both ;) Bulletstorm is great, just doesn't have a competitive multiplayer

    Bulletstorm's opening 40 (or so) minutes is supposedly its weakest part according to reviews. I hope you stuck with it past that.

    There is value in having a game that is fun in 30 minute blasts (not that you meant to imply otherwise).

    any game that lets you command a giant robotic dinosaur called Wallington P. Tallylicker deserves a play through tbh

    Crysis is better but Bulletstorm is also enjoyable just no where near Crysis levels.

    I only played Crysis 2, but I would not afraid to recommend it over bullet storm.

    I checked alot of videos and alot of reviews ( newer make up my opinion just on one review ) and it looks fun, but only 45 min long fun. After you will make a few of those kills, if will be just a grind...

    Crysis is great bargain now. Good looking, good game play, decent multiplayer if you get on to play with local Irish/uk fellas.

    Heres the plan: buy bulletstorm, finish it, then trade it for Crysis 2, ?????? = profit.

    Just hate to see publishers getting any credit for games they didn't develop.

    You'd be surprised how many people think the publisher made the game.
    I'm sure you just misspelled Team Bondi in the other post...:p

    I'm not sold on Crysis 2. The MP is just alright, the SP I find doesn't really hold my interest too well. I know I'm in the minority, but the game just doesn't really work for me!

    Bulletstorm, on the other hand, is incredible fun to play, and yes, it only really gets going about 30 minutes in. It's so brainless, but in the most positive way imaginable. Loved every second of it.

    I was under the impression that while People Can Fly were the "main" developers, Epic did have a hand in the development/design of Bulletstorm. If not, what exactly did Epic do, considering EA published it.
