One of the Best Shooters of the Era

I played the demo of Outlaws as a kid and loved it, but never got a copy until I was an adult. Unfortunately, I couldn't get it to run on Windows. That has all changed with this brilliant release. This game is spectacular. The feel of the environment, music and cutscenes are all top notch. These elements combine with some fairly basic FPS elements to produce an emotional journey as you blast your way through towns full of villains as you pursue your daughter's kidnapper and wife's murderer. While engaging in enemies, you'll pick up weapons and tools to get you places. The game was the first every to use a scope's zoomed view. And digging your way under a building with a shovel is quite wonderful. But the best part of the game is dodging bullet while looking for secrets. Secret rooms could include extra weapons or ammunition or amusing animations that I won't spoil here. Technically, the game runs like a brand new game. It feels good on my widescreen monitor (I'm not sure if it's stretching, but it probably is). All of the graphics show correctly, with correct colors, animation speeds and clarity. Everything is just right. Perhaps my favorite part of the game is that it loads quickly, you can save anywhere at any time, which allows it to fit my schedule. You can play for a few minutes and come back to it later. And that makes this a great hardcore-casual mix of a game for me.

Still as great as I remember!

I played this game ages ago when I was a kid, so after seeing that it was on sale I figured why not try it again. So I installed it in the morning....next thing I know end credits are rolling and it is around 9:00 PM.... I can't remember the last time I played an entire story in a single day, but yeah it is as good as I remember. Allow me to break down the pros and cons. Pros: 1)Great difficulty variety, easy to hard plus invincibility if you want it. 2)Enemies play smart. Enemies often use cover and guys with shotguns have a tendancy to wait for you to come to them. 3)Game is tough but fair, in my entire playthrough I never got angry once at the many deaths, because I felt it was my mistake. Damage recieved is based on distance and where they hit you. Round a corner too quick and not notice a regular enemy and you go from full health to dead. 4)Bosses are not huge bullet sponges. Some bosses died in a few shots. Some may say that is not much of a boss fight, but considering the bosses are just people with no body armor it makes sense. The challange comes from the fact that most of them will one-hit-kill you. This means boss fights are tough, but not long drawn-out affairs that get annoying. 5)Great weapon variety and all of them are great. Even late game, starting weapons are still good. 6)The "Doctors" death cutscene is awesome! Cons 1)Enemies never stop saying "Where are you Marshal?" and "You're outnumbered" 2)Graphics did not age well. 3)Enemies never stop saying "Where are you Marshal?" and "You're outnumbered" 4)Game does not handle being minimized very well, at least on my system, which would be fine except for the fact that to rebind controls or adjust other settings it minimizes the game and brings up a window. Basically be sure to save your game before changing settings, in case it crashes the game. 5)Enemies never stop saying "Where are you Marshal?" and "You're outnumbered" In all a good story-driven old-school game whose gameplay is still fun.

"Don't be a fool Marshal!"

A blast from the past. Had a great time replaying this game. The last time I played it was back in 1997! I had to use a walkthrough for various places as it's not 100% obvious as to where you're supposed to go or what to do. But regardlesss of that, it's great fun to blast away cowboys in this game.

Best Western music in a game

When I played the demo back in the 90's one I was totally impressed by the music. It was and still is truly a masterpiece what Clint Bajakian composed, definitely one of the best game soundtracks of all time. The rest of the game is an OK'ish first-person shooter, even if measured by the standards of its time. The structural level design is good, but the hunt for not always obvious hidden passages, keys etc. is tiring and not fun at all compared to the best and better FPS games which already existed at that time. If you want a Western-themed FPS from the 90's this game runs without competition, buy it for the music alone! If you already played through all the famous FPS of that time and want more - well, try it, but be prepared for some cumbersome key hunting in often sparsely lit passages. If that aspect always bothered you and you don't care about the soundtrack - stay away.

Incredible soundtrack

Everyone should have this game, just because of this piece of music art. With "Outlaws" theme, every single game would look cool.
