This is a great game and has a great plot to it. It is also very fun because you can go where you want when you want.

A Great Game

This game is pretty amazing. This game has an awesome story arc you will fall in love with how simple but good the story is. The graphics are probably where the game fails, the graphics are much better than the previous consoles but still isn't awesome like some titles like Call of Duty 2 but will still satisfy you mainly because of no framerate problems. The music is probably what you would expect more like western style of music but you will probably be suprised how good the sound of the guns and everything else is. My main problem is that the game is a little short, but that doesn't stop it from being one of the most amazing titles ever.

Very cool western game

I had read a few reviews back when this game came out on xbox and because of the reviews I had never played this game. Then christmas rolled around and I wanted some new games to play on my 360 so I asked for it for christmas. I played a few hours and then went back to perfect dark. Now I'm back to playing this one again and wow is this game amazing. I'm really enjoying it more than I did perfect dark or call of duty. Its just a really neat game with lots of different things to do. I heard that it was short so I've been doing every side mission I can and I am really trying to take my time with it. I really don't understand all the gripes about this game. Are the graphics next gen? Um no but they're not bad like some people say. The graphics look great on my widescreen monitor. But the biggest thing I don't understand is the gripes about the controls. There's nothing wrong with the controls. I think that too many people got used to halo controls and expect exactly the same thing which they're close to the same controls. Either way I think this is a great game even if you do decide to rent it. Its different, its fun, and the story is very engaging. I'm praying that they'll make a gun 2 and just make it bigger and longer. I'm really enjoying my time with this game.

This Game Is Top Gun

Get the pun i made there? Anyway this game truly is incredible undoubtedly. Think a western GTA and you got this game. With all the charm of a real western and a huge area to explore at your own leasure.
The detail of this enviroment is fantastic with everything going on that it is hard to keep track of the things going on around you. In this game you play colt an Indian on a journey of exploration to find out who he really is and on the way he comes across some evil men on a quest to destroy the apache indians just to find the lost city of gold.
You mission if you choose to accept it is to stop the men and find the lost city for yourself.
This game is very fun as you get to play cards and ride horse and just basically blast the hell out of everyone who gets in your way. You will love this game if your a GTA fan and you will just adore it if you aren't.

Loved this game, people say its short but thats because there is no filler. Th story moves along at a good pace. Alot of really good gaming moments in this. Also not that it is a big deal, but the voice acting is superb. It helps the story so much. I love this game and I can see me playing it again. I can play good games over and over, with maybe a small break. Ths is one of my favorite games on the 360. Such great style. Musc = very good, voice acting = never seen better in a game, Gunplay = entertaining.

VERY fun and great story

this game may have dated graphics but the game play is outstanding. I picked it up for 20$ and play it non stop a must play for someone who likes shooters and western games. Also has a great story.

This is what GoW tried to accomplish, but failed to.

Great game, almost justifies the 360 purchase.

One of the better release titles, an unexpected pleasure.

I'm going to preface by saying that I saw the negative reviews for this title here on Amazon before ever trying the game, and went in with relatively low expectations. People knocked it for being a Red Dead Revolver clone, or they knocked it for not being like the Grand Theft Auto franchise, or they knocked it for being like the Grand Theft Auto franchise. You can see below, some call it boring, they ramble incoherently about gnomes (or 'knomes', perhaps they were going for something else), and generally pan the title. Certainly, as reviews are the opinions of those writing them, some diversity in terms of the overall appreciation for a given title is to be expected. But in this case, I think the game is taking hits for all the wrong reasons.

My sole substantiative complaint about Gun, is actually something of a positive testament to how fun I found it. I feel it's too short. I wish the storyline and the experience as a whole had lasted a little longer. I'd have also preferred to go without the constant in-your-face encouragement to race on to the next mission, but that's hardly unique to this title. I would have liked to have seen a lot more to do in terms of side quests (although, to be fair, there's already a ton). In particular, I would have liked to have seen the towns and frontier a little more 'alive' affording unscripted fun off the beaten path, and away from the main attractions. On the next to hardest difficulty level, there's maybe 18-20 hours of game play here, including getting all the side quests to 100%. So if I'm going to offer any bit of advice to prospective players, it would be that you go no lower than that level, or perhaps play on 'Insane' (the highest) in order to pace yourself.

One caveat about Gun, is that it is absolutely a mature title. Those familiar with the HBO original series 'Deadwood' would find that in parts, Gun manages to offer an equal or greater degree of explicit situations and dialog. There are a number of scenes that are surprisingly graphic. It is all part of the aesthetic though, all fits in well, and none of it came off as gratuitous. In fact, and this is an area that will certainly vary with taste, I thought it really added to the game. There were a few points where I stopped sneaking up behind someone to take them out, because I was too interested and/or amused by something the guy was saying or singing. Certainly this is a title where taking your time can yield some unexpected laughs and double-takes.

I'll leave the other standard game review fare to others for the most part. Suffice it to say that the audio and visual presentation are exceptional. Is it making full use of the 360's potential? I suspect not, particularly since it also arrived on the previous generation consoles -- but few/no launch titles ever do. The game is not lacking graphically, and visually it's clear that some really talented artists worked on the skies, landscapes, characters, towns, etc. It's as nice to look at as it is fun to play.

Within Gun, you will be a law man, a hunter, you will ride for the Pony Express, you will be an outlaw, a prospector, a rancher, a man seeking revenge and answers, and you'll even get some Texas No Limit Hold'em in along the way. You'll carry rifles, revolvers, shotguns, bows, dynamite, tomahawks, knives and swords -- all in the name of surviving, hunting, defending, and seeking justice. To offer too much about the story line would just take away from your experience, should you choose to rent or purchase, so I'll simply say that while some elements are almost cliche or very common to the Western genre, it was still completely entertaining.

I didn't expect to like Gun anywhere near as much as I have. I'm writing this just after finishing the game, and I'm entirely comfortable saying that I'm sorry it's over. Here's one consumer hoping more titles like this are developed. How about a sequel, Neversoft and Activision?

I'm glad I own this one, glad I played it, and unlike a few other release titles, I intend to hang on to this one for future replay. It is absolutely worth a rental, and I personally find it entirely worthy of purchase.

This game is excellent. I own it on the classic Xbox and had to try it out on the 360. I was suprised to find that it does look considerably better, but disappointed to find no additional content.

THREE VITAL FLAWS with this game, and that's it:
1. The map's too small! I want to ride across a Morrowind-sized map on my horse, encounter random Indian raids, etc. etc.
2. Waaay too short.
3. 90% of the missions are, "go here and kill this guy". A little variety would be nice.

Overall though, this game's a BUY.

Oh yeah...and when did "product review" become a blog for nerds? Take a hike, dweebs.
