Fun Western style FPS. Great shoot-outs and action, very boring stealth missions. Game should have also been longer.
- This is the first western FPS I've played. Story is certainly good and really keeps you going to the end, unfortunately the game is rather short. The to characrers you play as are Billy and Billy's uncle who is a preacher, suprisingly the preacher is the only fun character to play, Billys style is complete stealth which is kind of odd for a western style game. The preacher, however, is the one blowing people away. Radar is completely useless in the game. SOme of the puzzles can leave you feeling uncertain as to what your ever suppose to do.
Environment & Immersion: 6.5/10
- Maps are pretty decently detailed but can be very miss-leading as to where your supposed to go, even with the compass which might I add is of no help. The game is quite easy to really get into and is addicting untill you get stuck at something and have to retry till its boring. The best part of the game is the gun fights, theres just some thrill about the slow mo shoot out or even just the fact that the shotgun deals a hilarious amount of force against your enemies. The Innocent Person and corpse rule should have been optional under parental controls. It was very annoying when you would be in a gun fight and you accidentally shoot a corpse to many times or a victim out of nowhere and the game just ends.....
Graphics/Physics: 8.5/10
- Much better graphics than what I was expecting. The lighting was almost perfectly done in this game. The amount of blood that spills out of people is almost a joke when you can't even shoot a corpse without the game ending. Blood was still fun. Gun models could have been a bit larger, I felt like every gun was the size of a derringer and that the derringer felt like the "Cricket" from Men In Black.
Sound: 8/10
- The voices were well done, the preacher really did sound like an old rustic, out-west preacher. However, Billy didn't even sound Hispanic which was rather odd when there were other voices in the game that were clearly Hispanic sounding. Gun and explosion sounds made the game all-that-more entertaining.
Bugs, Stability & Performance: 9/10
- No bugs to be found, the loading screens on the other hand were sometimes strangly long, expecially in the first half of the game. Some loading screens took almost 2 minutes to finish, at least there were voice-cut-scenes to listen to while it loaded.
Replay value: 8.5/10
- I can completely see myself coming back to this game just for the gun fights. Multiplayer is also fun just because its one long complicated shoot-out.
Value for money: 6.5/10
- For $30 I can't really complain to much, I do wish it had of been longer and that billy weren't to have been all stealth. Its a so-so amount.
Will this game be remembered by old school gamers as a classic after 10 years?:
- Only for those who are big into Western games. As where some other gamers way not even recall the name.
Who would I recommend to buy the game?:
- Western fans, Any FPS gamer who is wanting to try a different style other than the typicall modern, futuristic, or WWII game.
-----------------------------------------------
Overall: 8 - Fun Western style FPS. Great shoot-outs and action, very boring stealth missions. Game should have also been a bit longer. I would also say this game is often under-rated. This game is certainly a lot of fun, but just has some slow parts.
