Customer Reviews

A mediocre run 'n' gun shooter in need of improvement
Western games, it's one of the genres we rarely see in video games, and it's one of my personal favorites. Anyway, when I finally got my 360, about 5 months after it came out, GUN was #1 on my rental list, because I wasn't sure about it. The game was practically no where to be found in Blockbuster or Hollywood Video. So I ended up buying it. GUN was a great game...before I beat it the following day.
Basically, you play as Montana hunter Colton White who he and his father Ned hut game, until one day the steam boat they were traveling was ambushed by renegades. Before Ned was killed in the attack, he told Colt that "He ain't his father", and then threw him off the boat. Now Colt is on a quest for vengeful justice. That's basically the whole story in a nut shell. And now Pros & Cons

-THE GOOD-Free roaming old west: good graphics: horse back riding and combat: loads of different, interesting side missions: realistic western age weapons: perfect voice overs: "QUICKDRAW"-a feature that allows you to slow down time and accurately take out multiple enemies at once: virtually no learning curve: save anywhere

-THE BAD-Enemies can almost kill you in a couple shots: Just how unoriginal and stereotypical is this story?: The graphics look good, only from a last-gen perspective: A bit short: overly gory and messy for a game of this genre: boss battles are basically the same, shoot them full of lead until they die

-THE UGLY-Worst free-roaming game ever, the area is like a small, free roaming path: What? No classic western Standoffs like in Red Dead Revolver? Music is cheap: A casual gamer can beat this game 100% in about 3 to 4 days: Story is seriously derived: Why is that my pistols have infinite ammo, but my rifle, sharp shooter, shotgun, and bow do not? Absolutely, positively no multiplayer what so ever

I really wish I rented this game when I had the chance. Now I'm just playing it to unlock the achievements, then after that, trade it or sell it. If you have a PS2/PS3, Xbox, or a 360 that can play Xbox games, try out Red Dead Revolver. I found that game a lot more satisfying than GUN (plus it has mulitplayer, Standoffs, and a cooler name for the slow-motion feature, Dead Eye). GUN is a definite rent.

NOTE TO PARENTS: This game is seriously not for children, it's more bloody than a SAW film, there are many sexual references, some gambling is involved, and the characters curse and swear constantly.

Grand theft auto: spaghetti western
That basically sums up this unrequited gem from the dawn of the 360. After picking this up for just over ten dollars, I was pleasantly surprised to find its incredibly fun. Granted, I played this on easy, for when I see a listing of easy, normal, hard, and insane, I read rather no frustration, some frustration, frustration, and homicidal rage primer. Even on easy this managed to be challenging at points.

You play Cole, a hunter by trade. After your father and you drop off your latest chops to a steamboat, the boat is ambushed by a fake preacher and a detachment of confederate holdouts. After your father is killed, you run to Dodge City at his instruction, carrying a silver token that earns you a deathmark. The story follows like a fairly decent western as you try to unravel your fathers history and the plot of a rogue confederate general.

Along the way, you play cards, hunt wild game, scalp bandits(or innocents), chase down outlaws, and serve as a dodge city deputy. All of these serve to increase stats and supply you with cash for gun upgrades and other improvements. Combat is incredibly fast, and while you can easily be overwhelmed by the materialization of a dozen brigands, your matrix like quick draw powers can easily even the score, and the mechanic is theatrical enough to not ever lose its charm. Sneaking and other non-combat mechanics are rather lame and overly useless, but you'll not really notice. Voices and characters are detailed and engaging, and several voices are perfect for there parts, and despite the main character failing to impersonate Roland Deschain or Clint Eastwood, you'll find yourself rooting for him all the same.

Not much replay value, unless you're a diehard gamerpointer and enjoy frustration, but its a fun experience, an easy 900-ish gamer points, and a story that'll make you smile.

Great game , so many different elements are done masterfully.
Loved this game, people say its short but thats because there is no filler. Th story moves along at a good pace. Alot of really good gaming moments in this. Also not that it is a big deal, but the voice acting is superb. It helps the story so much. I love this game and I can see me playing it again. I can play good games over and over, with maybe a small break. Ths is one of my favorite games on the 360. Such great style. Musc = very good, voice acting = never seen better in a game, Gunplay = entertaining.
