360GamerCast Bodycount Review

You are an agent of The Network, sent into third-world hotspots to defuse conflicts by killing dudes and blowing things up. A disembodied female voice guides you through your missions and explains why you are doing what you are doing and whom you are doing it to. The expository loading screens look crisp, but the detached manner in which the story is told keeps you from getting involved. Any illusions you might have about being some kind of warrior for the greater good are dispelled when your handler tells you that you’ve done the world some good by triggering an explosion that kills tens of thousands of people. Bodycount doesn’t devote much bandwidth to storytelling, and even the handful of cutscenes feel more like afterthoughts than integral parts of the experience
