GUN is a wonderful game from Activision, that was developed by the people who make Tony Hawk for the consoles, Neversoft. Many have under-rated this game, due to the fact that it's about 10 hours long, but in my opinion, the story would have been compromised if it were stretched out. Also there is the point that this is Neversoft's second game that isn't Tony Hawk (Spider-Man for the N64 and everything else was also made by them) and they should be given some credit just for that reason. The graphics in the PC version are lifted straight from the 360 and it shows, with great player models and beautiful, almost surreal enviorments. By using bump mapping, the textures on everything gain some depth such as the ruffles on a shirt or the leather on boots. The music is just as good in GUN, featuring the old western styled music you would come to expect and the voice-overs are superb. The weapon sounds in this game are quite good andd feel realistic. In GUN you play as a hunter turned adventurer, Colt, who is trying to avenge his "father's" death and find out why he and a steamboat full of people were killed. The game feels great and a standard Gamecube controller or WASD configuration works wonderfully in practice, the controls feel ultra-smooth and the animations are gripping. In GUN you basically can explore the vast landscape as much as you want but be warned, bandits will roll on you. In some way or another, you are always drawn back to the great story missions and side missions that are used to up stats and make money for better weapons and items. I enjoyed every second of this game and I hope you will too.
