Meet Alicia Claus, daughter of Santa Claus and a girl who is ready to kick your ass and use impressive witchcraft. Okay, so she`s not the daughter of Santa, but she is ready to kick your ass and use all kinds of weird magic. Alicia is a tortured soul full of mysteries and angst, but best of all she carries around a giant gun shaped like a broom that is really good at killing anything that moves, no matter if it`s human or not. It`s six years in the future and humanity is on the verge of extinction due to natural disasters, starvation, wars, epidemics and a sudden appearance of an army of evil, twisted monsters. Apparently Ms. Claus and her witch craft is the only person that can save the day. Actually, forget about the set up, did I mention that she`s packing a giant gun shaped like a broom?

Needless to say Bullet Witch is not the type of game you can take very seriously. After all, this is a game where you play a busty babe in high heel boots who runs around killing evil demons with her magic abilities and giant gun. But who needs realism, every so often you just need to turn your brain off and enjoy a game that makes almost no sense and is nothing more than an excuse to kill thousands of bizarre creatures. Unfortunately Bullet Witch isn`t as cool as its campy story and presentation; instead we get a short, mindless romp through one boring level after another. With its attractive lead character and silly set up I wanted to love this game, but in the end I was left disappointed in almost every way.

Bullet Witch starts when Alicia comes to town ready to right some wrongs, and from the very start she`s greeted by a welcoming committee full of Geist Soldiers, a group of creepy half-dead beings that look like they`ve been decomposing in the ground for a few weeks (for what it`s worth the instruction manual suggests that they like dirty jokes, so maybe they aren`t all bad). You begin your quest in the suburbs and then make your way to a post-apocalyptic cityscape. Unfortunately these two levels prove to be the most interesting areas, other locations involve you running through a forest during the day, a forest during the night, an army base and an underground sewer. It`s not that these levels don`t make sense in the context of the story, but none of the levels feel very inspired.

Bullet Witch a pure action game, so don`t go into this game expecting some sort of deep role-playing or strategy elements. Instead we get an almost limitless amount of bad guys to shoot, which is pretty fun for the first couple levels. You basically run around these linear environments looking for enemies to shoot and then you shoot them. From time to time you will need to open colored gates, in order to do this you have to track down a large brain-like creature hovering in the air. At first these large brains seem peaceful, but soon you`ll realize that they have the ability to make other objects hover (cars, trucks, etc.) and throw them at you killing you in one hit. Oddly enough these floating brains that never move prove to be the hardest enemies in the game.

But maybe it`s not that these brain enemies were hard so much as it was the other enemies are too easy. I`m not a stickler for great artificial intelligence or anything, but the enemies in Bullet Witch don`t even try. There are times in this game when you can literally run circles around a baddie and he won`t notice (or shoot at you). When and why enemies will attack you seem almost random, there are certainly times when a bi...
