Gun (Nintendo GameCube, 2005)

Westerns are rare in the first person shooter genre, as are games with good story lines. This one is a good western with a good storyline. It is compelling and fun. The side missions get repetitive and the game has almost no replay value (after you finish the game, there really is nothing more to do except ride around a kill people). Unique and worth the play, but could have been better.

This game is awesome! It is cool because it is a western and it stays true to the time. I have beaten it several times and it NEVER gets old! I originally got this for the PC and since I got a GameCube not too long ago, thought I would get it for that too. If you get this game, you will not be disappointed! The "hard" setting is VERY hard, but it keeps it interesting. You will not be disappointed!

Whether you get this for the GameCube, PS2, X-Box, or PC, you will quickly get drawn into the plot. Not only is the plot pretty good, the story makes sense and it's not just you running around shooting stuff. Throughout the game, you can do side missions (and mine gold) to earn money to upgrade weapons and purchse tools to help you throughout the game. They keep it pretty realistic. I hope they come out with a Gun II, because the map seems a little small after playing for hours on end, but you will get used to it. If you don't like this game, I'd really be surprised!

I had high hopes when I bought picked up this game and I was not disappointed. Gun is a story of corruption and murder set in the old west. We are talking shoot outs, whore houses, buffalos, indians, combat on horse back. Lots of fun stuff. There is alot of plot to this game which is basically a revenge tale. You can do so much stuff in this game that you've been wanting to for years. An example I found amusing is the fact that you can take an arrow attached to a stick of dynamite and shoot it at a person and when it explodes there are limbs scattered everywhere with tons of blood. It's not voilent, it's just realistic. I wouldn't give it a great rating for the simple fact that it is a short game. Although there are alot of side missions the game is beat pretty quickly. I can't wait for the sequel.

Gun for the GameCube was basically what I was expecting it to be like, based on commercials that I had seen for it. Once you get through the training stuff in the beginning (which is somewhat necessary), it really is a fun game. You can play missions and increase money and status, but you can also just roam around and pick fights or just simply shoot people! This of course upsets the townspeople and they try to shoot you too! If you are looking for a shoot 'em up western version of the GTA series of games, this is not quite it, but it is close. Instead of getting in and out of cars in between shooting rampages, you can get on and off of horses! For the price, it is definitely worth checking out for the GameCube.

this is a cool western kinda game and is cool you get to ride a horse around game has a slow motion on quick draw to shoot enemies temporarily in slow motion drink whiskey to regenerate health game has a pretty good range of weapons for selection more as you progress i liked it a lot when i played it and beat it twice before.
