The old West theme really works. They do a great job with the robots and the old west bandits. The weird 1970s version of outer space art is really imaginative and colorful. AWESOME GAME. The aliens look like desparados and the AI is above average. Its long and lots of fun for just a few dollars. This game got a raw deal in the ratings.

HL:Gunman Chronicles Review

Gunman Chronicles is an add-on to the original half-life game. So it's won't work without it.
The game's graphics are far from being top-notch and the story isn't that great either. It doesn't really fit in the half-life universe.
But still, this is one of the best games I've ever played! It gives you a nice feeling, and creates a great atmosphere! Enemy population is quite diverse and so are the many weapons that you can change their firing rate, style and so. It also has some drivable vehicles like tanks.
If you're a FPS and/or half-life fan, I definetly recommend this game!

decent game

ok. all these reveiws say this game is infirior compared to half life. it is. i'll admit it. in many ways in fact. but the fact still remains that this game is entertaining. it will last you a couple days. when it came out i would have told you to steer clear of this game at all costs. now however you can find it in the bargin bin at alot of stores for like .99 to $5. for this price it is a good game. few bargin games are as fun as this game. so the point is. it isn't a supirior game but for .99 cents it delivers enough to keep you ocupied

the single player part of the game is fun, but the best part of this games is the multi-player on-line side . . . oh yea, the action is fast & in your face, the weapons need to be customized as you pick them up & the gunman world is small (that is what I like). This game you will only find 5-10 servers on-line at a time, but don't let that fool ya, there is always someone to do battle with & the full time players are some real friendly types too! One of the servers is PostalsPlace.com, it is a 10 player TEAM server hosted by the MIGHTY -=[PoSt@L]=- UNION . . . what a good bunch of guys to visit & play with, tell them I sent ya !

Almost...but not quite

This had the potential to be a great game, but fell short. The other 3 three reviews on here are a bit harsh I think. If you can find this game... as I did, it is a very entertaining game. Being built on the Halflife engine is a plus too. I thought the female voice over of the computer lady was excellent and that the computer lady character itself was pretty cool too, but was kind of out place in this game's setting though. There needed to be more variety in the different levels of the game. It spent way too much time in the second area, the alien planet, than it should have, and too short of a time in the western area which was excellent in my opinion. But I have to say that the previous three reviews made this game sound a whole lot worse than it actually is. I enjoyed the game for what it was and I think most people who enjoy good entertaining fps games would probably enjoy this one too.

nice and you dont need half life to play it

Really cool and it looks little better than half life lots of maps cool story and you get to ride in a tank!! it could be a little better but i think the makers of this game did a good job plus you dont need to have or even know about half life to play this unlike the other addons you need half life to play them so this is good for anyone who didnt like or get into hafe life btw half life rocks if you hav'nt played it I think you should :)

U Can Still Play It Online Multiplayer

The clans are still playing it, but because the old WON servers are now defunct, you will need a Steam account to play multiplayer online. If you have a Halflife game, then you probably already have the Steam account. Once you install Gunman nornally, to play multiplayer online all you have to do is this:

Open up your Programs folder where Gunman is installed (probably C:/Sierra/Gunman), and look for the folder called "Rewolf." Then just copy that folder to your Steam programs folder where all your other Steam games are listed. For example, my address to the Steam folder looks like this:

C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\jokerfunny

"jokerfunny" is my account name in Steam. Also, something no one told me, is that for me I had to open Steam and click on Games in the Menu and then select Activate Product on Steam. Then I had to enter my Gunman cd code. Once I did that and restarted Steam, Gunman showed up immediately. It did not show up just because I copied the Rewolf folder to the address above, but others swear it will so it might for you.
You need to make sure you have your regular Halflife game installed and showing in Steam before you do any of the above.

It sounds like alot, but it took me less than 4 minutes, and now I can play this great game with one of the original first person shooter communities ever! Yes, Gunman was out there right with Duke Nukem, but Gunman was way ahead of its time. Deathmatch maps are still everywhere on the internet and the clans are still designing new ones. Believe it or not!!
