Gun is a third person shooter for the XBOX. You play a gunslinger out to avenge the death of your father, who was murdered by outlaws. You go From town to town and accomplish missions which propell the story or take a side-quest to earn more money and develope your skills. The best way to describe this game, is Grand Theft Auto meets the old west. You have huge free-roaming levels. First let me get the negatives out of the way. When you travel through towns you will find NPCs (non player characters) walking about, chatting, there is even random crimes taking place. All these are nice touches and add the atmosphere of the gameplay, but the towns feel a bit empty. You will see rivers and lakes in the levels, but you cannot go swimming. Walking to certain areas of the map will be blocked by an invisible barrier; which subtracts from the fantasy. Although the game is free-form, there are a few linear missions, you have to finish through. Negatives aside, GUN this is still excellent and should not discourage you from making a purchase. There has so many fun things to do; you can ride any horse that is not being used, you get an assortment of weapons like, pistols, rifles, shotguns, dynamite and bow with arrows. You can make stealthy kills with a knife and cut people's throats, become a deputy keep the peace in town, be a bounty hunter and bring down outlaws, hunt bears or wolves, do side missions for other characters or just follow the storyline. There are a lot of elements which will remind you of GTA; except of course you're a cowboy instead of a gangster. Shootouts can be bloody at times as you can make headshots and blow people's brains out. Kids should not be playing this; for adults only. Hurting innocent people causes the law to come after you, but killing criminals is loads of fun (no pun intended). GUN can be exciting, or it can also be laid back if you choose to play that way. So if you like old west actions or western movies and wished a good game existed; this is the one for you!

| 5 | Today | This game is great
this game has subtle hints of "the good the bad and the ugly" in it. Your character is similar to clint eastwood's "blondie" character in his italian western movies. its a lot of fun to play. like grand theft auto, you don't have to do only missions and there is a free roam. you can buy guns, knives, whiskey... its alot of fun to play. alot of missions ot choose from. the gore is hilarious. BUY IT | 5 | Today | :0)
No complaints here, enjoyed it mostly the whole western seen somewhat short but maybe thats because i was enjoying playing..a good get.... | 4 | Today | the stars say it all
My only complaint is it's alittle short. everything else is great.
| 4 | Today | THE FUN STOPS TOO QUICKLY
I got this game for my brother as a late birtday present, i did hear good things about it but i never expected it to be as great-yes i used the word great- and it is truly one of the better third person shooters of 2005. The story is great and keeps the game in tact. You have 20 weapons to master- from the pistol class, rifle class, shotgun class, melee class, thrown class, bow class, and the sharp-shooter class. With all these weapons, you always find a new to kill or annilhate your enemy. Though the game is short, and i mean short-you'll get it done in about 5 hours , there are side missions and that's half the fun. Poker,pony express and wanted posters are jsut some of the side missions. They aren't endless though and after you finish evrything you'lll have NOTHING to do. this is a great and undoubtly the best western game EVER but it still had a way to go in the replay department. It's 29.95 and 8hours(with the sidemissions included) of gameplay, you feel you over paid just a little bit. It's a great step and everyone seems to know Neversoft(okay maybe you don't but you should)-they are the creators of the Tony Hawk games. So, with this game being compd to GTa and other game this is what i ahve to say: it's no GTA but it's fun ride that arsadly ends much much to soon.Hey, neversoft, make a longer sequel!!!
FINAL SCORE:9/10 pros= great story line, great backround, the feel of being able to do anything.....
cons=....just after you complete the side missions and the game(the n you have nothing). facial animation, length of game. | 4 | Today | Why so Short?
Set in the untamed West of the late 1800'2, Gun is a free-roaming action-adventure game that takes you to a world without laws - where greed, lust and murder are rampant. As colton white, a vengeful gunslinger, you must straddle the line between good and evil in a showdown against corrupt lawmen, a murderous preacher, renegade army psychopaths, merciless outlaws and relentless warring tribes. Along the way you'll wage war on horsback, collect bounties and protect whores. Travel though an action-packed landscape of high mountain wilderness, deserts and bustling territorial towns in an epic story of betrayal, greed and revenge.
Gun is such a good game and it is very addicting. What makes the game so great is the liberation. The game lets you really be free and you feel like you really re a part of the game. The landscapes of the game are like no other. It really is unbelievable when you play in the landscapes. They are built so well to match the time of the 1800's. The landscapes are huge but the game doesnt have that bad problem where you must travel a lot, all the missions are in a certain area until you move to the next area. The landscapes hold mountain ranges, forest and woods, deserts, farms, towns and more. Now you can do whatever you want to do the story missions then do them, if you want to do side missions and other things do them, like i said you're totally free i nthis game. I'll get to the story-line in a minute, the side missions and other stuff you can do in the game are great and it keeps the game worth playing after you did the story-missions.
SIDE MISSIONS:
Pony Express - In these side missions you use your horse to deliver items from place to place in an alloted time.
Ranching - Earn some money and hone your horse riding skills by helping local farmers corral up their livestock.
Bounty Huntng - Catch outlaws dead or alive and bring them to the bounty store and get some money.
Mining - Go hunting for gold, gets you good money.
Poker - Play a game of poker with a bunch of local gamblers at the saloon.
Keep the Peace - Help out the local deputies by stopping trouble before it starts and flushing out the bad guys in each town.
Hunting - Go out into the wilderness and hunt some animals.
Rescue - Rescue hostages from outlaws and take out bandits to keep people safe.
Now if you want to do the story-line missions, they are great. The story line is excellent and keeps oyu wanting to play the game. You are a gunslinger, Colton White, and you go hunting with your father one day. Both of you come across a ship and you board it. Just then the ship gets attacked by an indian tribe and you start fighting them off with your father. Your father tells you to get off the boat. You tell him no and he tells you he really isn't your father and he pushes you off. The ship blows up and your so called father dies. Before he pushed you off he told you to go to dodge city and ask for Jenny. Now you are on your own in an adventure for revenge and searching for answers on who you really are. The story line is great as you go on through the game but the only problem is that its way too short. You can easily beat the game in one night without the side missions, especially since it is addicting. Throughout the story there are a lot of fun duels with gunslingers and what not. You can get plenty of guns like pistols, rifles, shotguns, melee, grenades, bows, and sharpshooters. You can also use quickdraw where you slow down time letting oyu be able to shoot many enemies.
This game is so good and i highly recommend you buy it, if not rent it. If you think you are going to be doing the side missions then buy the game, but if you didnt like what i told oyu about the side missions and you just want it for the amazing story then just rent it because it is incredible short. Gun is rated M for Mature: Blood and gore, intense violence, sexual themes, strong language, use of alcohol. | 4 | Today | Gun is an amazing western game with an epic storyline that is thrilling all the way from start to finish.
Fun. That is the only way to describe Gun. It's opened ended, free-roaming western experience is truly one of a kind. The game perfectly portrays what life was probably like back in the old west. From bloody shootouts in the streets of Dodge City, to stealthily hunting wolves and bears in the plains and mountains, to riding horseback through Indian territory; Gun offers a one of a kind experience that you have to play to believe.
The gameplay is amazing. Gun puts you in the boots of gunslinger Colton White, a tough guy that is seeking revenge on the men who killed his father. Gun has an epic story running throughout the game. Playing as Colton White, you will get to see what life was like in the bloody west. The game offers both thrilling mission objectives as well as easy, but exciting side missions to earn some extra cash. You will easily know where to go to continue on with the main missions as well as be pointed in the direction of side missions. The main missions offer various objectives, with a wide variety ranging anywhere from basic escort missions to prison breaks. The side missions have a huge variety: taking on a role as a deputy sheriff, riding Pony Express, capturing outlaws for rewards, playing poker in the saloon, herding cattle as a ranch hand, even going on hunting trips. The game is insanely easy on the lower difficulties, so I'd recommend a higher difficulty, that way the game will offer a bit of a challenge. While the game does have a shooting gallery feel to it, you won't get bored with Gun due to the free-roaming gameplay and its huge variety in missions.
The graphics look very good overall. The problem is that they are often hit and miss; they will sometimes look absolutely amazing in detail in some areas, but in others they will seem extremely unpolished. For the most part, they look great. Environments look great and are extremely detailed and full of life. Character models and animations are great. Weapons look and sound excellent. Voice-overs are fantastic, really bringing life to the characters. The main highlight (especially for those of us who have ever ridden a horse) are the horse animations. They are amazingly realistic and move flawlessly fluent and are extremely life-like. It is great to watch the dust kick up from your horse's hooves as you run along. Another thing that I want to take note of are the shadows. Take a minute while you are galloping along on your horse and watch the shadow alongside you; it is amazing to watch how fluently it moves along with the horse's movement; and the shadows just aren't good on the horses, they are also extremely well done on human animations as well. Despite the fact that the graphics are hit and miss at times, it is amazing that the developers could put so much meticulous detail into such a large spanning environment, and I therefore rate Gun higher in the graphics department. It is just amazing that the framerate never stutters.
Sound effects are great in the game. From gun shots ringing through the streets to arrows piercing through the air. It is all extremely well done. All the weapons sound awesome. Animal noises also sound great. Voice-overs are fantastic. It is amazing that the developers could find this talented of a group to do voice-overs. Overall, the sound is awesome and really takes advantage of Dolby 5.1 surround sound.
It is too bad that developers couldn't spend some more time making the single-player game longer. The game is really short and should take you anywhere from 10 to 12 hours to finish. The game luckily offers some replayability which does add some extra value to the game. But due to Gun's short length and lack of bonus features, the value level is lower. But I would personally recommend buying this game over just a rental because I think it is a game worthy enough to be added to your collection.
Gun is insanely addicting due to the epic storyline. The game will pull you in and definitely keep you hooked from start to finish. The pure fun of playing through the story and completing side missions will keep you coming back for more, making Gun an amazing game.
I just thought I should throw this in as a warning notice: DO NOT PLAY IF YOU ARE UNDER THE AGE OF 17. The ESRB notice does not lie on this game. Gun is extremely bloody and violent. It contains strong language that is not suitable for children. I guess you could consider this as being gritty and uncensored. So if you are a parent looking to buy this game for your kid, I would recommend looking elsewhere.
Gun is one of those insanely fun games that is hard to describe. The open-ended, free-roaming style of gameplay is amazing and extremely well done. The epic storyline running through its roots is reason enough to buy this game. With the perfect combination of excellent gameplay, stunning graphics, excellent sound effects, and extremely high tilt level, Gun is truly a one of a kind experience that you must play in order to believe. The only thing now is for you to saddle up and to get ready for the most exciting ride of your life as you play as Colton White through one of the most stunning, thrilling, and emotionally captivating video games of all time. | 5 | Today | The fun was over too soon! (spolier alert)
This was a great game but it was too short. You start off as Colton White, hunting wild game with your father Ned as part of a tutorial (throughout the rest of the game there is a tutorial to guide you along). You board a steam ship to take care of some business when its ambushed and your dad pushes you overboard saving your life but not before telling you "I ain't your father". He also tells you to go to the Alhambra in Dodge city. From then on the main storyline is to avenge your father, find out what those guys on the steamboat were after, and ultimately who you really are. But there are also side missions like pony express, hunting wild game, bounty hunting, deputy missions, ranch hand etc
Throughout the game the side missions help to boost your stats like your horse riding skills or quick draw as well as to earn cash so you can buy weapons and abilities upgrades. Quickdraw is very useful it allows you to slow down time and pick off enemies one by one until the meter runs out. You can extend the meter by getting upgrades.
I found my horse to be a useful weapon also. Trample your enemies or break down doors with your horse. They are more than just transportation! But be warned as your enemies will try to shoot your horse to bring you down, making you an easier target. It's also useful to do the same to your enemy, especially in bounty hunting missions where you want to take them down but bring them in alive for more cash. The graphics were nice and theres lots of wide open spaces to ride your horse. But while roaming the wild west you might randomly be attacked by some bandits.
The voice acting was good also, there was Kris Kristofferson and literally the voice of Chucky (Reverend Reed). The characters also speak in old west slang (how often have you been asked in real life if you have true grit?) but not so much so that you don't understand what they mean.
I did find some of the missions to be too easy or short so I recommend playing the game on the hard level. Also, There was lots of open space to ride my horse and not enough towns, camps, ruins, etc to explore. I was also disappointed with the AI interaction. I expected townsfolk to speak etc when my character rode or walked past but the most I got was they rolled out of the way of my oncoming horse. The townsfolk do interact with eachother however. You may wander across a shoot out but if you join in you end up testing the town's patience. And when the town's patience runs out a posse gathers and we all know what happenes when the posse comes to town...
The one major flaw I had with the game was its length. It was over too soon. There were lots of side missions and not enough missions for the main story line. It is important to not ignore the side missions, because although some are just for fun (like playing poker)they are actually the main filler of the game as well as good for improving your stats and earning money for upgrades. After you finish the main story line you get a few new weapons and you're free to roam from town to town and do whatever you want. So if you didn't finish all side missions like mining gold, then go ahead. | 4 | Today |
