Why Not More GOOD Western Games? April 27, 2008
Steven D. Hanks (Ohio, USA)
GUN is by far the best western genre game since Oregon Trail. Now, let us not truly compare the two, since they are from different eras. The fact is, GUN is an excellent standard by which to compare future western games. The problem is, there are not that many in the genre. The horseback riding, the mechanics, and the entire scope of the game make the player truly feel like they are in the 1800s. Bottom line, at such a bargain price, buy GUN, you will not be disappointed.
Gun, could have been longer. March 10, 2008
Justin Michael Bell (San Francisco, CA USA)
This was a very fun game with great graphics and gameplay. The only problem is that this game could have been so much LONGER! It was way too short, and I am going to be mad if there isn't a GUN II !!
 A good deal at bargain bin prices July 16, 2007
gram parsons (Tuscaloosa, AL USA)
Picked this up at a big box electronic retailer for 16 bucks. At that price, it is worth it. I'm glad I didn't pay 50 or 60 bucks for it when it was new, as full priced games like Gears of War and Forza 2 really put the quality of this work to shame.
However: at this price it's a fun, mindless little distraction from your better, more expensive games. Bored with Gears? Tired of racing? Gun's a nice, inexpensive way to get some shooting action in. Not as complicated as some of the other shooters out there.
I'm just sorry for the folks who bought it full price at launch.
 The best 360 title to date June 27, 2007

This is what GoW tried to accomplish, but failed to.
Great game, almost justifies the 360 purchase.
A mediocre run 'n' gun shooter in need of improvement June 6, 2007
Pa4d (Jacksonville, FL USA)
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.
