GUN™

The story is set in late 19th century America, specifically in the Old West, and involves finding the lost city of Quivira, where this is lot of gold to be mined. Its somewhat of an open world game, and the player gets to backtrack between cities. There are quite a few side missions as well, and completing these missions reward the player with cash, which can be used to buy weapons and upgrades. The game has a thoroughly budget feel to it. It is a poor man's Red Dead Redemption. The save system is confusing. It appears that you can save the game at any point, but when you load the game (and you have to quit the current game to do so), it begins at the start of the mission. There is no auto checkpoint system to go along with the manual save system. There were times when I forgot to manually save the game, and I lost progress. Very annoying. I would much rather have a manual save system, and a quick save system, but modern games have taught me to expect a checkpoint system, which I loathe. Visually, the game looks alright. There is no support for widescreen resolutions. I played the game at 1600x1200. I have a computer that is dedicated to playing older games, and on a 1080p monitor, the game is very playable. I would not play this game on my ultrawide monitor because it would not scale very well, and it would end up looking awful. By far the worst aspect of this game are the boss battles. They are horrible. It feels as if the enemies cheat, and have wall hacks the way can shoot you when you peak from behind the cover for a second. This gets really annoying towards the end. I had to find a way to cheese my way through because it was damn near impossible to play fair and square. Its possible that the reason I had this problem because I did not play any of the side missions, however, that means there is a problem with scaling the difficulty of the boss battles. - Bad boss battles - General budget feel of the game - Weird save system Verdict - Worth about $2.

It would be nice if this means GOG will release CALL OF JUAREZ soon!

I wanted to check this game out because it was made by Neversoft, the developers of the renowned Tony Hawks series, however, after playing it i would say if you're not an absolute super-duper mega thps-fan you should go play something else. Unfortunately bad difficulty balancing and a racist portrayal of indigenous cultures make this a bad time on top of the forgettable main story.
