    Lead and Gold is like Team Fortress in wild west style, but lacks innovation and long-time motivation. Nevertheless it's worth a look.

    A nice multiplayer shooter that borrows rigorously from genre staples, but doesn't really add anything new besides the western theme. Can't beat the price, though.

    Lead and Gold's straight-shooting multiplayer action is good fun, despite a few drawbacks that tarnish its appeal.

    If you’re more of a casual multiplayer gamer like I am, then Lead and Gold is neat game. Just don’t expect to be playing it for months on end.

    Above average multiplayer first-person shooter in an unconventional western stylization looks good, sounds great and plays excellent! [July 2010]

    There is a slim chance that Fatshark will eventually manage to fill Lead and Gold with content, like Valve did with Team Fortress 2. But right now the game is not worth its $15.

    Fun and nervous, Lead and Gold will certainly fit to the gamer who only wants to let off steam a little bit. But for the others, a couple hours will be enough to see all the game have to offer.

    There's wild west fun to be had within these simplistic charms, but it's unlikely to replace your favoured multiplayer shooter. [June 2010, p.103]

    Despite some nifty enhancements to teamplay and a great western setting, Lead and Gold somewhat falls through with sloppy weapon physics, lag issues and weird design choices.

    Just got this game a few days ago. So far I have been enjoying it a lot. No complaints thus far. No different than TF2 just with a western theme IMO.

    This is the one of the best multiplayer shooters I have played for a very, very long time. It's fast paced and looks great! Worth every penny.

    This game has potential if it improves everything in the game.

I hope there will be new options like character customisation, new maps , new game modes etc. Right now there are just a lot of better games for the same price like Team Fortress 2 for instance. This game is good but don't expect to have any groundbreaking experience.… Full Review »
