    This game is what happens when Team Fortress 2 and Red Dead Redemption have a child.
    Honestly, it is. Good, cheap, fun, easy to be good at.

    You have to give it a chance. When i had my first few games i was a bit disappointed, but somehow i knew it was a good game so kept at it and must say i now really enjoy it. There are a few issues but nothing that cant be solved with future updates as the devs are very active within the community which is great. Id like to give it a 7.5 for its fun gameplay, stunning visuals and for its You have to give it a chance.

    Lead and Gold is a good game with some good old gameplay,but the menus are quite old and dull,and server browser is kinda bad.Gameplay are limited,but if you think this downloadable game is interesting to you,just buy it,its cheap now.

    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.

    This game has potential but it stills needs much improvement before I'd ever consider buying it. Lag and lack of dedicated servers are still very much an issue. The Developers are fairly nice though and they do communicate with the community. I'd say wait before buying until they polish the game more. As I see it, it's still in beta.

    I do not have a good memory of this game, as the servers worked quite badly and there is no offline mode; almost no one played. Personally, I prefer the online mode of games such as Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood. The idea was interesting, though.

    Cowboys, sixshooters and nice multiplayer action. It's hard not to like Lead and Gold: Gangs of the Wild West. Save from some annoying spawn points, this is great multiplayer fun with charming graphics, a lot of content and many different game modes. A highly recommended download for everyone.

    The class-based gunplay between teams of dusty scavengers is fast and dirty, but there’s a sense of strategy that rewards slowing things down a beat and keeping an eye on your fellow cowboys.

    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.
