Codemasters' highly unusual, blistering arcade shooter Bodycount will hit European stores on September 2nd, the publisher announced today. The US date is a few days earlier: August 30th.
Developed in the UK at Codemasters' Guildford studio, Bodycount is based around a revolutionary cover system that allows you to shred holes in walls and structures to create dynamic protection for yourself. Enemies drop glowing orbs of 'intelligence' that let you unleash entertaining arcade-style superpowers like incendiary bullets or RUNNING STRAIGHT THROUGH WALLS. It's stylistically interesting, too, saturating its world with colour and distinctively-designed enemies like the menacing black-and-red Target supersoldiers rather than the usual snooze-inducing grey-brown battlefields.
