Cookie Cutter FPS with Bad Graphics

Wow, this game was entertaining for all of 5 min. Game play is buggy and cumbersome. Story is lame. AI is weak. Multiplayer follows suit. I would have to invent some wildly unlikely story to justify the people who sold this idea to Atari.

made by atari!

This game is really boring....the graphics suck...and the missions are so dumb that its not fun...if u want a good western shooter...get Red Dead Revolver....its a lot more fun...and more interesting...Dead Mans Hand just doesnt cut it.

good for the price...barely

Western setting for an arcade style game. Easy to pick up and play, this is a shooting gallery with very little AI demonstrated by your opponents. The single player game is fun but exceptionally simple. It is hard to believe that it uses the Unreal engine.

The Xbox Live multiplayer is fast and furious in deathmatch. However, it is exceptionally glitch prone. Connections get dropped even when good, the Mansion Level often disarms the host, shotguns are actually less powerful than the smallest pistol, and your profile with your game progress can mysteriously become unretrievable.

As the only current Western Gun-Fight for the Xbox, it's great! In any other sense, it is a considerable dissapointment.

THERE ARE SOME PROBLEMS

This Game is OK (I have not played the game on-line), but the graphics are just OK. The scenery is good, but the character models are not the most fluid.

Collision is also a problem. I shot right at the head of an enemy and the shot missed, however when riding a horse and flailing into the wind with lead, I hit every enemy. Even if they were not even close to their target.

Another problem is the load times. It seems really slow to load, and gets stuck in the loading process.

The game is a typical FPS, and it is pretty fun, but there is probably no reason to run through the game once you complete it. This game should of been so much more, but what do you expect from a game that was originally cancelled by the developer a couple of years ago.

Fun to look at, fun to play.

If you are looking for an awesome Old Western Gunfighting game then Dead Mans Hand is the game for you. The graphics are sweet and one of the coolest features are the interactive objects. By this I mean if you shoot at objects (such as tables, chairs, bottles, powder kegs, signs, etc.) they will explode or react in a way that will effect the game and sometimes even kill enemies. Its very fun to walk into a saloon and start firing and everything reacts to your bullets. You can even shoot the hat off an enemy! The levels are detailed and free roaming. Dolby digital surround in this game has all the sound effects, believe me you will feel like Clint Eastwood. Very fun and realistic game to play especially if you are into the gunfighting old west.

This game isn't that Dead yet

Dead Man's Hand (and it's to bad since this game is really good) has been out since the dreaded Halo 1 and 2

People or gamers of today dont have the brains or will to think outside the box anymore. And i know alot of gamers are kids, but there are more adults like myself who should be able to appperciate alot more.

If you as a gamer can NOT compare Dead Man's Hand to Halo or Grand Theft Auto I think you might really enjoy this game.

The voice acting is first rate. El Tejon, the lead, is perfect. And the others are just as good. There are quite a few characters in this game.

The opening movie will draw you in from the get go! It's really very well done. It tells of a life you led with eight others. You were called "The Nine". it then peoceeds to tell of the betrayal, and i wont say anymore, watch the opening movie.

The first level is more of a learning the controlls level. You get a few guns with no enemies around and you can blast alot of things from watermellons to hanging lights. Only at the end can you squeeze off a few rounds and some baddies. But remember, this level is disquised as a walk through, only not as boring as most walk through first levels.

The many levels that follow are all well done. there are going be many weapons and alot of tough hombres!! Gameplay is allways smooth and i haven't come across any bugs in the game at all.

On-line play is very fun! Only promblem is everyone is playing Halo 2. To bad really. But if you have this or get this game, look up my gamer tag, Master Garret on xbox live and i'll play anytime.
