The Western As It Should Be,
By Christopher Southworth "Chris Southworth" (Regina, Saskatchewan Canada) - See all my reviews
Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: Gun (Video Game)
The dirt, grime and sawdust of the Old West are nearly palpable in this title from NeverSoft, legendary creators of the Tony Hawk series. Realistic voice work by an A-list cast including Lance Henrikson, Thomas Jane and Tom Skerritt complements a trip into the heart of the untamed West. Unfolding like a Louis L'Amour novel, the plot is rich and full of twists -- this game is not only a graphic feast for the eyes, but a chance to live the life of a rough and tumble gunhand in a lawless land.Guard stagecoaches, race to deliver with the Pony Express and fight off a band of ruthless indians as they attack a train... All of the standard Western cliches show up, but with a gleeful immediacy and urgent demeanor. A few chances to overcome the stereotypes show up, such as a mission wherein the main character frees a group of indians prior to their torture and murder by army troops break the mold of the typical Western plot. Parents beware - this game features a few surprises for the unwary, and may offer a more realistic depiction of Western life thn you may expect. Blood and gore abound in this tale of the uncompromising nature of life in the ever-expanding drive to the left coast -- enjoy the game for its innovation and smooth handling. Enjoy the game for its roster of talent. Enjoy the game for the chance to live the dream of seeing the West as it was, or enjoy the game for the chance to get bloody revenge on the men who killed your pa -- the reasons are there for you to discover, but like the land that inspired it, enjoy the game for the multitude of possibilities that await you.

Grand theft auto: spaghetti western,
By Brian Long "Brian" - Published on Amazon.com
Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: Gun (Video Game)
That basically sums up this unrequited gem from the dawn of the 360. After picking this up for just over ten dollars, I was pleasantly surprised to find its incredibly fun. Granted, I played this on easy, for when I see a listing of easy, normal, hard, and insane, I read rather no frustration, some frustration, frustration, and homicidal rage primer. Even on easy this managed to be challenging at points.You play Cole, a hunter by trade. After your father and you drop off your latest chops to a steamboat, the boat is ambushed by a fake preacher and a detachment of confederate holdouts. After your father is killed, you run to Dodge City at his instruction, carrying a silver token that earns you a deathmark. The story follows like a fairly decent western as you try to unravel your fathers history and the plot of a rogue confederate general. Along the way, you play cards, hunt wild game, scalp bandits(or innocents), chase down outlaws, and serve as a dodge city deputy. All of these serve to increase stats and supply you with cash for gun upgrades and other improvements. Combat is incredibly fast, and while you can easily be overwhelmed by the materialization of a dozen brigands, your matrix like quick draw powers can easily even the score, and the mechanic is theatrical enough to not ever lose its charm. Sneaking and other non-combat mechanics are rather lame and overly useless, but you'll not really notice. Voices and characters are detailed and engaging, and several voices are perfect for there parts, and despite the main character failing to impersonate Roland Deschain or Clint Eastwood, you'll find yourself rooting for him all the same. Not much replay value, unless you're a diehard gamerpointer and enjoy frustration, but its a fun experience, an easy 900-ish gamer points, and a story that'll make you smile. 7 of 9 people found the following review helpful

Great game , so many different elements are done masterfully.,
By Karl M. Kierstead - Published on Amazon.com
Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: Gun (Video Game)
Loved this game, people say its short but thats because there is no filler. Th story moves along at a good pace. Alot of really good gaming moments in this. Also not that it is a big deal, but the voice acting is superb. It helps the story so much. I love this game and I can see me playing it again. I can play good games over and over, with maybe a small break. Ths is one of my favorite games on the 360. Such great style. Musc = very good, voice acting = never seen better in a game, Gunplay = entertaining.

I loved this game...as soon as I got use to the controlls the game was a blast. The wild west at it's funnest. Riding horses, shooting American Indians, working the pony express, killin bad guys, taking bounties, it's a blast. Give it a try long enough to get used to the controlles and you'll love it!! :)
