This game has what it takes to be called "fun", only if it had continued...
If only, If only, the game was too short. It had a good story, fun, quick paced combat, and a nice selection of upgrades and powerups for your weapons, horse, quickdraw (a slow motion system used to kill mutiple enemies at once with only the pistols) and many other useful features in the game. If activision took the story a bit further and didnt just build it up then bring it down with a steep drop, it would have been a game worth playing for a while.
Side missions after that seem a bit bland and repetitive, even the though the combat system can be addictive. I must admit, getting bored and going around town starting up fights can be entertaining, but just not enough.
If they added more side missions, maybe some more civilian textures, and lengthened the story, it would be a far more enjoyable game to play.
Is it worth buying and playing through?
-Definately, its graphics arent too shabby as well. I replayed the game 5 times through, catching new things every time and having fun shooting it up with enemies using the weapons I just upgraded or recieved from defeating a tough boss.
Its a great game with good value, so, Ill give it the rating it deserves.
