    What better way to scale how much fun this game is then to say that without a doubt that the level of enjoyment that you get with Lead and Gold is nearly unrivaled.

    Cowboys, sixshooters and nice multiplayer action. It's hard not to like Lead and Gold: Gangs of the Wild West. Save from some annoying spawn points, this is great multiplayer fun with charming graphics, a lot of content and many different game modes. A highly recommended download for everyone.

    You wanna feel like a cowboy? Well, Lead and Gold: Gangs of Wild West is a good shot. Its only weaknesses are the classes you can‘t change, and there aren‘t too many players online.

    If you’re more of a casual multiplayer gamer like I am, then Lead and Gold is neat game. Just don’t expect to be playing it for months on end.

This is old school multiplayer fun at it's finest. The game is simple, intuitive, easy to jump in, fast and beautiful. The maps are the best I've seen in a long time. I'll give it a 10 depite dedicated servers are still being developed. But with my 2MB connection I could host great matches with friends close to my location. Still for the low price the game is a steal, once dedis are out this will be a must for PC players specially.… Expand

    Just got this game a few days ago. So far I have been enjoying it a lot. No complaints thus far. No different than TF2 just with a western theme IMO.
