I just got it today. It's really cool, infact it's probably the best wild west shooter i've ever played. The graphics are superb and the gameplay (especially with the preacher) is great.

The premise of the game is that you play as two seperate characters; a young guy that specialises in sneaking about and gunfighter-turned-preacher-turned-gunfighter who specialises in shootouts. The two characters are linked in the storyline but I won't go into any detail on that.

The only problems with the game as far as I can tell are:
1. The AI is a bit flakey.
2. Some parts can take several attempts to complete which gets very tedious.

I played it for a while, but I thought it fucking sucked. Especially the sneaking parts. Not to mention the loading times between levels.

You're right, the sneaking parts do suck really hard. But the shooting parts make up for it somewhat.

My load times are pretty quick, you're probably low on RAM.

I have 1 gigs of ram and if thats not enough, this game can suck my d**k. If my computer can run FEAR smoothly with fast loading times, it should run this one too.

I played, it and it doesn't come close to topping Red Dead Revolver, and at this point I'm sure no western game will.

red dead revolver wins and loses in the same stroke due to its multiplayer which is awesome if you dont mind only taking 8 or so characters (the rest are either horribly underpowered or buggy, 75% of the time bullets will reflect for the entire match making you restart unless you like just walking up and punching the entirematch, not to mention the power ups often cancel each other out in bugged out ways)

Gun would have seriously been the best (i almost want to buy it again to shoot horses) if it hadn't been fucking demo sized or if it had included some multiplayer :(

i rented red dead revolver and thought it was cool. The main character had a real gruffness to him that i liked. and that other guy with the two guns and the tophat was cool too.

I had a couple people asking me about gun and i had never played it. So i decided that i would try it out so i can at least give an honest opinion. I liked the shooting and all that but i got to the part on the steamboat where you have to shoot other boats with a canon. It was so ridculous that i got half way through and never played again.

Yeah, I didn't like gun so much. Red was awesome though. I dunno what it is about it, but it's a game I've always liked a whole fuck of a lot ever since the first time I played it.

I downloaded outlaws a while ago. That was fun too.
