Bodycount reboots the First Person Shooter with a single-minded focus on delivering best-in-class gunplay. Gamers will experience the intense satisfaction of spectacular close-quarters combat in a shreddable world as players and opponents tear through cover to execute explosive kills.

The barebones essentials to make almost any FPS great.I have grown extremely tired of the Call of Duty/ battlefield/ Halo debates. Gamers have become quite cruel to each other when it comes to these games and they seem to worship these games like they are their holy grail of shooters. I myself miss the days when a new FPS was coming out and EVERYONE was excited about it. There were no flame wars about which game was better or whose graphics were just a bit better, people just wanted to have a good time. Isn't that what games are supposed to be about? I guess I am just a wishful thinker, I better get to the point here. Bodycount throws everything about modern day shooters out the window and I am 100% ok with that idea. This game is all about pure arcade action! Think about the game as a modern day Metal Slug and you will understand what the guys at Codemasters were trying to achieve. Even the ammo and intel pickups you recieve from...

(Los Angeles, California United States) - See all my reviews = Fun: This review is from: Bodycount (Video Game) Like many games I seem to enjoy, this game is getting a pretty bad rep. I'm reviewing this to clear up some information for the more open-minded of you that are kind of on-the-line as to picking Bodycount up or not. Remember, this post is entirely of my own opinion, & I happen to prefer games that are not always AAA titles.First things first, Is Bodycount worth it's $60 price tag? Unfortunately, Bodycount is overpriced. This is a game worth no more than $40. The multiplayer is very typical, and I do not think there will be any downloadable content in this games future. I'm (most likely a little more than half way through the game & playing on the hard difficulty setting) working on the campain mode, and while I'm totally enjoying the game, I expect to finish it within an approx. total of 8 hours. (correction, hard mode took me 14 hours to beat) Is the gameplay enjoyable? Here is the premise: SHRED EVERYTHING IN SITE! If you enjoyed the demo, you're in for more... Read more 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful Better than expected, = Fun: Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Bodycount (Video Game) I played the demo for this game before I got it. Honestly, from the way the demo went I wasn't expecting a whole lot, but it was cheap enough I figured it was worth a shot. Well, it was. No, this isn't like Call of Duty, and it was never meant to be. It's more like those old-school shooters where the enemies are like piñatas full of ammo and whatever else that rain to the ground when they die. It's just plain old rush-in-guns-blazing fun. The weapons selection isn't really impressive, mostly due to the lack of sniper weapons. The guns it does provide are satisfying to use, though. And the cover system, once you get used to it, is actually very impressive--you can take cover virtually anywhere. Now when I play Call of Duty I actually find myself wishing I could peek out from cover like I can in Bodycount.The destructive environment is cool, but sometimes it's actually *too* destructive. In the Nexus levels, in particular, the near-constant sounds of shattering glass... Read more |
