"The only flaw is that it's too damned short!"
The comparisons with Grand Theft Auto are inevitable, and really there's no avoiding them. The open-endedness of the gameplay along with the free-range interface makes it very much like GTA. But this very modestly named game is definitely unique on its own, and fun... for as long as it lasts.





With the gruff old voice of Kris Kristofferson guiding you in the opening tutorial, it's just a sampling of the marvelous voice acting talents you'll encounter along the way, along with the expertly directed cutscenes which actually makes you want to listen most of the time rather than skip ahead.





Your arsenal of weapons is small, but highly effective for whatever you need. A variety of different choices of rifle, shotgun, pistol, sniper, and bow are available the further you progress in the storyline, while side quests and extra money earns you upgrades for everything from firepower to horse speed and quick-draw length.





What really shines greatest in the gameplay is horse riding. Getting on a horse and speeding away is by far the most entertaining use of horses I've yet encountered in any game so far. You can speed it up, slow it down, fire from atop it, pull back the reins to draw it on its hind legs, use it to trample people, even kill it if you ride it too hard. Whether you're hunting someone down or being attacked by bandits or just looking to butcher buffalo, horse archery (or riflery) is an entertaining endeavor that works smooth and flawlessly in the game.





Aside from the main quest, which is the most entertaining to play, there are side quests ranging from Pony Express missions, to acting as deputy of a town, to bounty hunting, even to hunting rare beasts which requires stealth, precision, and a lot of patience as opposed to barging up and blowing the crap out of the animal.





Gunplay is rather easy even for the shoddy of shot. A large reticle and precise aiming system guarantees that anytime the reticle turns red, you're guaranteed a shot at your target, no matter how near or far or hidden behind a fence he or she is. Explosives are also highly realistic, with very unstable TNT barrels threatening to blow up if you chuck them too hard, and explosions threatening to scald you or kill you from a close distance if you aren't quick enough to get out of their path.





An M rating really works not just for the violence but for a certain grittiness to the game that is really refreshing. From a fresh storyline full of twists and turns, including unexpected events regarding close people, to some really barbaric things to do, like slice up your horse, trample people, and scalp them (and their scalps really come off, exposing brain and skull underneath), there's lots of action packed into the game.





For as long as that lasts.





The only flaw with the game I can think of, the thing that separates Gun from Grand Theft Auto, is the shortness of the story.



While sidequests are fun, there is a point where you get tired of shooting buffalo and starting high noon shootouts by raising hell in town simply gets stale. The storyline opens up new fun to be had, but once the story's over, you're stuck with the best of weapons, the lack of side quests (unless you skipped them earlier) means the end of the story sees the rather quick end of gameplay altogether, unless you want to go for 100% completion or start anew.





Perhaps a result of the short storyline means the map is also very small as well. There are only two towns to visit---Dodge City and Empire---and very few stops along the way of any interest.





While the game has surefire replay value, it's shameful knowledge to know that a game as great as this is too good to be true---or too short to be true.





All in all, it's a great game and a definite buy---especially for the low cost Amazon merchants are offering---but the storyline's short length is a definite drawback to an otherwise extraordinary game

"I loved this game"
This is definitely one of the best games I have ever played. I found myself spending way more time playing this game than was healthy. I didn't really know anything about this game when I bought it other than the cover looked cool. The fact that you ride a horse is something cool. It is realistic as far as when you hit something you get hurt or what not and the plot is really interesting. I usually just skip over movie clips on games, but the little movies on this game are informative and are quite interesting. There are quite a few different weapons that vary quite a bit as far as not only power, but functionality. There are lots of neat side missions too. The only thing I was disappointed about was that the game wasn't as long as I wanted, but then again I didn't want it to end at all. I wish there were a sequel. This game is made by Activision and has similar game play to True Crime, so if you like that game and you like the old west theme, then you will love this game. It was definitely worth what I paid for it and I would do it again.

"A must-have for GameCube owners"
I am really enjoying this game. The graphics are great and the gameplay is fun. The storyline keeps you going to find out what happens next. It is one of those games that will keep you playing. I wouldn't be surprised if they came out with a movie based on the game. To me, this game is highly underrated. I highly recommend this game to action and shooter fans.

"GUN"
GUN is an awesome game where you play as a
cowboy in the 'wild west'. You can shoot indians
and other cowboys. This game is really good except
for the fact that it is very hard and is better
played by a skilled gamer.

"Good game but too short."
Gun is an awsome game. But I was dissopointed that this game was to short because it only took me 4 days to beat this game. That is the only con about this game but there is a lot more pros. Wich are good voice overs in the game the graphics in the game are not great but they are kinda good and the best thing about this game is that there is a lot of violence in this game! This game is good you should buy it.

"Sharpshooting fun", Ok, I actually bought this on a whim thinking, ok, a fun western game. The graphics are excellent, give an excellent storyline, but as everyone else has said, its a short game. you can make it longer by playing all the side missions, (bounty hunting, poker, etc) but it just needs to be like a 20-30 hour game not just 8-10. Its so worth the money though. One of the funnest 1 player games on the gamecube and Wii.

"great western outlaw", This game is fun iam not really into that whole western cowboy stuff but this game is fun. Its a great fun shooter great grapics and just very fun, when i first played this game like 2years ago i was impressed on how they can relate to real cowboy history and shooting most games can't capture the effect but this did. I still have this game and its still very fun, gamecube comes out with more funner games then just shooting games like games like sonic, mario, super smash brothers, naruto clash of ninga 1 and 2 kirby, time splinters 1 2 and 3, and more fun games, Shooting games you get board of but it depens on what shooting game it is, like this game gun its very fun with realistic design and background and shooting its kinda like you're actually in this game cause its realistic and very fun to handle, so this game is fun.

"Short but worth it", This game is preety short but thats the only bad thing about it. The gameplay in this makes up for it. Plus once you've finished all the objectives and the story mode you can go around and cause Showdowns in the local towns.

"Very Cool Game, Lots of Action", I was very surprised and impressed with the game, "Gun". It is full of Old West adventure and has a lot of different things you can do including the assigned missions. It's fun, challenging, and great for any fans of the Wild Wild West. I highly recommend this game. I am in the over 35 Adult Female group and I just love it. My husband even likes it and he never plays video games. Thanks!

"Yes, it is too short. But 5 stars baby!", I give this game the highest rating possible due to fact that it's just so darn fun. I love the fact that they made a top notch western genre videogame. Worlds better than any other I've played in the same genre (even Red Dead Revolver). It's the only game where i finished the story, then went and completed ALL of the mini missions for a 100% completion. I just couldn't get enough of it. This game kept me up 'til 2-3am a couple times on work nights. I'm 38 years old with a wife and daughter and I just don't ever do that anymore.

I think Gun would still seem too short if it was twice as long as it is because you just want to keep it going. While I have played shorter games, I just think with all they put into this one they could have worked just a little longer and added some more plot to stretch it out some. Aside from the duration, I have to add that the game is pretty much over by the time you earn all the cool extras. What good is it to have a super-mega shotgun and a warhorse if there's no more missions? I purposely am avoiding giving away any of the storyline and avoiding game details as much as possible because I think in this case it's important to reserve that for anyone who hasn't played it yet. I will only say that if you're reading this, you better just go and buy it right now because something about this game has your curiosity and with the price as low as it is now, it's a no lose deal and goes a long way to forgive the fact that it's shorter than you'd like it to be. Gun has my full endorsement.

I hope they make another, or one like it. They're onto something here.

Read this reviews before You buy...

"Grand Theft Horse", Gun has so much going for it, but it's such a short game that as soon are you build up your stats and really get going...there's no more of it to play. Which is quite annoying.

You play as Colton White (Thomas Jane) in a free-roaming western landscape. You can grab whatever horse you want, kill who you feel and take-on a fair amount of side-missions if you feel like taking a break from the main story, which is itself interesting but way too short.

The villains are all evil bastards but brilliantly acted by the likes of Brad Dourif, Ron Pearlman and Lance Henriksen. Other actors with cool voices like Kris Kristofferson and Tom Skerritt fill out supporting roles and the dialogue and cut-scenes are all pretty good and avoid the unnatural, forced feel that many video games have. Many of the characters and situations could have been fleshed out more but they merely conveniently contribute to the slight 'search for a hidden goldmine' plot.

The action of the game is brilliantly done (the controls take a little practice though), with great use of slow-motion when blowing large chunks of bad guy heads off. Weapons range from twin guns, rifles and shotguns to swords, bows, dynamite and whisky bombs. You can even scalp people, but it adds nothing to stats, so it's kind of pointless. Side missions can either be errand boy tasks, rounding up cattle or killing random bad guys. The destruction factor could have been higher, but you could say that about a lot of games.

The actual gameplay universe is quite small too. But it still feels superficially expansive. With loads of little valleys, railroad tracks and and coyote trails it can be fun exploring, but you'll get familiar with it too quickly.

My fave thing about this game however is the music. It's a shame it's not available on CD because it really is exciting and echoes John Barry's main theme to Dances With Wolves. With so many lesser video game scores getting CD releases these days I wouldn't be too surprised if the Gun score came out eventually.

Add it all up and you have a fun, if all too slight, game that is worth it if you can pick it up half price (like I did) but not a full RRP. If only they made it longer, we could have a classic.

"GREAT (but short) game", Gun is a very fun and enjoyable game, however, you can beat it in hard mode in about 12 hours. I tried it on insane mode and I still beat it quite easily and I've only had my GameCube for a few months. Aside from that the game play is fantastic! I never thought third person shooters could be better Metal Arms, but I was wrong. Like Metal Arms you move the icon around with the C anolog stick. No matter how fun it is this game is very mature so keep this away from the kids. There's scalping, killing, whoreing, cursing, and cruelity.
As the title claims guns are the key to this game's enjoyment, there's rifles, shotguns, sniper rifles, six shooters, and blend all of the above with a huge area to roam in(I dont care what the other reviews say sure there's only 2 cities but there's still plains, badlands, montains, and caves to explore, taking Not 5 minutes to explore but over an hour!) anyway the point is dont rent, buy and enjoy te west.

"Good, but far from perfect", GUN is an action game based in the Wild West.

The action in the game pretty much starts right off the bat, and at first it was extremely confusing from the controls and hard to get used to, and the heated firefights were frustrating because of them. Switching guns in a battle is quite a challenge, same with reloading.

Horseriding is fun, but about 5 spur-kicks and your horse is close to dying. And there is a lot of animal killing in this game, which isn't exactly cool in my books. You can kill horses, dogs, wolves, buffalo, deer, birds, anything you encounter.

The graphics are also weak, reminding me of something on Playstation, maybe.

I didn't beat this game yet, but I think I am close, and I bought it yesterday. That's not a good thing, because I read that Resident Evil 4 is a 20 hour game, and I beat it in 11 hours.

Gun has side-missions, but they lose their fun almost instantly, hunting is just shooting animals, gold digging is a non-interactive hunt for gold, tracking down criminals is just either killing them or capturing them, and cards is fun, if you know how to play, which I still don't, I just pick random options and I win.

If you have money to blow, this game could be bought. But if you want a quick action thrill, rent Gun for a week or less, and that's 40$ still in your wallet.

"Must Have Western Game!!!1", This game is for those longing to experience the old west. GUN is packed with non stop action, and thrills. A must have!

"Coolest voice acting ever, keep it up Activision...", A third person shooter set in Dodge and Empire of the Old West GUN takes a player to another time period in a fairly authentic manner. What this game does right is most often the special teams work, from the way your horse can saunter or gallop to the exceptional environments, you will be transported to a place far from the URBAN/Military environs we so often encounter in shooter/action games. The meat on the bones here is an exceptional story with some of my favorite voice acting EVER in a game, I mean how can CLANCY BROWN,LANCE HENRIKSEN,BRAD DOURIF etc.. not work for the genre. The open sandbox feel of the game is minimal until you get to Empire where much of the side quests and extras open up, unlike the initial Dodge level which allows for a couple side missions and some poker. I would have liked more interactivity in the gold mining (its automatic just press Y) and few more minigames like the poker tournaments, the game also could have used a little polish around the edges (it froze on me once during a load screen) and the controls can be a little complex. The representation of the GUN in the game is most felt with the QUICKDRAW (neo style slo mo)while cool and convenient you will find yourself relying on it too much, despite a wide array of weapons available including whiskey bombs. Finally the stats are a little thin for a sandbox game but there are enough to have fun keeping track of. Overall a blast and an incredible production as far as story and presentation go, not much replay value but I am sure the sequel will fix that. Recommended if the GENRE appeals to you, but it is for adults. 4.20 stars
