    This game is solidly in my top 5 worst game stories of all time. It's one thing to have no story, or a bad story. But to pretend that you're writing something important when you're writing absolute garbage is something different entirely. The only twists you can't see coming are because they're so incredibly stupid that they're impossible to see. I would be This game is solidly in my top 5 worst game stories of all time. It's one thing to have no story, or a bad story. But to pretend that you're writing something important when you're writing absolute garbage is something different entirely. The only twists you can't see coming are because they're so incredibly stupid that they're impossible to see. I would be shocked if more than 1% of the people playing the game couldn't see exactly how the game would end after the first minutes of the opening cutscene. It's THAT cliched. The gameplay isn't anything special, either. Typical FPS, but this one's set in a Western atmosphere. I'd really like for someone to actually get this right at some point, because the setting of the West offers interesting potential. There's an unacceptable amount of draw-in and pop-in, and EVERY SINGLE MISSION AND SIDE MISSION ending in the game's botched quick-draw duel system is beyond horrible. Hang 'em high, boys.… Expand

    Amazing game, good story, very good scenarios, the duels system really sucks is a aberration, but the rest of the game is amazing, if you can, play it now

    With detailed attention paid to its more lacking qualities, there's no reason why this couldn't burst into a full-fledged contender in the FPS genre. However, such was also the argument made for its predecessor.

    The game may not be long but what it lacks here it makes up for in quality. A soild and enjoyable shooter which everyone should experience.

    A really fun title. I enjoyed the western setting as well as a couple of the twists that were in the story. In addition the fact that I can go through the campaign a second time and get a slightly different view of events is a great idea.
