"New Western Game"

Introduction: The Developer's of the Tony Hawk skater franchise made a new game but its not no skater game no no no it's way before skating ever came out. Its back in the old western days or should I say recent western days and there are no crimes because there is no law anyways lets get to the reviewing….

Graphics: 8.5/10

The Graphics was great especially the scenery when you want to run from town to town. But I found that the would some times when you wanted to run up to slash them with your blade, they would go through the wall so you would have to run around to the room and cut them again just to find that they go through the wall again.

Sound: 9/10

The sound was good but not excellent nor great just good. you would sometimes have to aim your gun at everyone to see who was the one talking to you to start a showdown.

Controls: 7.5/10

The controls are hard to get use too because it took me a while to get use to the looking around and I would like to see more controls in it not no melee and one shooting button and when you wanted to dive and roll when you did you would end up kneeling down at the end and get shot up.

Game play: 9/10

The game play I liked. I liked running around on a horse but what I didn't like was that there are only two towns. A gang town and a regular old western city all you can do inside of town is gamble, work for the pony express, work for law and have showdowns (which is where the whole town pulls out their guns and start shooting at you). But outside of them too was a apache tribe and a blackfoot tribe, apache and black foot tribes might be a little offended by this game, im Sioux so I was a little but it was the truth white versus Indians (you can hunt animals for the Indians, mine gold and work for the ranch). When you shoot you can go into a quick draw which makes everything into slow motion. Plus I just have to say that this game is short took me two days well one and a less than half days to beat it.

Story: 10/10

You're a cowboy named Colton White. You're having a normal day shooting animals with your dad, you go onto the boat and the boat is attack and your father dies so your out for revenge and find some stuff that your character never knew about himself.

Weapons: 7/10

Weapons are not enough either because you gain weapons during your adventure so you don't get to buy your own weapons. They go handgun, rifle, shotgun, sharpshooter and my personal favorite the bow And three melee weapons. You gain the second one at the beginning and the last one at the end of the game.

Replay value: 3/10

There is no replay value except if you want to run into town for one showdown before turning it off again.

Rent it or buy it?

Renting it would be the best way if you want to buy it wait until it hits about 20 dollars per game for it.

Pros: um the graphics I guess
I guess the horses too

Cons: too short of game
I wish you could buy your own weapons not gain them.
