This should have been a fairy tale. Once upon a time, there was a game called Black on the PlayStation 2. Although it didn’t sell particularly well, it was one of the finest first-person-shooters on the system, and those that played it loved it for its...
Engaging run-and-gun gameplay, Satisfying weapons and lots of big bangs...
Patchy graphics, Pitifully poor AI...
On paper, Bodycount is a disaster, with woeful AI, patchy graphics and generic missions. In the flesh, it’s still pretty rough, but more engaging and exciting than it has any right to be...

In Bodycount we are an employee of The Network, a global organisation which answers to no-one, being above the law and looking to save the world by resolving conflicts across the globe. At the start of the game we are dropped into central Africa and ta...

Thankfully, were coming to the end of what has quite frankly been another poor summer for video games. Granted we've seen a couple of good looking games (Deus Ex) but other than that it's been another shocker. But there's light at the end of the tunnel in...

Here's the best thing about Codemasters' FPS Bodycount : instant restarts. Should you be the unfortunate recipient of a minigun volley to the kneecaps, your character will have barely hit the ground before you've slapped A and are tearing back into bat...

With the gaming industry, especially the First Person Shooter genre, heavily dominated by titles such as Call of Duty and Halo, it makes you wonder if there is room at the top for another big name title. Unfortunately, while Bodycount does think outsid...

My love for gaming has always been limited to a certain type of game; usually military in nature or at least an FPS that allowed for some sort of online cooperative or strategic multiplayer in mind; games like Rainbow Six or Ghost Recon. But from time...

ADVERTISEMENT Bodycount is a very simple game. It hands you guns, a virtually unlimited supply of ammunition coupled with enough explosive power to level an entire country and encourages you to go shoot people in the face. In doing so it even throws...

is a game that mostly slipped under the radar, as it didn’t have a particularly large ad campaign associated with it. Nor has it been drawing a significant amount of attention. While the title might not immediately inspire anything more than a quizzic...
When handed a bat and given a real opportunity to swing for the fences, Guildford Studio ends up bunting, as Bodycount might appease someone, somewhere, but for the most part, it’s not a particularly pleasant experience by any means. The story is okay...

The story is interesting (somewhat) but not very well developed during gameplay. You are an asset in The Network, a group that is above states and corporations and independent of the rules, in other words, global vigilantes. Something is amiss in Afric...

When Black was released in 2006, I found it a most frustrating experience. It was incredibly stylish and looked gorgeous for its time, featuring some amazing environmental destruction and a bold artistic approach. However, something about it just fel...

There's certainly a place for back to basics arcade shooters, but the reality is games like Call of Duty already have that area of the genre covered - even successful attempts like Bulletstorm couldn't manage to eat into Call of Duty's audience. Codema...

Bodycount doesn't tell a gripping story. Bodycount puts a gun in your hands and gives you enough bullets to tear through anything and everything in your path. Bodycount succeeds some of the time in this endeavor, but like any dangerous military operati...
Bodycount benefits from a solid core, and plenty of moments entertained me throughout the campaign, including some of the more intense gunfights. But the disconnect between Bodycount's chaotic visual spectacle and its precise scoring system drive a lar...
