“One of the better western themed games, quite enjoyable despite the game not being necessarily long but it allows some side content outside of the main plot.”
“childhood game, love it, wish it had controller support by default but its no big issue”
“The prototype for the Red Dead series, but not made by Rockstar and coming out a year after Red Dead Revolver. So much for what that series is known for can be directly traced back to this. It keeps the open world…”

“Old school PS2 port. THE Western game before Red Dead. The game can be short or as long as you want it, there are side quests and upgrades. The story is pretty good, with a ton of twists. It's a bit dated, but still…”

“reminds me of my childhood. amazing game as always. worth the money”
“Good old days of nestolga, I miss my ps2 days, weekends renting a good game and just playing for hours. Defiantly worth the buy.”
“never beat the boss on xbox back in the day, could barely beat the ♥♥♥♥♥♥ now. great game from start to finish. finding and grinding the gold is great, bit buggy with the animal killing for the indian but overall…”

“Not really a game I would recommend to people unless you're really curious to see what it's like. A lot of people say this is some sort of spiritual predecessor to Red Dead Redemption, but it does everything so much…”
“Great game great story great soundtrack great weapons sounds game of my childhood!”

“GUN offers a classical western experience. This is one of the games that you don't associate Activision with. Sure, it didn't age that well but with the widescreen fix and the fps mod you can make it enjoyable enough.…”
“In 2026, [i]GUN[/i] is not an enjoyable experience. This feels like one of those "You just had to be there" kind of titles largely coasting off nostalgia. The world is tiny, the story is linear, the main character looks…”
“We have Read Dead Redemption at home. Jokes aside, there's nothing this game did that RDR didn't do better.”

“With these controls, it's like jacking off with duct tape mittens. Great f'n game, otherwise!”
“childhood game, love it, wish it had controller support by default but its no big issue”
“Not good for Steam Deck. No controller support, and binding the inputs to the Deck controls does't really work well. It's disappointing, I loved this game on Xbox and I don't have any interest in playing it with a mouse…”

“I couldn't beat this game 20 years ago. I finally completed it. 10/10 Save often! I had a few crashes that cost me a couple of hours of replay.”

“This is simply put, my favorite game ever made. It's not too long, graphics are decent for a 2005 game, and the gameplay is stiff. But the story is solid if you like westerns. This is one of the first videogames I played in my life, so for it to hold up 20 years later is nothing…”
— a player, Steam review · 8 hrs played“This game is the best western game released in terms of story and is very enjoyable for a 2005 game. Worth picking up on sale used to play this on OG Xbox and bought it just to replay. Recommend controller to play in my opinion.”
— a player, Steam review · 9 hrs played“You can tell the developers of Red Dead must've played this game a lot! I like to imagine this game as a weird Red Dead spin-off/prequel. Quick draw, Open world, very brutal but has that classic Neversoft humor. Good voice cast and a story that takes itself (mostly) seriously”
