I had the opportunity to play Gun on the Xbox 360 back in September at my company's sales conference. I must say that I was impressed with how clean it looked and the quality of the storyline. Unfortunately, it seems that the developers spent too much time perfecting the main story and completely forgot about the side quests. The game was pitched to us as a vast environment covering the terrain from Kansas to Montana. Having played the game, I felt that it was more of a trek from San Francisco to Oakland. There just was not that much to see or do in the game. That being said, the controls were well done, although at times I found them to be a little bit too precise. The script and voice acting were superb along with decent motion capture. The visuals were clean but did not show off the real power of the system (Gears of War will in '06). In fact, at times the PS2 version seemed to have a crisper picture than the 360 version.

All in all, the game did not, along with every other port on the 360, deserve a $10 price hike. You want to charge me $60 for a game, it had better be original. Anyway, save your money and just rent the title.
