  1. The Wild West theme lends itself well to the FPS treatment, and the primitive weaponry brings an almost liberating freedom to the gameplay.
  2. If you’re a fan of the western era and you want a decent single-player experience, you can give DMH a try.

    A surprisingly engaging shooter that manages to turn what could have been another routine FPS into a rousing costume saga with a genuine feeling of epic sweep. [July 2004, p.64]

    This game is decent, it has a lot of flaws though.

    If your playing the original Xbox version of the game you can literally just aim near and it will just hit them anyways, I've never played the PC version, from what i know of PC version is much more harder. Because you have to aim. Graphics and the wild west cutscenes and even the graphics are well done and are really done by a developer that cared about their game.

I feel that Dead While this game seems to "play on rails", there are numerous games out currently which do the same, like Call of Duty. I feel that Dead Man's Hand is an excellent value, has decent graphics, and enough little extras like shooting objects for points, and the poker mini-game before each level to earn more ammunition. It's no Far Cry or Doom III, but it is a satisfying, dusty ride through the old West. Yeehaw! Full Review »
