The graphics and sounds will only keep the spirit of the Old West alive as you take out hundreds of outlaws with a few pulls of a trigger. Add addictive multiplayer modes and a low price tag of $29.99, Dead Man’s Hand is easily the best buy so far of 2004.
There are way too many technical problems to list, but it makes up for them with a cool theme, fun environmental interactions, a decent story, and gameplay that's, well, fun. [Apr 2004, p.106]
7 / 7 / 6 / 7 - 27 [Vol 821]
Out of the box Dead Man’s Hand is a huge disappointment and a classic example of a great idea marred by poor or just sloppy game design.
Not good, not bad and not ugly, Dead Man's Hand might give Western junkies a weekend's worth of hootin' and shootin', but I wouldn't choose it over a night in a feather bed with Miss Kitty.
If you’re as attracted to the prospect of a Western shooter as I was, don’t let the ho-hum score detract you. Just don’t come crying to me when you’ve beaten it in a weekend, can’t stand the multiplayer, and have since found other uses for that $40.
Technically, ... Dead Man's Hand is a mess - which is a shame because this could have been a whole barrel of fun. [May 2004, p.107]
