Gun Review

Neversoft, the developers who brought the world Tony Hawk Pro Skater(and related) have FINALLY decided to bring the world a new Western genre game. I'm a fan of the Western Genre, but it's seriously lacking on all current systems. With the only other western game being Red Dead Revolver, Gun has no oppistion. Neversoft took a gamble on a completly different genre than the one they're used to, and, while they didn't lose, they really only broke even.

The game is solid. The gameplay, the story line, the voice acting and the charectors are all well designed. The only thing that suffers is the graphics, which, while not being bad, they aren't great. But the game suffers little from glitches, so what it lacks in beauty, it makes up for in seam-less play.

The game follows Colton, a leather faced, ornery looking man, who oozes cool like a fat guy with the runs. Colton gets in deep trouble, loses his father and has to hunt down a one eyed villian by the name of Magruder. The story is VERY good and you won't know where the storyline is taking you until the end. You actually WANT to know what is going to happen, a rare thing these days.

The game itself takes place in the old west. Now, the map isn't huge. Infact, it's a little smaller than GTA3's Liberty City, but the terrain and things to see and do make up for it. The side missions are fun, but there aren't many of them, and once you max out your stats, there's nothing to do, except start again.

But you can do things like hunt down wanted felons, taking them Dead or Alive of course. You can run for the Pony Express, be a deputy and clear out the lawless out of town, or, my favorites look for gold or hunt the great beasts. Looking for gold is fun, not to mention it makes you rich, and hunting is challenging and takes practice.

But these things end quickly, and when you finish the game, you'll wish there was more to do and more to buy.

The game is still solid and extremly fun. Using QuickDraw to kill your opponents is not only fun, it's essential and it's the only way you can kill a whole army of enemys in 5 seconds. Every feature in the game is fun and usefull, which is ALSO very rare these days, as most developers like to cram as many useless features into games as possible.

This game may be short, but if it takes off, it may inspire other developers to drop their Plasma Cannon's in favor of a revolver.
