This game is awful. The gameplay sucks and its just plain boring. I really expected a much better game. Big waste of money. I suggest you try it before you buy it if you can.

The Gun seems to be one of those games that receives either all high reviews from some people and all bad reviews from the others. And once you play it, you understand why. The game itself isn’t a mindless shooter like “Serious Sam” but feels more like “Grand Theft Auto” in the mid-west when “law” was something people only read in the books. Ahh well, who am I kidding!? They didn’t read books there.
The game is set in a relatively free roaming world in the wild west where the job of a main character varies from simply surviving an ecnounter with a crazy drunk with a gun to bringing down one of the most wanted enemies. There are plenty of missions to do of a few types, but they all mostly evolve around shooting or running/riding… much like “GTA” if you think about it.
The idea of the game seems relatively fresh (at least setting wise) and there are certainly some good points about the game. Riding a horse for many missions certainly is a highlight of the game. But there is a reason why [in my opinion] this game only gets 2 stars.
To begin with, the graphics in this can at most be considered mediocre, and at worst… well simply poor. While environments seem pretty interesting and well enough made, the character models are some of the worst you will see in the current Xbox 360 games. Quite frankly the quality of the character models seems of a good Dreamcast game, or a poor PS2 game. Which leads to the next point – why pay extra ten dollars for the game that looks and plays pretty much identical to regular xbox and very close to PS2 versions? Some may say it’s worth it for a HDTV support, but [in my opinion] this is pretty foolish. Even 1080i will not give you much joy if the characters up close look like they were rigged by a high school student messing around with 3D Studio Max.
The animation is also very poorly done. Not only there is a huge lack good looking effects, but when a shooting breaks out, it seems like the enemies steps and moves don’t even match what’s going on the screen. (If you thought sliding feet against the floor was bad, wait until you see these NPCs’ moves)
But graphics aren’t the most important part in the game right? Right! But the biggest offender in this game is not poor looking graphics but rather poorly designed controls. From the very start a player is taught the basic controls with small hunting missions (which I must admit, are very well blended into the storyline). But soon it becomes quite clear that shooting and aiming is rather frustrating than fun. And although GUN uses similar idea of “Bullet Time” from Max Payne game for a “Quick Draw” (slow motion shooting) it is poorly executed. Left analog stick cycles the targets that are near your view but adjusting the view is nearly impossible manually in that mode beaceuse camera barely moves. Which leads you to constantly switching from “Quick Draw” to adjust the camera.
Although the storyline is certainly there and it blends quite well into the game overall, dealing with some individual missions is just tedious. Anytime you are attacked by the NPCs, you can count on dozens of them coming out wave by wave for a shootout. They die from one or two shots usually and don’t possess too much danger if you get used to controls, but after a while you just start to wonder, when the wave of mindless enemies will be over already!? Some enemies can pack a punch, espcially bosses, but at the same time, you can heal instantly by drinking out of the bottle right there in combat. Silly? Yes. Majority of my mission failures were caused either by not knowing what to do, mostly due to poorly provided objectives, or simply by messing up because of horrible aiming and shooting controls.
At the end, unless you always wanted to play a step down version of Grand Theft Auto but set in the wild west, stay clear of this game. You will do yourself a huge favor if you still decide to check it out if you rent the game first. And even if it happens that you like it, save yourself some money and buy an Xbox or a PS2 version instead (if you have either of those two consoles).

This is what GoW tried to accomplish, but failed to.
Great game, almost justifies the 360 purchase.
