GUN™

Truly remarkable how a game released more than a decade ago can hold up so good. This is the Proto-Red Dead Redemption. The story is less realistic but it's seems to be more of an homage to old spagetti western films. While the portrayal of natives is as crude as in most western media, this game is not as basic as others. Here the identity of the main character and the way settlers treat the natives is intentional, and while brutal, it feels uncompromised with history. The only issue I have with the game is dificulty. The harder dificulty is Insane, and the controls don't allow for your skill to make up the difference. Play on normal or maybe hard. I bought it because I had memories of it as a child. And it lives up to my memory.

If you're a Western genre fan then I highly recommend you pick up this game. As many of the other comments mention this plays a lot like RDR before RDR was released. This released a little bit after Red Dead Revolver, the first game in the RDR series. Comparatively I prefer this game to Revolver, despite my Red Dead Bias. You can 100% this game in about 10 hours or so. Despite the dated game play this holds up real well. I just wish there were achievements for this game. It lacks automatic controller support, but I used the Steam Controller for it. Others have mentioned you can use controllers you just have to map the buttons yourself. Pick it up on sale, I don't think it's worth the current $20 price tag for what you get. I also played this on Linux (Cachy) and had 0 issues w/ it.

This is an excellent game if you love western-themed games.

Contrary to what some commentators have said, the controller support works just fine. You just have to assign the controls yourself. I'm using an 8Bit wireless controller with the dongle and it works as expected. The controls on OG XBOX were: - Y to Quickdraw - X to use melee weapon - A to jump - B to crouch and roll (while using left stick) - Left stick to move (no need to assign Walk) - Right stick to pan - DPad up to draw weapon - DPad down to holster weapon - DPad left to lean left - DPad right to lean right - Left trigger to throw molotovs and dynamine - Right trigger to shoot The 8Bit controller lacks some of the keys my old Xbox controller had, so I've mapped some keys of my own. Feel free to map these to whatever buttons your controller has. - Left shoulder for drawing shotgun/bow - Right shoulder to interact Right stick for drawing rifle (used to be Zoom for rifle) - 8Bit keys for switching between two chosen weapons (rifle/revoler; shotgun/revolver, etc). - 8Bit keys for drinking from the flask
