ZZZzzzzzzzzzzz.... Oh, sorry! This game had put me to sleep. Read on and I will tell you why.
The cut scenes are done in faded, blurry, low resolution, black and white, as if this is supposed to be a very old Western film reel I suppose. Rather than pull off any sort of authenticity however, they simply look terrible, not that the story they present is worthy of your attention anyway.
In highly linear fashion, you move from point A to point B, killing various bad guys as you go until you reach the end of the level and kill some boss character and then lucky you gets to see the next cutscene for your reward. In one level I'd killed them all I thought and kept wandering about trying to get the damned boss to just spawn so I could kill him too and end this torment, but no.... I must have wasted some 10 minutes screwing around before I stepped on the magic spot that caused him to appear and begin tossing knives at me.
If the game has a save system, it wasn't readily apparent to me so I found myself having to reload multiple times to get through the early levels on standard difficulty. Getting sick of this, I wimped out and took the easy level of difficulty for the purpose of seeing some more of the game before abandoning ship altogether.
I tried the multiplayer which also is lacking and played a little western shoot-out briefly, became bored and left. I tried again the next night I played and found nobody home. I guess they all feel asleep too and were perhaps still taking siestas after time spent with this title. I feel thier pain.
On a bright note, I only paid a few bucks for this in a EB Games clearance bin as a used title. I guess somebody with little conscience sold it back so some other hapless gamer could suffer - misery does love company.
It isn't often I have such disdain for a game but I've long wanted to enjoy a decent Western themed shooter and basically there hasn't been one since Lucas Arts gave us Outlaws. Maybe Gun will be better. I certainly hope so.
When it comes to this game my advice folks is to get the hell outta Dodge right now! You're gonna need to saddle up and ride elsewhere if you want some real western themed shooter fun as there isn't any to be found here.
