Sep 13, 2011With all the chaff you have to swipe through on the Kinect, you can forget just how good it feels when something just works. That's exactly what The Gunstringer does: It works, and in a smart, slick way that feels simultaneously natural and fresh.

Sep 13, 2011At four hours, Gunstringer's a short ride, but it's a thrilling one you shouldn't miss.

Sep 21, 2011While I really love the game and think it's an outstanding showcase for the Kinect technology, it's also very short - it'll take you maybe six hours to beat it on normal mode, and while there is a lot of additional content in the form of the in-game store and even a free live-action FMV DLC game, I would recommend waiting for a small price drop to about $25-$30 unless you fall in love with the demo. If you love that, then you'll definitely get $40 worth of value out of the entire package.

Sep 13, 2011A great example of what talented developers can do with Microsoft's Kinect technology when they think creatively...Twisted Pixel's original characters and oddball sense of humor -- married with enjoyable gameplay -- add up to a special gameplay experience worth of your time if you own Kinect.

Sep 20, 2011The game is entertaining enough to replay, and there are enough extras to provide even more incentive to return to The Gunstringer.

Sep 16, 2011It's short, shallow and repetitive, and where humour might elevate the experience, the pointless and clunky motion controls drag it down again.
