GUN™

This game is absolutely fun. Gripping story telling, well crafted but short cut scenes, great game-play and a perfect western setting. This was RDR before the existence of RDR. Anyone who hasn't played it yet, just buy it and start playing. I promise you, you won't be disappointed. While the graphics is dated by today's standard, everything else is absolutely timeless in this 10 to 12 hour single player campaign.

I remember playing this on the ps2 and xbox 360 and it still holds up today both story and its simple gameplay if any game needed an modern remaster this is it

The graphics are a bit old, and it's a console port. So, the world has alot of flat surfaces, and there is almost zero ground clutter. And there are lots of brief loading screens (but they load quickly enough to never be annoying). The voice acting is good, and the story is very good, very much like a scripted movie. Everything you might expect from a classic western movie is here. It has a little bit of open-world to explore, mostly to look for gold spots that you can mine for extra money. Gameplay was as a bit tricky when I first started playing, but the game quickly gets easier after you get used to the controls and earn a few upgrades. There were a couple missions in the game that I had trouble completing, but eventually figured them out after several attempts. The ending boss fight is very hard, and annoying. I had to watch a video to get some ideas, and it was still hard even after that. Many, many re-loads to finally get it done. Overall, the game is great though. I had alot of fun. I highly recommend this game!

GUN is a very weird game. It is presented and marketed as if it's an Old West-styled GTA-type game: a sandbox world with lots to explore and do; but in reality, GUN is actually, essentially, a PS2/Gamecube/Xbox-era action-adventure game with a big hub world, like Ty 2 or Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy. You only have a few basic weapon types, and get straight upgrades to each slot over the course of the game; you do side missions to increase your stats; you get health upgrades for finishing main quests; you buy passive upgrades from shops; there are some boss fights; there's even a collectable in the form of minable gold deposits. If you take the game in this light, I think it's more enjoyable probably than if you go in expecting simply a poor man's RDR. The graphics are mediocre for the time the came out, and the game doesn't support widescreen natively (although there's a fan patch that fixes this). The music tends toward generic sweeping faux-John Williams orchestral stuff which mostly does not fit the game very well. The story is a generic, mediocre western, which feels like it is being told in fast forward: no plot events have any time to breathe, and there's almost no characterization. You soon realize how small the world is, and almost every level takes place within its confines; there's not much in the way of exploration to do: you'll know the world like the back of your hand a third of the way through the story. The side missions are mostly generic- races, escort missions, etc, with a frustrating poker tourney minigame that you have to beat six rounds of to get 100%. The game tracks your progress in percentages, but there's no reward for getting 100%, and you can get all the upgrades with about 80% completion I'd guess. Even getting 100%, the game probably didn't take me more than eight hours, but better that than it overstays its welcome. Overall, GUN is thoroughly mediocre, surprisingly goofy at times, and worth playing only if you NEED another western game.
