wow, whodathunkit, a platforming game series turns to a first person shooter. Thankfully this isnt just your normal blast bad guys generic shooter.

You play as a strange bounty hunter with no name or past. He hunts for criminals and wants moolah to have an operation.........but for what. Im not telling you anymore, but the story is very well done.

the game lets you shoot in fps style, or beatemup 3rd person view style. The beat em up style is not used much in the game, its just punch and head butt, nothing special. The shooting is the main thing in this game. You have one gun....................ya you think thats pretty lacking.......anyways you have a crossbow that the stranger uses live ammo for. The live ammo is really nice, you have many different critters that do different things. You can have some that act like killer bullets, some that stun, some that lure, and some that blow the hellup out of things. Lots of variety of ammo.

The game requires you to be stealthy and strategic at times. You use some ammo to lure and pick of enemies so you dont have to be overwhelmed by a lot of them.

The graphics in this game are gorgeous. The characters, the landscapes. All very nice, except the interior levels for some reason....they all look bland and nothing special. Thankfully you spend most of your time in the outside world.

This games voice acting is very stereotypical western style. If you seen a cowboy movie, you'll know what the acting is like. This game has barely any background music, but it doesnt matter because the enemies always talk.

The best thing about this game is its sense of humor. You encounter many stupid characters, especially the almost extinct tribe that have very funny voices and are always scared.

This game is a very different shooter, these games dont come out much. Its not meant to be missed
