shame any footage i've seen of this game looks HORRIBLE.
it's got a long way to go and even the premise sounds rubbish

Japanese reviews - "it's a bit rubbish". Should fit right into Atari's portfolio.

Darkedge +1. Anyone who is slightly interested, see the some footage first. So far this looks as generic and mediocre as it gets (and i am beeing polite).

It's a shame this doesn't look that hot, because I reckon "Bullet Witch" is one of my favourite game names ever.

BW's main faillings seem to be (from the reviews/coverage I've seen and read).....

Dreadfull aiming controls. Crosshair moves too quickly and has no Halo-style aim assist.
It takes too many button-presses to activate any of the spells, rendering them almost useless.
Getting hit by a telekenetically-flung object results in Instant death and you having to restart from the very-far-apart checkpoints.
Its generally a bit bland and the graphics are rough.

Apart from the spells and the blandness, most of the games quirks/faults sound like they could be fixed if Atari decides to really make an effort during localisation.
If they dont, then it'll be another 360 game I pass over untill it hits bargin-bin prices.

I have seen footage of this game and *gasp* I actually do like the look of this game. And those Japanese review scores are actually pretty solid, it's odd how you're all ignoring the amount of 8s it got.

I mean, I think Halo looks as baldn and cliche as it gets, but does anyone here agree? Bullet Witch just appeals to me more in terms of it's style.
