    Easily one of the most fun games on the console. Not at all attractive but very entertaining. A definite pre-owned / budget purchase.

    If the graphics were better, or the game longer this would be a solid 9. Despite those two problems, this is an incredibly fun game. Especially in light of the dearth of 360 games at the current time, this is one you should play. Gun is clearly not an example of the power of the 360, there can be no doubt about that, but still a super fun game.

    Many of the complaints I hear about this game are about the graphics the game has. However I think that regardless of the graphics this game ought to be high on everybody's lists. It has been a long time since any console has had a good western game. Gun's exellent gunplay fun chase scenes and interesting side missions make it a classic game that anybody ought to play.

    This game may not show off the power of the Xbox 360, but it still has better graphics than the WII will ever have. Concerning the game I found the gamplay area to be small and not enough opportunities to make money(more side missions). My opinion is this game should be bought but of coarse I like gun game, so it portrayes the title very well.

    I'm really enjoying this game. They totally captured the feel of a western, the difficulty level/balance is very good, so is the voice acting, and I love the quick-draw mode. Recommended.

    People that didn't like this game are probably Final Fantasy or Doom addicts ! They should stick to what they like ! Gun is pretty much Grand theft auto on horseback. The ability to choose different difficulty levels and save anywhere should be in all games!

    £50 for this?. but its no diffrent to the ps2 xbox or pc version except £30 more. just a plain rip off. and the graphics are a real step backwards. gameplay is far to akward as well.

    GUN is GTA 200 hundred years ago. It was one of the earlier games released for the 360 but it was also available for the ps2 and PC, It was a very fun game with a great story and a great campaign and even after you beat the campaign there were side missions like hunting down animals or helping farmers or taking out some one who has a bounty on their head.

    Its a really good game. I remember buying it when I was about 6 years old. Fun with a good storyline. That's the way I like it. It doesn't have a huge map though.

    This is the game that greatly influenced what Red Dead Redemption was going to be. Great western feel. Open sandbox gameplay that also includes an intriguing storyline. Diverse amount of weapons to familiaize ,and upgrade, but not too many to make the weapons seem less unique. Horse riding is fun, and not difficult to master.

Horse riding is fun, and not difficult to master. The side missions are the only thing that's really missing anything at all. They are varied, but towards the end of the game do become a little repetitive. And interacting with the various town residents more could've added more side quests as well. The game has alot to offer, but leaves players wanted the game to be longer because of how seamless the playthrough is from beginning to end.

    I bought this a few years after it came out for just $20. It's a great game, other than the dated graphics. It's nonstop fun, thankfully it allows you to switch to first person when you're using your guns. Oh and it lets you scalp people before you kill them, how cool is that?

    gun is a purchase I still do not regret, the brilliant music, well developed characters, fast paced gunplay, and intriguing storyline, the graphics are slightly iffy, but decent considering the age, certainly a marginal improvement over the previous versions, I have slight issues however with the sluggish mechanics and lack of replay value when you have completed the game, the game worldgun is a purchase I still do not regret, the brilliant music, well developed characters, fast paced gunplay, and intriguing storyline, the graphics are slightly iffy, but decent considering the age, certainly a marginal improvement over the previous versions, I have slight issues however with the sluggish mechanics and lack of replay value when you have completed the game, the game world is also fairly barren with not much to do, but gun really shines while it lasts, the presentation, the atmosphere, and the gameplay make gun a rare gem for the xbox 360, just dont pick it up expecting red dead redemption levels of detail and replay value… Expand

    I like this game. I don't love it, but I like it. It's a good 3rd Person Shooter and was the closest thing at the time to having a wild west version of GTA, before Red Dead Redemption came along. One flaw I think this game has is the lack of an auto-save. I had to learn the hard way that this game doesn't save automatically. Other than that, it's good.

    A skillfully crafted work of art that delivers a high level of entertainment from start to finish, especially in high-definition and Dolby Digital audio (highlighted by great western music). But Gun won't jump out at you as a next-gen technological masterpiece--it's just too early for that.

    You've got a rich and compelling narrative, a twitch-happy gun mechanic, and a big landscape in which to explore. On the other hand, the controls are loose and a little sloppy, the targeting perimeter around each character is way too big and forgiving, so it's easy to be a bad shooter, and the vast landscape doesn't have much in it.

    You'll likely be so enthralled by the riveting story that you simply won't notice the hours flying by. Of course, that's also due in no small part to the fact that the game is unsatisfyingly short.
