Recv'd in GOOD condition , used . . with booklet and case.
This game is addicting and very fun! I had some difficulty aiming the Flaming Death Rose thingie but it was dang cool when it hit. Her different rifle configs were pretty neat. The enemies are ruthless and numerous , kind of a pain! But hey that's why she's got unlimited refills on ammo! LoL
Easy to play and good - looking game! I recommend it

...Then bullet witch would be a great primer on what an unfinished game looks like. The game must have gotten pulled out of development about 6 months too early, thats really the only way I could possibly explain how bad the final product is. The graphics are really bad - like pretty decent for ps2 graphics bad. Shading is done via hashing rather than smooth blending, smoke effects are awful, and the textures are laughable. Collision detection is basically non-existent - in the first level of the game you can easily walk through dumpsters, oil drums, and other random stuff strewn about the level. Your enemies will sometimes get stuck in walls waiting for you to shoot them. The destructable environments stink too. Everything breaks apart in big uniform chunks as if the entire world was made of styrofoam. Not exactly realistic. The voice acting is SO bad its fantastic. I loved the cut scenes because they were always guaranteed to deliver a laugh. Level design is completely uninspiring - they are the most linear levels I've played since super mario brothers. No exploration, no hidden areas, you are literally cattle herded where you need to go. Will give bullet witch props for 3 things. The story is actually pretty decent with a nice unexpected plot twist, between your gun and your spells - you can really "bring the noise" as they say. You can wipe out droves of enemies and while your gun is a really pain to aim the fact that it has different modes like machine gun, shotgun, sniper, etc is pretty cool. Finally after beating the game, the closing cinematic where you finish off the boss is the best ending to a video game ever...period. It is entirely worth running through bullet witch at least once to experience the ending - a perfect cap on a very campy strange game.

I got this game based on a preview video I watched. Sexy girl, big guns, stuff blowing up, whats not to like right? Boy was I wrong. There is very little to do in this game. Theres no ammo to pick or health to find (you have unlimited ammo and your health regenerates pretty fast). The enemy AI is horrible as well as your allies. Aiming your weapon is difficult and jerky. You run FOREVER through unnecessarily vast landscapes. There is very little challenge. I played the game for a few HOURS praying for something interesting to happen. Finally after two or three stages, I come upon what i perceived to be a boss. Big guy 4 or 5 stories tall with a giant machine gun for an arm. Yes! Finally something to do...I killed him with one spell...seriously...I didn't even have to move. I could go on and on but I wont. Dont buy this game, dont rent it, forget it ever existed.

I'll do this one level by level.
Lvl. 1: Starts out dull and boring. Enemies look dumb and their AI isn't any better. To progress through the level, you have to shoot brain-monsters, which allows you access deeper into the area. My first impression was, 'This is incredibly outdated gameplay.' Still, it was nice blowing things up. After a bit, you reach the enemy tank, and you're given a powerful lightning spell. From here on, I was all smiles. The major spells in Bullet Witch are ridiculously overpowered and it's great fun pushing flaming cars into enemies, or blowing up entire buildings.
Lvl. 2: City level. It's a bit too spacious- too many wide stretches with nothing going on. What makes it worse is that the main chacracter, Alicia, cannot run very fast. You can't hit 'A' for example and sprint. It's just click, click, click of her high heels, over and over again. I did have fun taking out the enemy soldiers as they collected in a big group underneath their helicopter, and for the first time, you face snipers. These guys can do one hit kills, so there's a lot of dodging going on. In actuality, I kind of appreciated the one hit kills. I like playing as a sniper in most games. Snipers don't get enough credit.
Lvl. 3: Down through the manditory sewer level. Every game has a sewer level. After the sewers, it's on to the airport terminal. More enemies, more snipers, you can shoot out the overhead glass, and you face these weird creatures that look like the exploding enemies in Halo, but with Asian Ghost Girl faces. From the terminal, you head on to the plane. There is a boss fight on the plane, and you're literally ON the plane. Not IN the plane. I thought this was incredibly inspired game design. Of course, the boss kicks your butt over and over again until you figure out how to cast your third Lightning spell. Hint: Jump to the tail to shoot it in the mouth, and go from there . . .
Lvl. 4: Now walking along train tracks, heading towards some mining-type facility. Big explosion here. Good fun. Just be careful where you are standing when it all gets blown to hell.
Lvl. 5. Arriving at the militia HQ. Lots of gunplay. Plus, you get the tornado spell. Cast it as much as you can. It's awesome. AWESOME.
Final Lvl. It's back to the city again, to finish off the boss. The boss fight is kind of tedious, especially because the boss' shields recharge over and over again. Why couldn't it be a one and done? You'll do a lot of dodging, healing of soldiers and tons of shooting. Personally, I enjoyed the boss fight. It was long and drawn out, but thankfully straightforward. I never got thrown a curve, like, NOW THE BOSS CAN DO THIS, DIDN'T WE WARN YOU? That kind of stuff feels cheap to me.
Once you beat this monster, it's game over. Still, you can replay the game and keep levelling up your spells / weapons.
Of course, there are some bad things-
-Alicia cannot sprint, and worse, she cannot dodge and shoot at the same time. The game SCREAMS for this simple ability. Also, the crouch feature is useless.
-Enemy AI is all over the place. Some enemies stand still, letting you blast them away, while others dance around like they're at a rave. There's very little middle ground.
-The game is incredibly short. A playthough, even with the endless final boss fight, takes all of 6 hours. If I had bought this game new and at full price, I'd probably feel cheated.
-Bonus content (new costumes / different playable scenarios) is LIVE download only.
But the destruction . . . that makes it all worthwile.

The premise of this game is that the world has basically ended due to a string of tragedies like earthquakes, wars, etc. Oh. And then all of the sudden zombies demons pop up. Enter a gothic looking babe toting a Bigger-than-she-is broomstick shaped machine gun, who is (for some reason) going to shoot her way through the hordes of zombie soldiers to save us all. Sweet, right?
As far as I am concerned, for a video game - that's actually a fine premise. On top of that the design on the main character is pretty nifty. In fact, it was nifty enough for me to pick this up out of the bargain bin and take it home.
Thats when I played the game, and instantly regretted the $10 I had just lost. Truth is there is no way the developers looked at the final product and went, "Yes. This is exactly what we envisioned. It's Perfect And Without Flaw."
Now, the game is technically playable. But realistically it is so broken that it's just not worth your time and/or money.
The biggest issue is not the halfway-there stage layouts which are chock full o' pointless and distant dead ends, the terrible dialogue, and the "Well, We Tried" PS2 worthy graphics. It's the fact that the enemy AI is literally retarded. Enemies walk into walls, run around in circles, fire sporadically, sometimes notice you while you're a mile a way and can't see them and sometimes are blissfully unaware that you are right in front of them. If you get a car thrown at you, you have a 50/50 chance that it will kill you instantly or not hurt you at all regardless of whether it actually hits you or not. Most of your time spent playing this game will have you wondering "What The Hell Is Going On?" Not to worry. The game doesn't know either.
Sure there's nfity gun upgrades, and some "somewhat useful" magic (that is a huge pain to use), which helps the game be fun for like 5 minutes... or until you realize that it's not going to get any better.
It's sort of a shame because you can definitely see a really cool game that just needed a little bit of extra attention to live up to it's potential. Sadly, it's just not there, dooming this game to a life in the "Bargain Bin." Which is where it should stay...
