Good Fun in the Old West,
Gun for the XBox lets you become Colton White, the 20-something gunslinger who is out to avenge his father while tracking down a mysterious object.
In essence this is an action-RPG with you moving from mission to mission, learning more as you go, gaining skills and new weapons. Most missions involve shooting down waves of bad guys with your rifle or revolvers. There are numerous side missions, from pony-express relays to poker playing and tracking down wanted men.
The game is pretty typical of its genre. Pony express missions involve “go here! No, go there! Wait, go to a third spot!” within a time limit. Hunt-and-find missions abound. The plot is also pretty standard. You start with Colton and his “dad” out tracking some game. “Dad won’t last more than one mission,” says I. Sure enough, in the very next area he’s slain. Life was cheap in the Old West.
The graphics are sort of a mixed bag. On one hand they don’t look “stunning” in some parts, at least as high-quality as you’ve come to expect from recent XBox releases. On the other hand, sometimes when you’re riding your horse across the desert and the sun is setting behind rock formations, it is simply *gorgeous*. I also have to comment that the horse movements are really nicely done. The way the horse’s muscles move and the various gaits are right on.
The sound is reasonable. The voice acting isn’t bad, and beyond that you just get the shot noises from the various guns. It’s not in your face, but really it doesn’t need to be. Being in the west was about being in a vast landscape with silence around you.
There were a few glitches with the game. If bad guys were up on the second floor of a building, you could often see their shadows *through the floor* to know where they were. Also, the red dots on the mini-map to point out enemies was nice, but it also gave you a sort of xray vision to pinpoint their locations even if you couldn’t visually see them.
I know this is a mature title, but I found the excess of blood spurting and obscene language to be a bit much. This was the Old West, and yes, there was blood. It doesn’t need to rain across the entire screen. Yes, they were cussers. But the language they used back then would have been different than some of what they say in the game. I’d much rather have had authentic badmouthing than to have them use some of the nasty phrases the game features.
That all being said, I did have a lot of fun playing this, even if at times it felt a bit like I was Link riding all over Hyrule doing my various quests. We’ll have to see what Gun for the XBox 360 is like next!

|Fun, but to plain,
Before this game came out I thought it would be one of the best games of all time. I’m not saying this game is bad, it’s just not what I was hopeing for. The gameplay is pretty simple. The levels pretty much just killing whoever the enemy in the area is, moving explosive barrels, tracking a bad guy…those I’m fine with. The story based missions are okay, very well written. The side missions that you do to gain more stats, to me, are stupid. Just the same variation of the same mission over and over. The Pony Express missions pretty much are just picking something up and dropping it off to someone else. The item usually changes, but other than that, just catching a bad guy from a wanted poster.
Graphics aren’t bad. The cut scenes are pretty good. Just looks like your normal X-Box game graphics. The controls are easy to learn.
Overall I think the game is pretty fun, but too repetitive. You’d be glad you rented it and didn’t buy it, but it’s worth the rental just to see if it’s your thing.
