Gun draws, and hits close to the bullseye
Gameplay: This is gonna get a little rough so bear with me. GUN is really a standard 3rd person action/adventure game. It combines shooter aspects with a hint of melee, and grabbing. There is an all popular feature called gunslinger mode where you go into 1st person and everything slooows on down so you can pick off enemies one by one......(like we all didn't see the bullettime thing coming yeah right). Your given all sorts of weapons from a standard six shooter, to a long range rifle, to a bow and arrows. The inventory system is easy to manage, and choosing what firearm you want in heated situations is a breeze. The aiming of weapons can get really tedious, especially when foes are on horseback. Riding horses is really fun, and makes you feel like you just stepped into the the Good the Bad and the Ugly. The fact that you can kill your horse by spuring him too much is kind of retarded though....I mean the last time I checked it took more than a light tap to the midsection to take a strong animal like a horse down. AI is honestly....horrible...I remember the mission where you had to protect the chinamen from the attacking Apaches, when the Apaches would reach the chinamen.....they would just stand there instead of running for their lives. Also your allies will just stand in the middle of a battle instead of getting to cover.
Graphics: There Really is no difference between the Xbox360 version...and the other 1st generation consoles, they all have the same textures, models, even framerate. Character models look great and are well animated in cutscenes. However when it comes to in game, they're all kind of stiff. Animation in game is seriously ugly....with hella' glitches. There are occasions where you or the people around you can run right through various world objects.....I once saw a horse fuse right into another horse.
Audio: This is the true highlight of GUN. The Audio is beautiful. Neversoft gathered a grade A cast, with Thomas Jane as Colton, Kris Kristofferson, and Lance Henrikson, just to name a few. There is an Orchestrated score and it sounds beautiful, like music (literally) to your ears.
Overall: It's not the best.....but it's far from bad. Definitely better than 50cents Bulletproof (I'm sorry but that is just the worst game I have ever played besides rascal). If you like the old west, and you like open ended action/adventure games, give this one a shot.
