Synopsis:
Activision's Gun is an attempt at the Old West that has real cowboys spinning in their graves.
Features:
XBOX Live, nope.
Co-Op, nope.
Ride whatever horse you can get your hands on even wild mustangs. That's right without Robert Redford having to whisper to it first.
Completed side missions earn you extra cash to spend in town's general store. All two of the towns.
Watchout for foul language.
Review:
Storyline
Typical story line in the Old West, your father is killed by some renegades and you have to avenge his death. Wyatt Earp this is not your Dodge City anymore, its nobody's Dodge City not even Randolph Scott's. Randolph Scott? Watch Blazing Saddles, best Western ever made!
Gameplay
OK with room for improvement. Example, when you target something you really don't have to be dead on to hit it. I'm not one for in the ball park aiming. However, I did like the controls of the horse.
Graphics
The graphics had me scratching my head as some things were very good and some where not. Good things - the horse shoe prints left in the dirt. Bad things - the size of the hands and feet on the characters. The girls at the saloon looked like Bugs Bunny in drag. With all that extra feet hanging over the shoe.
The Bottom Line
Its a renter and definitely not a buyer. I think that Activision can do a lot better. The game is way too short and the landscaping needs to be crisper.
