Gun | Xbox | 1440p | Longplay Full Game Walkthrough No Commentary

Full game longplay of Gun, a third person action western-themed game, released in 2005 for PC, Xbox, X360, PS2, GCN, and a year later for PSP. This being the Xbox version, running in 480p widescreen mode. Note: the weird pallete of colors screen is a problem with my capture hardware apparently.

Gun is set in the American Old West, specifically in Arizona, Colorado, Kansas and New Mexico in the year 1880. This includes cities and badlands with populated environments that stretch from the mountains to the plains of early Dodge City, Kansas. The story, written by Randall Jahnson, features several veteran actors, including Ron Perlman, Lance Henriksen, Kris Kristofferson, Brad Dourif, Tom Skerritt and the lead, played by Thomas Jane.

In 1880, Colton White and his father Ned are hunting game along the Missouri River. After Cole saves Ned from a grizzly bear, they board a riverboat to sell the meat. The riverboat is suddenly attacked by a murderous preacher named Reverend Josiah Reed and his men. After losing ground to Reed's men, Ned tells Cole to find a prostitute named Jenny in Dodge City. Ned then reveals he is not Cole's real father, and pushes him over the side to save him from the steamboat's explosion. Cole travels to Dodge City to find Jenny. After rescuing her from a gang of bandits, Cole learns from her that Reverend Reed came to Dodge City from Empire City, and that Empire's Mayor Hoodoo Brown would know of the preacher's whereabouts.

Alongside Read Dead Revolver, two of the best early western games, both released circa mid 00's. I was positively surprised at what the good old Xbox can do. If it wasn't for the obvious lower resolution, there isn't that much to differentiate between the X360 next-gen version. Framerate is steady, graphics are pretty simple when it comes to little details in the world, like textures on terrains and walls, but it's a very impressive late Xbox game. 480p and widescreen just an icing on the cake. To every western fan out there, it's a must see. Tho I kind of predict people of the today are too chicken shit and sensitive to even see the poor pixels called Indians bing shot at, in a video game no less! And you can even scalp them! The horror! But those people probably won't stay to see the whole story which is a very basic one, a trope of our times, something of a "white man bad, especially those nasty Confederates, Natives good", but still, it's easy to just see the game the way it is and not read into it too much to have quite a lot of fun. But beware of higher difficulty levels, the boss fights are quite ridiculous, their auto-aim is quite a sight to see. Every shot they make, they hit. It's almost the same with later regular soldiers. But anyways, quite a good game! 8,5/10.
