    From the team that brought you STAR WARS: Dark Forces Remaster comes the return of the 1997 western FPS classic, Outlaws!

    Saddle up and ride back into the Wild West with the gunslinging ex-Marshal, James Anderson, and face off against the good, the bad, and the even worse this side of the Mississippi as you work to uncover a twisted plot of greed and corruption. With your trusty six-shooting .45 Revolver, Scoped .44 Rifle, 10-Gauge Shotgun, and good ol' Sawed-Off 12-Gauge Shotgun, you'll be packin' plenty of firepower to take out all manner of outlaw varmints.

    Outlaws + Handful of Missions features high-resolution, uncompressed cutscenes and updated visuals for weapons, characters, and enemies, all fully recreated from archived art and stylized to match the original look with full color palettes. Outlaws + Handful of Missions also offers Cross-Play Multiplayer with game modes including Deathmatch, Team Play, Capture the Flag, and Kill The Fool With The Chicken!

    There aren't any major graphical improvements that would justify the $30 price tag. But Outlaws is a fantastic shooter, and I highly recommend giving it a try in any form.

    Long before Red Dead Revolver, Red Dead Redemption and Call of Juarez, we were immersed in the Wild West thanks to the video game Outlaws. It's now available in a solid remastered version. Unfortunately, the creators didn't fix the bugs that were present in the original game.

    For those of us who played Outlaws when it first came out, it’s a great treat to jump back into that world (especially without having to dust off the old CD and fiddle with compatibility modes). For those new to the game, the retro charm of the gameplay and the subject matter may be a fresh change from the standard sci-fi or World War shooter fare that tends to dominate the FPS category. Yes, there are some frustrating issues with the game… but those are simply elements we had to put up with back in the day, and the extra content provided here helps give you something to explore while your emotions cool from falling off a ledge or getting stuck figuring out where you need to go next. Worth a look for fans of the original release or for those who love a bit of retro gaming… maybe wait for a sale, but even at full price, there’s a lot here to enjoy or reminisce about.

    Outlaws + Handful of Missions: Remaster preserves the identity of the original while adding technical and gameplay improvements that make the journey more accessible to today's audience. Although its dated mechanics may put off players accustomed to modern shooters, Outlaws remains an important milestone for LucasArts and a valuable piece for those who appreciate the history of video games — especially classic PC gaming.

    Maybe it's not on par with GUN or Red Dead Redemption, but if you are into westerns and enjoy video games, this forgotten jewel from LucasArts now remastered by the pros from NightDive Studios is one you should not ignore. A hard yet very well done title, with satisfying mechanics and plenty of content to keep you entertained and coming back for more replays in the future. [Recommended]
