You will not be dissapointed by buying this game! If you like RPGs, Action, and/or Adventure games, you'll love this one. There is soooooo much to do! Even after you've beat the game. With the huge maps, tons of free roaming space, and exciting side missions, you can play for hours without even starting the main mission. The sound and graphics are just about the best I've ever seen! The mian story is also awesome. It's easy to follow and tons of fun to play! Buy this!!!!!

On the right track

The game play is one of the best I have played. Everyone is correct, the game is to short and can be beat in a day. However, the characters and story line are the best part of the game. You have freedom to move around the "world" and engage in different tasks ranging from hunting to ranching. The weapons match that of the time so don't expect anything fancy. Hoping that when the PS3 with blueray comes out that we will find a part 2.

Not nearly as bad as everyone says it is...

I am scratching my head as to why everyone thinks that Gun is such a terrible game. I bought it a few weeks ago at a reduced price, and I really enjoy the game. The graphics are quite nice, the voice acting is really good, and the gameplay itself is entertaining. I really enjoy the open Western environment in the game.

Basically, Gun is structured like a Grand Theft Auto game in that once you pass the first few missions, you find yourself in an open environment that you are free to explore, take up side missions, or start the actual missions of the game. Some of the side missions include ranching, participating in the pony express, working as a bounty hunter and arresting or killing fugitives, playing Texas Hold'Em at the saloon, and hunting wild game. Completing these missions will improve your characters' abilities, such they do tie in to the overall picture.

Gun features a Quickdraw mode of fire, which is essentially the same feature used in Max Payne which slows down gameplay and allows you to make precise targeted shots.

Another feature I like about Gun is the fact that your character is able to buy weapons and items, such as weapon upgrades, to improve his overall strength. You earn money through completing missions and side missions, mining for gold, and winning at gambling.

Many people complain that Gun is too short and that the overall story is not very in-depth. While there is some truth to this, you should not pass up your chance to play Gun now that it is reduced to $20. In fact, this game is actually a steal at $20. It is a much better game than people give it credit for.

Very short and limited

This game would have been a lot better if it were more similar to GTA. I was looking forward to making my way over a vast area and maybe parking it on a high rock and picking off indians and other innocent people and animals with a broader range of weapons. The levels were a since to get through.

Oh well, maybe Gun II.

A GREAT GAME. YOU FEEL LIKE YOU ARE IN A WESTERN.

I'VE PLAYED THIS GAME OVER AND OVER AGAIN. THIS IS ACTUALLY THE ONLY GAME I FINISHED. YOU CAN SAVE YOUR PROGRESS ANYTIME. VERY FEW GAMES, I FIND CAN BE PLAYED OVER AGAIN WITHOUT GETTING BORED. NOT THIS ONE. YOU CAN RIDE A HORSE, WHICH BY THE WAY ACTUALLY RIDES LIKE A REAL HORSE. SHOOT OUT THE BAD GUYS ON HORSEBACK. SHOWDOWNS, EVERYTHING YOU CAN ASK FOR IN A GAME. IT HAS A GOOD STORY TO IT. I WISH THERE WOULD BE A GUN 2. GRAPHICS ARE VERY GOOD FOR A VIDEO GAME. YOU CAN ACTUALLY SEE DUST WHEN YOU ARE RIDING A HORSE. YOU CAN CHANGE FROM 3RD PERSON TO IST PERSON SHOOTER. BETTER GAME THAN RED DEAD REVOLVER AND DEAD MAN'S HAND FROM X-BOX. GREAT GAME, BUT FOR ADULTS. BLOOD, SEXUAL OVERTONES, MURDER. OR SUPERVISED BY AN ADULT. THANK YOU.

DECENT GAME

I got this game today really cheap at Target for $24 bucks. I played it for about a hour and the graphics are pretty good. The gameplay is great for ex. when you press the L2 button everything freezes and you can kill people and things like crazy. Characters are good but not enough. You dont spend munch time with different characters. The weopons are okay but could have better selection. I give graphics a A-. Gameplay B+. Characters B-. Weopons B+. If you can find this game really cheap like I did I wouldnt hesitate to buy it. An okay game all around.

GLITCH OF DEATH

By the time I played the game it was already two years old so I already knew that there were going to be antiquated issues to deal with. What I didn't realize at the time was there was going to be the glitch of death. As I started playing the game I was hooked and the story line was pretty good. It kept me wanting to invest my precious time playing the game. Now to the catch. You cannot buy weapons in this game, only upgrades. As part of the story line you have to lose your weapons. It does not matter how much money you earn during the game, you can never buy weapons. You loses your weapons at least twice in the game. The second time you lose your weapons and I thought that the game gave them back to me and it didn't. I saved the game and there are no cheat codes or nothing to get your weapons back and you cannot buy new weapons. Well I had to fight an end boss without my weapons and there was simply no way to beat the guy without starting the game over. Too many other games out there that beat this game hands down. I chose to sell it instead of starting over again. Thanks for wasting my time activision. Buyer another western like red dead revolver instead, one that does not have this foolish glitch. How can you beat an end boss without weapons. This mistake should not happen in a game, but then again this is an activision game. If it weren't for this glitch and I could have finished the game it would have gotten at least a high three stars or four stars.

a blood soaked epic western storyline

GUN is a hyped TPS it is devoped by the same team who brought us tony hawk. the game takes place in the 1890's. in and during the old west near kansas in the begging the protraginst cole white a man who should be in the age range of, 24, betwenn 29 is on a hunting game with his father. which is the basic tourtoul the abord a ship that is attacked by indins. the ship blows apart but cole survies after 3 days he wakes up at the edge of the lake or river or what not. that is i will not spoil the rest. but gun takes a lot if populrey elements and puts it in one game. examples include.
slow mo shooting from max payne you can get this by nailing head shots or cool ways of killing. it works with only pistols. but with any other gun it would be to easy. it also goes to A FPS in the 10-15 seconds you use this.
many mature aspects.
while always a conteversy it is also populry. In GUN youll see a lot of it to. blowing a guys head apart and watching brain and tissue fly while the corpse. just sparys froming a puddle. scalping is what has gotten this game contercovsly. a sclap is when a person whos. dieing on the floor get's a knife taken to to there neck. it's excatrated to say the least. also if you kill a person with a cannon there limbs fly. so expect to see an arm or a leg after you blow up dynimyte of fire a cannon. there is also the abilty to set a person on fire or stab them with a knife while the are 100% still alive and there idea of a epic cutscene is. haveing a mans fingers being blown off slitting thorats. shooting a man with a shotgun out a 3rd story window and sticking a rifle in a mans mouth and then.... pulling the trigger. the language is not what is in GTA, the wariors, or the godfather. but it does keep a consistent flow of S and B words. the S word is used over a Dozen times. if you play through the game the B word will be used almost 50 times. the enemys death cry. is commanly you B!#ch or Son of a B!$*h
FREE ROAM
GUN features 100% free roam side missons included. the map is not that big with only 2 citys. but it is the old west. with no cars. or faster transportion then. a horse and buggy. but the horse is what you will be riding most of the time.
epic storyline.
the games story foucus on revange but interduces. implyed sexul acts. backstabbing twists. hearing amazing things. flashbacks. ETC saying that the voice acting is also gold thomas Janes voice as colton and pretty much everbodys voice. is done in true fashion
the things to complain about in GUN is the lack of online and being short the main game takes about 8 to 10 hours to finish.
