Depends on the version. 360/PS3 are clear, but the PC release was somewhat gimped (and burdened by GFWL), so you would have to spend some time tweaking it to get the most out of the game.

Other than that, it's great. If you're on the fence, you'll probably enjoy it. The "echoes" give it some Vanquish-style replayability too.

Yeah its worth buying if you plan on playing multiplayer.

I have to say the multiplayer is probably some of the best iv seen in a game in a long time. Lots of room for skill, and teamwork.

wow, no love for bulletstorm huh... I got it on launch day and played it for like 2 weeks.

Personally I'd just say rent it.
The single-player campaign isn't that long, wont take you more than a day or two.
The multiplayer is really only good if you have a group of friends to play it with that you can work well as a team with, otherwise you end up spending way too much time on each wave trying to get everyone to work together.

I bought it and I don't regret it. Had a lot of fun with it and did the campaign twice back to back. Also early access to the Gears 3 beta was a nice bonus.

Nope

If you're in it for campaign don't as it is very short not portal 2 short but close took me about 9 hours to complete however I found like most EPIC games have not much replayability

Not at full price. If you have a decent computer, you can get the PC version for $23 on direct2drive if you get it today.

I would consider buying it... if it were on sale for $5 on Steam.

Otherwise, fuck no.

I really don't get this argument that people throw out when GFWL is attached to a game, yea you have to run it, but you turn on auto sign in and it is nothing more than an extra button click. Hell I just got through the first five chapters and the only time I noticed it was when an achievement popped up. So I personally don't see what "tweaking" you need to do to get the game going.

GFWL is a hassle at the best of times.

More specifically this. GFWL is a hassle, but I don't know how to tweak that part of it.

I bought it and I certainly don't regret it as others have said yes, it's short but it's also one of the most fun games I've played in a really long time. There's plenty of variety in the many way's you can kill an enemy and some really cool stuff in the singleplayer.

The multiplayer is a lot of fun using teamwork to do some really over the top skillshots but it's best played with friends with everyone on a headset. You'll find that in random games you'll get plenty of people that don't know what's going on and fuck up the tagteam skillshots which can easily end up making you fail the round.
