Full review

Enjoyed movies of the Wild West when I was a child which consisted of bank robbery, train robbery and every criminal traits all where the nature and the joy of such movies. Clint east wood made the Wild West movie a more popular one when he stared with lee van cliff and Eli walache in the movie the good the bad and the ugly. Since then I have not gotten any other movie of that quality after watching the great the good the bad and the ugly movie epic.

Well my mind went off movies of that nature until in the year 2005 when the gun was developed and released by versatile neversoft the creators of Tony hawks pro skaters and other nice games.

The game is compared with the great GTA but I think GTA has an edge over them all although that the gun is a bit unique and has a bit different game play and nature.

GAME MODE AND STORY.
The game starts up with the players' controls of Colton white with his father ned with a good beginning. All of a sudden, all went wrong with both when Colton and his father Ned was ambushed aboard a ship and as usual with such incidence, Ned was dead letting son colon alive. I think the killer made one major mistake and what was the mistake? He forgot to finish the job by letting Colton alive to avenge his father's death. May be, he took Colton as a little kid. In the game, you are to fight many figures, which include the town sheriffs, Native American tribes, and other bad figures.

The game would be likable to those that take Wild West movies as their favourite I suggest and the game takes us back in the 1800s where they were horses as major source of movement and train as well.

The playing environments consists exactly as what you normally see in such 1800 movies like the trains, rail roads, wood made houses, badlands and hills as well. So the game environment looks more archaic but not ancient like in the lord of the ring settings. However, you are to move around with horses for your mission objectives like gunning down baddies and getting on gold but the most painful part of the game is losing your horse and this gives enemies the privilege to put in some couple of bullets in your body.

Completing some of the mission objectives could earn you some cash and not only that gives the privilege to chose from thirty upgrades from different merchants. It also provides the need for more powerful weapons as you advance and also more conventional health capacity.

GAME WAEPONS
There are many weapons of the 1800 Wild West type like the pistol, rifle, sniper and even bow is even among the weapon of choice.

GAME SCENE.
The gun is a very unique game when it comes to game action and enemy. You have to imagine the type of fun we normally have when we were still addicts of the Clint east wood's type of wild west movies. The gun as a game comes up with every details of the Wild West movies including the sound track type, the dressings and the gunshots sound of those days. You roll around with your horse and then attack enemies and I think that this consists 80% of the real fun we used to get in the Wild West movies. One thing that some might not like about the game is how long you might hunt for battles because of the large region of emptiness and when encounter any bandit, the battle is quite short but with lots of fun.

In the game you are also provided with a map, which also helps you in navigating the counties, finding shorts cuts and some amazing secrets. The gun has very fantastic and very attractive features and that is the environments, the trees and some animals like wolves and some other beast of burden that roam around the counties. There are other beautiful touches like waterfalls and the land scope that is very well represented graphically with good concepts.

OTHER EXITING FEATURES.
There are other exiting game presentations like the cinematic cut scenes with some nice voices of talents.

GAMES DIFFICULTY.
Some game player won't just complain about the game being difficult at all because this is a very easy game that will make you less frustrated unlike in some mission games like the GTA and the metal gear solid games. The game makes it easy for you by letting one bullet make an end to an enemy. Well you need some little patients about the game because in my own case, I went far in the game for just playing it for weeks. Well major problem you might encounter in the game difficulty is that you get it hot with the enemies. Some enemies heat you hard with their short gun and pistol along with dynamite and this can be frustrating to your mission and life.

So you can cop with the game difficulty and in no time, you will be able to go far in the game so don't worry about the game difficulty. Another exiting feature is the game graphics and some exiting and entertaining court scenes and sound tracks. The gun sound effects are marvelous from the pistol to short, to dynamite and the arrow sound.

So you need some sought of advice about the game the reason is not a matter of not being interesting but the nature and the originality of the game based on the wild west 1800 movie settings unlike in games like the grand theft author where you can roll around the streets with bikes and cars or metal gear solid where weapons like advanced pistol and high tech sniper rifles are weapons of choice. Some might find it very strange to roll around with horses, dealing with guns with the ball like bullets, arrows and second encountering villains like the native Americans, meeting some deserted environments where you can roll around for minutes waiting for enemies to slaughter It out with and so on. But to be honest, the game gun is a better shooting em up to have come in the ps2 game. So you use all these instances to look up if the game is up to your taste.

So why don't you get the game and gun down the bounty baddies like in the movie the good the bad and the ugly and for a few dollars more get the gold packed in sack.
