GUN Critic Reviews

The first time you take someone's head off with a quick-draw move...you'll be hooked.

The core gameplay is very refined and every aspect of the presentation is top-notch. If the game was a bit longer, there really wouldn't be anything to complain about.

Merges an epic, and oft-times emotional story with challenging gameplay and realistic horseback riding and mounted combat.

If this game spawns sequels and the locations and gameplay options are expanded, we could have the Wild West equivalent of the "Grand Theft Auto" series on our hands.

If there's a nit to pick with Gun, it's that it's short. Depending on how much you poke around, you can beat it in anywhere from six to ten hours. To us, that's no problem; we'll take a short amazing game over a long lackluster one any day.

To get the full effect of Gun, the side missions are a must as the game can be ripped through rather quickly without them. Take your time, enjoy the experience and story, and you'll be glad you did.

Gun is such a rich, panoramic story, chock-full of sneering bad guys, shoot-outs, can-can girls and jailbreaks, you'll wonder why no one ever thought of it before.

The only drawbacks to GUN are the short story mode; the main campaign can be completed in less than six hours, and the extremely frustrating final boss.

If you want compelling story with dynamic gameplay, and are in the mood for some good old cowboy action; get Gun. You will not be disappointed.

Makes no excuses in its brutal retelling of a classic western story. The atmosphere of the gunfights is expertly created. GTA style free-roaming world fits the game well, and overall it is a magnificently fun, if a bit short, experience.

You're treated to an interesting plot, fun, sandbox-style gameplay, and atmosphere thick enough to choke a horse. It's honestly one of the most fun titles out there, and occasionally so over-the-top as to be downright hilarious.

Gun surrounds you with characters and a story that put their own stamp on the genre and make you a participant in a grand adventure that stands up to the rich tales of the legendary west.

Once you get past some of the technical issues, the game pulls you into the storyline and doesn't let go until you've finished the game.

One of the best action games to come along in recent memory. It's unfortunate that the experience ends so quickly, but few games twice as long leave behind such a lasting impression as remains after completing this adventure in the Old West.

A no-holds-barred, straight up western that certainly deserves a good look. The major flaw is how quick it is to finish and how easy it is to complete 100% of the tasks the game has to offer.

Featuring fast paced action, a great story, and tight controls, Gun shouldn't be missed. But due to its length, rent it first.

The freedom to roam and undertake missions works well and the story is gripping and entertaining at the same time.

Is GUN the definitive Western game? No. But it is darn good, and fun to play. The action is well paced, the story is very well done, the game looks great and the audio is a definite treat.

Roaming free is just not exciting as it should be as there is not really anything to do outside of beating on the poor townsfolk.

Gun is fun, but the short length, ease of gameplay and lack of those little extras really hurt replayability – and that's a shame because otherwise, this is a great game.
