Gun
Neversoft has emerged from its Tony Hawk days with a high-action Western. But what does the 360 offer that the others don't?
by Douglass C. Perry
November 15, 2005 - After seven years of solely making Tony Hawk games, Neversoft, the Southern California developer that's made a mint on perfecting the best skateboarding games on the planet, has branched into new territory with a rowdy, spirited action game based on the Wild West. The subject matter of Old West shooters is hugely popular with gamers, who anxiously awaited Rockstar's Red Dead Revolver last year and have shown substantial interest in more Western goodness. Now, not only is the newly created IP on all the current gen systems, Neversoft stretched itself to put Gun on Xbox 360.

Why is there a dearth of Western videogames? Why has the Western been neglected so much in the videogame realm? Nailing the right control and camera system has something to do with it, but riding, shooting and generally interacting on horseback is also a concern. It's the same reason that motorcycle and bike games are so hard to develop -- the character and bike must physically react independently of one another but also work in synchronization. Camera angles have also been an issue. Neversoft hits those subjects head on and with general success.

Gun, however, is not the Western to beat all Westerns. Remove it from the genre, take it purely as a shooter, and it's less impressive. The vast landscape is too often vacant of action. The side missions are easy, even simplistic. And while the shooting aspects of Gun comprise an excellent set of weapons and the fun, arcade mechanism of QuickDraw, the lack of precision and wily controls will leave many gamers scratching their heads. There are both positive and negative aspects to Neversoft's western action game, and the positives win out, whether you play it on Xbox or Xbox 360.

very easy money

Hint by bobet_man on April 13, 2008  |  report this hint

if you want a whole wat-o-cash, just go to the tavern in the town (dont remember the name though, its the one where you meet jenny and shit), and go play poker, cheat your way to victory! its so easy and you never get caught, i also recommend buying a pick axe and going gold-hunting, i discourage going on bounty missions if youre looking for money cause youll just end up wasting your ammo.
