This game rocks!! If you loved Half-Life you'll love this game. In my opinion it is at least as good as, if not better than Half-Life. Superb graphics/sound & storyline to keep you on the edge of your seat consistently.

The hottest first person shooter game I've ever played!!

Wow! This is a wholly original super fun game. The weapons are awesome and totally progammable. There's even a programmable tank you get to drive on one of the levels. The enemies run the gauntlet from human snipers to robotic monsters to dinosaurs and more. Though it it utilizes the Half-Life architecture, it is not a exactly the sequel to Half-Life but it's own game, with it's own awesome worlds at the far end of the galaxy. Graphics are great, fully realistic. Though it has a story line, it does not get in the way of the non-stop awesome action.

This game rocks!

I read an online interview with the team in which they said there are three play levels (easy, medium, difficult). The easy version is basically for novice gamers and the game does go by in about 8 - 15 hours. Try the difficult setting and the game is superior to Half-Life and just as long. The thing is -- the innovations such as totally unique weapons that obey they laws of physics but that do things never done before in a game and the foes ( robots, odd but very cool creatures, human snipers, dinosaurs) have incredible artificial intelligence at the "difficult" level and are damn hard to kill. This game is great--it's too bad so many evidently are missing out by playing on the "easy" setting. The plot line about a general who was left behind to die in a silicon based life form and survived to get even for being abandoned fuels the plot and the plot is really cool.

Picture yourself a counter terrorist alone your complaions dead you seee the bomb your miison is with your grasp BANG!!! your dead terriorst was hiding behind that box. This is the life of fellow gamer with the game half-life counter strike. Me myself play this game it never has a dull moment if your sniping down a hallway or planting a bomb under the fire of the counter terrorists it is an action packed game that will keep you coming back for more personaly i think it should be worth more money but they are nice so if you see this game on the shelves at a computer shop near you grab it and start the trip to no stop action.

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.

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 !

Its Half-Life but in the future

... This is a great game in the tradition of Half-Life but still falls short of the greatness which Half-Life attained. I guess then I should start off with why I gave it 4 stars instead of five.

First the game is still based on the HL engine. While still being a good engine to use it is starting to show its age. HL came out about 2-3 years ago and FPS engines have had a drastic over haul in that time. The game still looks great and plays great though.

Secondly the levels are a little too short for me. I played it for a couple hours last night and I am already on the 3rd planet. The box says that there are 4 immense worlds to explore and well I haven't done much exploring to say the least and the worlds are not immense at that. Hopefully the 4th world will be a little bigger. Ya the story line is a little hokey but its better than many I have seen.

Well other than those two gripes the game shines. Each of the weapons has several functions with situations calling on your use of those various functions sometime throughout each level. The enemies are quite varied and fit in with the planet and its surroundings and their AI is pretty good.

I should say that I haven't played online yet with it so I am not going to comment on its multiplayer functions yet so this review may seem a little premature but I was here and what the hey...I wrote it.

Overall this is a fun game and if you like HL and Unreal then you will enjoy this game....

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. I am telling you this because this game is no longer supported by the company and its servers are gone forever. Once you install Gunman normally, 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!!
