Gun

One of the most didactic video game games I've ever played. The experience is very expressive, and made me understand much more than I thought about our legacy. Like the "Scarface" game, thid made me a little disturbed by everything I had to do if I wanted to move forward, like invading a place and fighting for that place as if it were mine. Of course, there are many teen games that also work with this argument, but the script much more serious, accompanied by a visual with "lifeless" colors, makes this an impactful work in all aspects. Technically, I can also talk about the sound: the dubbing and the original score give a spectacle, leaving a much greater immersion. A great thing for this type of game.

I definitely agree that the music score in this game is unbelievable. I found myself playing the game just to hear it. Unfortunately the game is actually a lot shorter than I'd hoped. Although I enjoyed it a lot, there are really only a few main story missions while the rest are side missions made to build up Colton's (your character) attributes. I think that a lot more could have been done to make more story missions and ultimately make the game longer. Since the story and cast for the game was pretty amazing, I hope that a sequel is made for this game and that it is made much longer. Don't let my disappointment with the length discourage anyone from buying the game because I think it is definitely a worthy game. Let's face it, any western game is going to be awesome.

In this game, you play as Colton White, who's getting revenge for all the times he got screwed over. You can do the story missions. This is really fun. This game has one of the best story lines I've saw in a game. This has a better storyline than some movies. The story has many unexpected events, and the cut scenes are great. The story is short, but you don't have to do the missions if you don't want to. Eventually, you'll have to do the story mode missions if you want to advance to another area or unlock more side missions. Side missions are awesome! You can play poker, do bounty hunter missions, go hunting, and more! But you'll eventually run out of side missions that are cool, and be stuck delivering mail for a measly 10 dollars on the Pony Express. Not as exciting as traveling through the west on a random horse looking for a wanted group of men who have prices on their heads worth 30 dollars, is it? With the side missions, weapons, and great storyline, Gun is definitely one to buy. The only downside is that veteran gamers may think it's too easy and short. I'm not a veteran gamer, and I can't beat the final boss, so who cares? I liked this game. Rental for veterans, buy for medium gamers.

I'd heard many a rave opinion about this game, it's been sizzled by everyone I talked to who knew about it. Then again, they just happened to work at Gamestop and were trying to sell it to me. In any case, in a few words, great rental, not worth $50.

First off, this game is violent. I don't mean, guts coming out someone's mouth grotesque, but rather stylized violence in the cut-scenes. The intensity doesn't come in what they show you, there's worse in other games, it comes in the cinematic way its presented. For a more mature player, the scenes have a thrilling sense to them, not because there's murder, but rather it's done with style. Think Kill Bill: varying degrees of overdoing violence, so its not as believable. You have people get killed in the cut-scenes, and some of it is brutal, but it's the idea of a throat getting slashed that makes it intense, not actually showing it because the graphics engine isn't really that good.

I know I dwelt a lot on the cut-scenes, and that's because I find them the best part of the game. They're brilliantly written with an excellent cast. The dialog is natural, and feels natural coming out of the actors' mouths.

The plot, unfortunately, is very thin. Without giving anything away, the story could have been fleshed out much more. The first "twist" in the story isn't much of one because it happens within the first hour. By then, you're already 14% into the game. The game moves very VERY fast. It operates in the free roaming/mission manner made popular by Grand Theft Auto. It progresses the story along really quickly, a little too quickly in my opinion, but quickly nonetheless.

Along with the root story missions, you have several side quests you take to improve the character's stats and to make money to buy upgrades. These themselves are what make up a bulk of the game, and what bring it down. These side quests become repetitive after a while since you're doing the same thing over and over again: Find something and kill the bad guys; Get on a horse, kill someone; escort someone, kill everyone else. You pretty much become a murderous errand boy. Yeah, that's fun and all for the first hour, but the game play's shallowness becomes apparent.

In short, there's too much story that this game can hold. The characters are all interesting, the story is deep, there're twists and turns, and stuff shown at the beginning reappears later on for an "Ahhh, I see" moment for the player. Unfortunately, the game is just too short. It could have been a great epic with a little more polish. It felt like it needed a few more months in developing to really feel finished. Rent it Friday, play it, finish it, return it Monday, and you can go on with the rest of your week.

Man this game is a hell of a lot of fun. The story is definitely short and wish it was longer. A future Remastered request along with some new DLC for Gun in the future that will help extend the story, the map, the characters and the places you can go. I can see Where Red Dead Redemption 1 and 2 got its referencing from. I will always go back to this game as it exceeded my expectations as a teen and up till now it is still such a fantastic game. Over, Would Highly Recommend! 10/10!!!
