Way too short, but still well done

This is obviously a mod for Half-Life. But it's a really good one, and i have no problem paying for it. The wierd, flexible weapons they add are really nice. Level design, though linear, is nice. The dinosaur models turned out really nice, although they only appear at the very begining - wish they had been in there more. Driving the tank was pretty cool too. And i even liked the plot.

Still, it hit some of my pet peeves. i despise annoyance monsters, the ones with only one hit point that serve only to waste ammo. i don't mind that the game was pretty short (not Hitman short, but still pretty short).

Great While Waiting For HalfLife 2

I can sum this up quite simply: If you loved HalfLife, you'll really enjoy Gunman. It's story is not entirely original, the graphics are dated by the HalfLife engine upon which the game is built but all the fun and action of the game you've come to love is there. Buy this game to extend your HalfLife high, not to be blown away by the next generation of First Person Shooters.

WORTH PLAYING!!!!

If you liked half life then this game is worth playing.Its pretty much a remake of the half life engine.the story is good along with the old wild west type environments and themes.the enemies,xenomes,desperados are original and that makes gunman a hyper powered half life.the best level is the last cause you fight in outer space on the surface of an alien wild west planet.my only con is the lack of guns although the rocket launcher is pretty cool.overall this game is worth buying......that is if you are a half life fan!!!

Good Games fallen short

Gunman is sadly one of those great games that never makes it big. The story line takes you to unexpected ends of the universe, once you depart from one planet, you never know where you might end up. The games difficulty is just so that you would rather keep playing after failling a mission rather then giving up for awhile. After playing for awhile and looking back at all youve shot your way threw and came across, you notice just how large and intense the game really is. The graphics arnt that off date and the game is really fun, a great buy for such a low price.

Get this game, its alot of fun

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.

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 :)
