Ive read a few reviews but im still a bit unsure, it would be good to get some views of some of the people that have played it here? I got it on PC. Played it for around 4 hours so far, and yeah it's a good laugh. Don't expect anything groundbreaking but it is good fun. Just got to a bit where you can pick a few missions to try (from Wanted posters), so it's not entirely an on-rails shooter as some reviews are saying. However, don't expect a huge amount of free-roaming.
I'm playing through as one of the brothers at the moment, but may give it another bash with the other one when I've finished it - there seems to be plenty of scope for an alternative game experience playing as the different brothers, as they each have their own weapons and skills.
If you've played the first one, the duels still seem more based on luck than your skill, although I do seem to be getting a bit better at them.
The voice acting isn't bad, and there's also a decent Western score running throughout, with even some quality "Young Guns" rocking tunes :D
I've been enjoying it, so can recommend it. I rented it on the PS3 and i must say i will be buying it also it's alot better then the first one so if you enjoyed that then you will for defo like this one also the multiplayer is alot of fun It is a canny good game, single player lets you choose between 2 characters, so it may have slightly different paths for each one in each level. Some levels are linier but a couple are more open. The dueling is a bit of a thing to get used to, you have to move the right stick to get hold of your gun then it will aim automactially. Online is good, only 5 modes but plently of maps, one mode Wild West Legends is an objective based game which differ between each map, there are 13 classes, 7 which need to be unlocked. Overall i say its a good game.
edit: I been playing the PC demo of the origianl, seems good but would you lot recommend it? Pretty decent game. A few issues online at the moment with spawn camping, players rage quiting half way through ranked matches, and alot of people dont seem to use their headsets but its refreshing to play a fps thats not in familar surroundings(Wars, sci-fi).
Has a great auto cover system too. Pretty good scoring system also. Basicly every kill nets you cash, but it also raises the bounty on your head.You also recieve a further cash bonus for getting a streak.
If you kill a guy who has the highest streak of kills at that time you get a higher cash reward. The cash can be used to upgrade your chosen class to improve health or running speed(for that match only).
Any money you have left at the end goes into your total cash which can then be used to unlock different classes. Thanks for the response guys, what with the credit crunch, I am having to be a bit more selective in my Gaming choices and wasnt to sure about this one.
After hearing your feedback, I will be picking it up come lunchtime.
Yee Haw!!! It is a good game, definitely a bit more Call of Duty-skewed than the first one, but is still very good. Don't like the quick-draw moments though.
The first one is very good as Ray, not so good as Billy. The mountain climb is particularly frustrating. For less than a tenner it's worth it though. I've only seen 4 screenshots of this game and had never heard of it till last month. Odd. Im normally OCD about every game. Great game, very entertaining and the multiplayer is just as good as the CoD games imo. Only downside to the game is the "love" triangle thing, theres no real need for it |
