Gun is a typical western, with guns, native americans, trains, horses, but what sets it apart from other westerns is the story. It brings a new life to the intense gameplay, diversive missions, and incredibly fun horseback combat and side missions. The voice acting is a piece of amazing work, as are the graphics (eccspecially cutscenes). Buy this game if you're old enough!
Great Buy

This was one of the first games that I had played on the PS2. I have had alot of fun with it! There are a lot of possibilites, and you can really have alot of fun with it. The horses are cool, and with realistic moments. The guns are neat-o. And you are not restricted to ONE area of game play very often. You can go and wonder around... Thats fun!
Note to players, be sure to do ALL SIDE MISSIONS possible! (Wanted posters, etc...) Very important!
The only thing that I don't really like is the swearing. There isn't a whole lot of swearing, but enough to make one roll their eyes. But that is the era that it is based in.
Overall, this is a fun game worth the money!
GET THIS GAME!!!

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!!!!!
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.
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.
Near Masterpiece

Absolutely terrific game! Includes great graphics and music, and, most important, an absorbing story that grabs you from the start. Gun was the kick-in-the-pants I needed after getting through the tedious first Splinter Cell. It's as engrossing as the first Max Payne, and I hope--though I doubt it'll happen--it eventually spawns a sequel.
Fantastic Game

I am a recreational gamer. In other words, I take the PS2 on business trips with me and I play when my wife goes for a girls night out (or more often a PTO meeting). I am a fan of Westerns and this game was great. The storyline, the graphics, the different weapons, and the difficulty were perfect for me. Because I don't play a lot, I get very frustrated with games that are too long or too hard to beat. Some have complained that the game is too short. It is short, but that was great for me. I was able to finish the game on one business trip.
You do have to do all of the side missions in order to gather enough skill, strength, and weaponry to beat the game. The one drawback I found was that once you have started a mission, there is no way to leave it and go back to town to do side missions. The first time I tried to play, I got stuck trying to kill Reed. I ended up having to start over and I made sure to complete more side missions the second time through. But, I should have known better! My only other complaint is that the language is a bit rough at times, enough that it is a bit distracting.
All in all, one of my favorite games!
Finally.... A Really Good Game

This is the first mature game ive bought and i think they did a great job. It's too easy to get hooked. If ya get bored theres plenty to do and alot of places to wander off to. Hope they make another one and throw some more stuff in there that doesnt go along with the story. Something like being real bad, posse comes looking for you or something. It's worth buying, the PSP one is good fun also.
It's not perfect, but it sure is something

Gun is one of those games that you just have to play to believe. Despite some lofty promises that it doesn't fully deliver, Gun is the best western video game to come out in years (and certainly better than Red Dead Revolver) and features some of the grittiest and grisliest action you'll encounter in a video game that doesn't come from Rockstar. You play as Colton White; a tough hombre who's looking to avenge the death of his father. Throughout the game's story, you'll meet a deranged preacher, a kindly prostitute, an insane Civil War veteran, and the railroad mogul behind the devious plot. In between all that, you'll be able to go on side missions, ranging from playing Texas Hold 'Em poker to earn some cash to picking up bounties and acting as a law man to max out your stats. You'll fight Apaches, thugs, and killers along the way as well, but the main problem with Gun is that it's too short. Side missions and all, it won't take you long to beat the game, which is a big disappointment. Not to mention that the gameplay elements can appear really linear at times, throwing out the notion that Gun could be GTA with a horse. The storyline is entertaining enough, but the violence and language can be a little too over the top at times. Despite all that, Gun is still a great game thanks to the atmosphere, excellent music, solid graphics (mostly), and the great team of voice actors which include Tom Jane as Colton, along with Lance Henriksen, Brad Dourif, Ron "Hellboy" Perlman, Tom Skeritt, and Kris Kristofferson as well.
