I'd give it a 5 but that goes with the one small part of the game that annoyed me: too much like an arcade game. It seems the makers of it were split with making a epic western genre game or a insane shooter genre game. Either way it seems they passed on both aspects, it achieved in the western genre with the amazing storyline and cinematography at the beginning of the game. Though it also achieved with the insane shooter genre with the "zoom" option it has which makes it easy to switch between "bad guys" similar to that as in the GTA series and the Getaway (both first and second) where you can do the "auto-aim". This option does that but at a zoomed look so it's easier to spot the next one in view unlike just "auto-aim" though obviously you don't see the whole area but at least you have more choices when you switch since you can see them easier (headshot or just body for example). My opinion: good game, great presentation.Read full review
Graphics 9/10 - Awesome graphics for a PlayStation 2 game. Unbelievably detailed terrains compliment the rustic buildings. The people's mouths move in sync with the words, all the body movements are fluid. Great animations in this game. By far superior to Red Dead Revolver. Other games, such as Shadow of the Colossus, obviously has better graphics, but this game holds its own in the battle for realism. Story 8/10 - At first when I put the disc in the tray and eagerly sat back into my chair and listened to the story I thought "The hell...I'm lost!" But, over time, the story becomes clear. I don't like spoiling games, so I won't go into detail. But it's nothing original or new, however it is well executed. Plus it is open ended. Which sums up to hours of endless fun. Gameplay 9/10 - Excellent gameplay. Smooth controls! This is quite possibly one of the smoothest games I've played in awhile. Whether shooting in first or third person views you will hit your target. If the reticle is red, so will your enemy's shirt soon enough. As far as level designs go...It's nothing special. It's two cities; Dodge City, Kansas and Empire, New Mexico. Those two cities are separated by an expanse of...well...emptiness. A few caverns, herds of buffalo, some wolves...Kind of empty. Difficulty level - Not really a ranked category...But I thought I'd throw it in here for one reason: THIS GAME PISSED ME OFF! It takes a lot of patience only because this game is a large escort mission mixed in with some action. Be it escorting a wagon, protecting some one, or escorting some cows or a rancher...It takes patience, like I said. I actually broke a small table in my room because of the frustration. It's quite hard. Even on easy... Although it can be frustrating and it takes several retries, it's a short game. I beat it in a day.Read full review
Gun looked like a fun game with a decent storyline to back it up, so I decided to give it a try. As I quickly found out, Gun was a whole lot more than just a simple plot--it was like Grand Theft Auto only in the days of cowboys and injuns...I mean Native Americans. The game itself is very fun for the most part, though some of the side missions can get extremely tedious, and most of the time, it's way too easy to mow everyone down with your guns. Just as GTA has the option to pay prostitutes for...stuff, Gun lets you scalp people and shoot off limbs and heads. Pretty gruesome stuff. I liked the ability to either do missions or go on with the story, or just ride around on your horse either trampling everything in your way or searching for gold. However, every game has its negatives, too. Though Grand Theft Auto is easy to play over again because of the extremely large cities, Gun's environment is vast, but provides little to do. You can only ride through the same canyon so many times before you pray for outlaws to attack. Also, if you lack a horse, have fun spending the next 20 minutes jogging all over the place looking for one. To make matters worse, by the time you upgrade your guns and finally wield the double revolvers, killing becomes a hobby rather than a chore. No level is difficult enough to frustrate, and no side mission is exciting enough to impress. All in all, Gun is an extremely fun game to play, especially by the time you pick up a certain weapon that may or may not shoot cannonballs. Just don't expect to take it back out of the box once you've beaten it.Read full review
I bought this game because someone told me it was like Grand Theft Auto but with a western tast to it. And it is true. You can "steal" horses instead of cars, shoot most "non-storyline" related people, and do different missions to obtain money and gain experience. The reason I did not give this an excellent rating is due to the great but TOO SHORT main storyline. There a are still a lot of side missions for you to do like helping the sheriffs in different cities keep order, or the pony express missions where you are a delivery boy. My favorite are the wanted posters (dead or alive!), where you get to be a bounty hunter pretty much. You can also play Texas Hold'em at the casino. I recommend you mix in side missions with storyline missions to enjoy this game more. Otherwise you will be done with the game and still have tons of side missions like I ended up with. I beat the game weeks ago, but I still have like two towns with side missions left.Read full review
Colton White was a man who simply loved his job finding game to sell with his father,Ned.However as the two set aboard on a steamboat to retrieve an item they are ambushed.That was just the beginning of the story it gets even better at the end but you can find out about that yourself.This game features a large amount of guns,bows,rifles,sniping rifles and a bow.You can ride a horse,of course you'll need to in order to complete missions so you can increase your stats.If you have trouble beating groups of enemies you can go into the quickdraw mode where you will have a chance to kill many enemies without getting hit.This game is great for many people as long as they're not too young.The only problem with the game is the story,it's great but it's too short I ended up beating the game two days but the number of missions will keep you around until they're finished.Read full review
After 'Red Dead Revolver' I wondered what would be the next great western game. "GUN" was it. The story is pretty typical spaghetti western with a "National Treasure" twist. There is not much to do in the game once you have beaten it but the ride to the end is a lot of fun. Controls are great. Cinematics not too bad. Dialogue is not so great but Thomas Jane does voice the main character. I absolutely love the horseback riding. The horses control as if you were really riding a horse. No online play really made me sad. In 'Red Dead Revolver' they at least had multiplayer but "GUN" is a solo job. Probably not much more than a rental for most people. 3.5/5
For a used game it still works really well. I played it right away after it arrived. Very fun game except the controls take a while to get used to but overall it's a fun game!

This game takes you back to the time when there was cowboys and indians. You get all the excitement of playing poker, hunting down outlaws, riding as part of the pony express, digging for gold, and fighting off bandits. I find games this exciting and authentic are hard to find now a days. Getting the hang of the controls are a little hard at first but once you get them you better hold on cause there is so much to do and a lot of land to cover. Be careful of shooting or running over innocent civilians with your horse because you will have a riot on your hands, they will come after you guns a blazing. The only down side to this game is there is some bad language, wich means it may not be recomended for your young kids, I always thought they should make a game similar to this one but aimed towards the young ones or the whole family. Maybe in the future we will see something so great in that direction.Read full review
Gun is a refreshing new approach to the American west genre its graphics are well done. sounds are engaging, game play is nice though the amount of controls used at one time is a bit perplexing. this game is definately mature rated there is graphic violence, gratuitous blood and gore. example decapitation through gun shots. voice talents are of Oscar winning quality.though there is a fair amount of cursing, not for little ears. all in all a well done game. music is nice and remeniscent of the old spagetti western era. it gets a solid B
Let's start with the positives: Gun is a very pretty game, with lots of great scenery and attention to detail. It is also easy to learn and a lot of fun to play. However, the game has a few problems. First, it is one of those games that you can breeze through the entire thing only dying a few times, but at the end the "boss" is extremely difficult and takes many tries to finally defeat. Second, it's extremely short - even playing all the side missions it does not provide a very long playing experience. Also, it is completely linear. You go from a to b to c without ever making a decision or having to alter your strategy. Nothing affects the storyline, so you merely hop from one movie to the next. All in all, I would suggest renting the game for $6 rather than buying it for $50. I finished with it in two days of semi-serious play, and still had five days left over before i needed to return it. It's a pretty game, and entertaining while you're playing it, but in the end it doesn't really seem worth the money.Read full review
