Great shooting game that's over before you know it

Gun is a great shooting game. It's simple interface and controls allow the player to be absorbed into a vibrant violent vision of the wild west in all it's violent gory excellence. The only problem is would be that is all Gun brings to the palette and it's nothing new. The story of gun is a typical wild west tale, nothing special is brought but this is unimportant. The main point it would seem for this game was basically to blow whatever is thrown at you to bits. This may sound like fun and it is but there is no variety to the game itself. Every mission is the same, kill these people, kill those people, blow something up. The side missions are the same as well, even the courier missions have you killing bandits who try to steal your cargo. By the end the player is left not feeling good but just feeling like they killed a whole lot of people. The gore is at times way over the top and unnecessary particularly in the cool but overused 'bullet time' moments. Overall the gameplay of this while not anything new is very fun but at times is over the top and quite inane.
The graphics in this game to put it simply are horrendous. The textures look like an N64 game for the most part but there is some nice lighting and bloom effects to be seen when Colton is riding on his horse through the desert sun. Other then that though it is a rather ugly game and the character models are only decent looking. The characters while ugly though are brought to life by the terrific voice acting notably from Thoman Jane who plays Colton.
Overall Gun is a very decent game and if you want a western game, it is a steal now at just 10 dollars pre owned at many stores. Though it is short Gun is a game you can play through many times as the gun play and shooting is very fun. For many though the over the top violence and lame graphics could be a major turn off. Do not expect Gun to be a long game, it took me 8-10 hours tops to finish everything the game had to offer at a slow pace. I recommend Gun to fans of Western games or to someone just looking for a decent shoot 'em up. For everyone else, it's worth a rent and nothing more.
