Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: GTA: OLD WEST? 7.75 OUT OF 10 Comment: I don't like western movies. Mostly because they're boring and not very interesting to watch. The only western movie I actually liked was 3:10 To Yuma, it was an enjoyable movie that every moviegoer should see. Gun is one of the only western games ever made, and there are reasons for that (a.k.a. the porno game Custer's Revenge for Atari 2600). Gun seems to want to be GTA, except in the Old West, and it could have been a spectacular one if developer Neversoft had worked out some kinks in the design choices. Regardless, Gun is an enjoyable romp of a third-person shooter. It's no Resident Evil 4, Max Payne or Advent Rising, but it's fun. WHAT THE GAME IS: You take the role of a man named Colton who is seeking revenge for the murder of his father during a hectic gun battle on a steam boat. So he's hunting a psychotic man known as "The Preacher" and travels to many western towns in search of this man to kill him. GRAPHICS: This game still holds up pretty well for a game from 2005, but I have some gripes about the level designs because they're a bit boring and some of the towns in the game look too much alike. Overall though it looks pretty good, and it's loaded with gore. MUSIC: Fits the western theme nicely, and it doesn't suck either especially during the gun battles. SOUND: The voice-actors are actually pretty good, the way the guns sound seem accurate, and the explosions are a nice touch as well. GAMEPLAY: As I said before, this game is a third-person shooter, and it is a bit of first-person as well. You mostly spend your time shooting Indians to protect bridges, wagons, and towns from being destroyed. You also kill some bandits too. You can buy items on this game as well, and you money comes from completing missions and side-missions like hunting down a wanted fugitive or killing whole groups of bandits. The aiming seemed to be accurate, but it felt like there was some collision detection problems. You can kill enemies most of the time, but the detection is there at times. I loved how you can blow an enemy's head off with a well-placed shot. You can also scalp your enemies if they're still alive on the ground with your trusty knife. You build things like molotov cocktails and set things on fire like people, dogs, and horses. You spend a lot of your time riding horses and even complete some training on how to ride them. To recover your health you drink Whiskey with a simple press of up on the d-pad. You can even make horses trample people on the streets of western towns. You can sneak up behind someone and take them hostage or kill them. This game is loads of fun and there is a lot to do. After all these good things why only a 7.75? The missions are over too soon and some of the wanted missions feel too much alike. But the game does manage to make you forget these problems most of the time. OVERALL: It's worth a buy, and it's not very expensive either. So it won't kill you to try this game. THE GOOD: Lots of blood, lots weapons, lots of enemies to kill, interesting story, funny ways of recovering health, horse-riding is fun, good actors, tons of missions, good music, easy game, and good graphics. THE BAD: Missions are over too soon, some missions are too much alike, and some collision detection problems. Customer Rating: Summary: A good game but a little bloody Comment: I got this for my son and he said it was a great game. It looked good,but it had a little to much blood.

This is what he likes.... -You get to start a showdown -You can ride horses -You can travel a long distance -It has good music -You start up a bar fight -You can hunt people down -You hunt animals -You can play poker Now for the bad things.... -You can shoot heads off -You can cut off the scalp -Arms and legs can get shot off -You chop up Indians with a knife But still a lot of blood. Its a good game! But not for kids. Customer Rating: Summary: Outstanding Comment: This is a fantastic game. A little short, but outstanding. I've played it all the way through at least 3 times already. Customer Rating: Summary: I like the game but watch who you order from Comment: I have played this game before and the game is fun but I bought this game and I still can't get it to work and I bought brand new!!! Customer Rating: Summary: Ride Into The Sunset Comment: Gun is a third person shooter for the XBOX. You play a gunslinger out to avenge the death of your father, who was murdered by outlaws. You go From town to town and accomplish missions which propell the story or take a side-quest to earn more money and develope your skills. The best way to describe this game, is Grand Theft Auto meets the old west. You have huge free-roaming levels. First let me get the negatives out of the way. When you travel through towns you will find NPCs (non player characters) walking about, chatting, there is even random crimes taking place. All these are nice touches and add the atmosphere of the gameplay, but the towns feel a bit empty. You will see rivers and lakes in the levels, but you cannot go swimming. Walking to certain areas of the map will be blocked by an invisible barrier; which subtracts from the fantasy. Although the game is free-form, there are a few linear missions, you have to finish through. Negatives aside, GUN this is still excellent and should not discourage you from making a purchase. There has so many fun things to do; you can ride any horse that is not being used, you get an assortment of weapons like, pistols, rifles, shotguns, dynamite and bow with arrows. You can make stealthy kills with a knife and cut people's throats, become a deputy keep the peace in town, be a bounty hunter and bring down outlaws, hunt bears or wolves, do side missions for other characters or just follow the storyline. There are a lot of elements which will remind you of GTA; except of course you're a cowboy instead of a gangster. Shootouts can be bloody at times as you can make headshots and blow people's brains out. Kids should not be playing this; for adults only. Hurting innocent people causes the law to come after you, but killing criminals is loads of fun (no pun intended). GUN can be exciting, or it can also be laid back if you choose to play that way. So if you like old west actions or western movies and wished a good game existed; this is the one for you! Pros: +best cowboy game available +free roaming levels +excellent story +excellent voice actors +excellent level design +excellent action +excellent controls +excellent sound effects +excellent music +excellent A.I. +fun side quests +weapons can be upgraded +blood and gore Cons; -some towns feel a bit too empty and needs more people -some levels are linear -a few areas have invisible barriers to prevent you from roaming too much -you cannot swim.
