I watched the GameTrailers.com video review and wasn't at all impressed by what I saw. Looks like an early first-gen 360 game that's arrived a bit late for the party to me. Also the art design is average at best with a poorly designed lead character aimed at appeasing sexually frustrated teenage boys and harbouring a ridiculous looking weapon. Might have been welcome 6-9 months go but with better games on the way, I'm leaving this one on the shop shelf, thank you.

"In short, Bullet Witch is Japanese fetish gaming in full effect."

SOLD!

"lead character aimed at appeasing sexually frustrated teenage boys"

Oh...

EDIT: Ah, I see it's already out. That was stealthy.

All men are basically sexually frustrated teenage boys, nothing wrong with that

It's when sexual men are sexually frustrated by teenage sexual boys in frustration you have to start worrying. Now that's frustrating.

Good, in-depth review. Like all should be, but aren't. This game has looked like a 6, 7 tops, to me since I saw it the first time. Witches should be armed with a broom and powers like "Rain of HNO3", not fetish guns :P

I don't see how dressing up the lead character in a Schoolgirl Uniform would ever appeal to sexually frustrated teenage boys.

Oh.

Scored higher than anticipated. Might be a budget pick-up.

Any word on the game length/replayability?

I wonder who the sad fuck is that keeps giving 1's to every 360 game released. Be a man and speak out.

Alicia is occasionally given tips by a spectral voice in her head - often something to do with weak spots, believe it or not...

OMG! Is the voice acting done by the "attack it's weak spots for massive damage" guy? He would be a brilliant man for the role.

Sadly(?), he got an exclusive deal with Sony.

not too bad a game! quite an enjoyable shoot'em'up - best not spending £40 on it though.

I enjoy playing a mindless shooter from time to time so I might pick this up when it's down to 10 quid.

Anyone watch Heroes? Well on episode 18 a central character was seen to be playing Heavenly Sword on the PS3, I was like ''Uh huh, that's not possible, it's not even out yet,stupid!'' My girlfriend was sooo impressed by my sad gaming knowledge that she sucked me off there and then.

Harsh review! Id give it an 8. I played the first level yesterday and loved every minute of it. The review didnt mention that you can help hurt people...providing you dont mind showering them with your own blood from your wrist, at your own HPs expence (which quickly regenerates anyway)

Unfortunately not. I'd like to try the game myself as the videos suggest its framerate is a bit iffy when things are busy onscren.

rented it from blockbuster and not the truly bad game people have made it out as. Completed the first level and it was ok, not worth full price

This looks good for a mindless quick-go pissabout. The criticism that it's akin to a last-gen/early next-gen title is forgivable considering it only costs as much as a PS2 game (at ShopTo, at least)

Its not THAT bad, but it could definitely do with some sort of auto-aim system.

Well, I'm enjoying it. A 7 for me. The magic's cool and I like the fact there's no autoaim. Played on hard, it's quite a challenge.

What i've noticed that the most Japanese games doesn't get high score from us western people. N3 didn't get high score and that game is good and good graphics. at least an 8!

Arrived in the post today.

Frame rate is total garbage much of the time. Even the first scene you start in drops below 30 with no soldiers depending on which direction you look in. I'll try to give it a proper chance later, but it really is quite poor in this respect. Shame as the style is my 'thing'.

Also note: the downloadable costumers on the JP marketplace servers do -not- work on the Euro version - maybe I'll try some HD trickery later, but for now we don't have the costumes it seems.

Yup it seems the costume download thing is not set up for Europe.
Also having just played and loved Crackdown the lack of any aim assist or lock-on really hurts the game play. Oh the voice acting is astonishingly bad for the enemy soldiers. The graphics do vary considerably from amazing to sub Gun Valkyrie..... So it is total and utter rubbish? No, ignore the flaws (tricky there are many) and you find an enjoyable game.

6/10 sounds about right

Yeah, doesn't play too badly, just had a few hours with it. Shame it gets so choppy in places, but that Willpower spell brings good times. Hope they give us the costumes soon ;)
