Outlaws

"I wish this game was still popular for internet play..."

This was my favorite game to play online. Though the graphics werent great, the gameplay was the best part.

Graphics: 5/10

Do you know how Dooms graphics looked? Well this is exactly like that. The enemies are in sprite form which allows many enemies on the screen at once, but by todays computer standards, it doesnt really matter anymore. The game also has cinemas. Which are done in my favorite type of animation....Toons. They are well animated, and I dont know why we havent seen more of this stuff. It really fit the theme of the game though. The walls textures look ok. The weapons look good when they are in your hands though.

Music: 10/10 if you like western music

The music fit the game perfectly. Which wasnt hard to do, due to the fact that it IS a western themed game ( I wonder what gave that away? ). You will most likely turn it off though. Not many people would like it I imagine.

Sound: 8/10

For its time it was good. The guns firing sound good, but the dynamite exploding sounds like crap. The voices are good. Nothing on here is to cheesy, so rest assured. Some of the things are funny, such as a dirty little song one of the bandits sing.

Story: 3/10

The retired sherriffs wife died, some western theif guy steals his daughter, retired sherriff goes on a hunt to kill the leader, finds out who killed his dad, good guy kills bad guy and we end up with a happy ending. Thats pretty much it in a nutshell. Its been done to death I know, but hey, this is western stuff cowboy!

Internet play: 10/10 (back when people played it)

I LOVED this game online. No one could tear me away from it. Of course, poeple dont play it online anymore, unless you and a couple of freinds get together to play LAN or something. And First Person shooter games have gone way beyond this, so dont even bother with it. Just a great peice of the past that is now forgotten....

Overall: 8

This game is actually quite difficult in some areas, and since singleplayer is one of the only things you will probobly be playing, you may like to know that its fun its hard in some areas but a challenge is what you want out of it right? There are also some downloads for this game you can download if you can still find them. The easter eggs in here are also quite neat. That is if you like a poodle wearing sunglasses that shoots at you from their eyes.
