    The graphics, sound, and gameplay all add up to an amazing gaming experience that is fueled by a well crafted story. The missions are varied, the characters are well developed, and the title comes together as *the best* western game ever to be made.
  2. Game Chronicles

    If you love a good western then GUN has all those clichéd moments with Indians, stagecoaches, trains, gunfights, jailbreaks, and everything else that has become a staple in western lore.
  3. AtomicGamer

    The gameplay's neither terribly exciting nor really unique in the world of action games, and what uniqueness we get from the setting is about all it really has (other than the core story which happens to be pretty damn good).
  4. TeamXbox

    Fast paced action, with a fast-paced storyline that ends much too soon. The game feels like an unbalanced mix of realistic combat and shooting gallery mechanics.

    Graphics are not top notch, not even close to it. Make no mistake, this game is a port of a PS2 game brought to Xbox 360 and it looks even less impressive than the Xbox version.
  6. MS Xbox World
    70
    GUN is a very fun game to mess around with, yet playing the Xbox 360 version felt very underwhelming when compared to the Xbox version.
  7. PALGN

    A quick and dirty port of a current generation game is a nasty move on behalf of Activision, especially when the Xbox 360 offers much more compelling software for a similar price.

    Easily one of the most fun games on the console. Not at all attractive but very entertaining. A definite pre-owned / budget purchase.

    Many of the complaints I hear about this game are about the graphics the game has. However I think that regardless of the graphics this gameMany of the complaints I hear about this game are about the graphics the game has. However I think that regardless of the graphics this game ought to be high on everybody's lists. It has been a long time since any console has had a good western game. Gun's exellent gunplay fun chase scenes and interesting side missions make it a classic game that anybody ought to play. And at $20 it's a great deal.… Expand

    This game may not show off the power of the Xbox 360, but it still has better graphics than the WII will ever have. Concerning the game I This game may not show off the power of the Xbox 360, but it still has better graphics than the WII will ever have. Concerning the game I found the gamplay area to be small and not enough opportunities to make money(more side missions). My opinion is this game should be bought but of coarse I like gun game, so it portrayes the title very well.… Expand
