"Lucky Luke!Here's to You!"

Whether you know who he is or you don't really care the friendly Cowboy Lucky Luke and this game are worth your time.The gun slinging Dalton are out of jail again and they are wrecking Havoc on the Wild West.Lucky Luke once again has to capture the brother an put them away for good.The story is your average ''Good Guy chases a Band of Bad Guys'' Story.Sometime is makes for a good game ad sometimes it does not.But in this case the game is good.Maybe it's just because I am familiar with Lucky Luke from watching the show few years back.Maybe I just saw the game and thought ''Hey what a cool thing to get!''.So I did.Maybe I can regret it or maybe I can enjoy it and have fun.Either way this game is worth your time.

GRAPHICS

It has that Comic Book Game look to it.Animated characters scrolling from one side to the other.It's your average Shoot'em Up Side Scroller but with Cowboys and Bandits and sometime even Indians.But that's besides the point because the game is almost glitch free and the graphics are quiet nice.It is definitely a pleasure to play through the vast landscape of the town and all around the Wild West.

CONTROLS

Not that hard to catch on to and they aren't much of a hassle.Sometimes putting down Dynamite to blow things up can be dangerous and could hurt you but besides that the controls are easily mastered.

GAMEPLAY

Now how to describe the Gameplay?Well basically this game is more entertaining for those who know who Lucky Luke is.It might be hard to get the idea of what the game is about if you have no clue who the main character is and that could serve for a plot hole here and there,But over all the Gameplay is rather satisying.It is more of a kids game then something that adults or teens would play but nevertheless it can be enjoyed by all ages.

REPLAY VALUE

Well there really isn't any other then playing the game through few more times to say that you got the hang of it.The Bonus Games like the ''Shooting Gallery'' make for a great add in and could be one reason I sometimes like to replay the game.Other then that you basically got one game with only a story and it is more reasonable to play it once through and maybe try again to get a better time or brag that you beat the game quickly.

Over all the game makes for a great time but only maybe the first two times and should be considered as a rental game rather then something you would buy.Unless you are a Lucky Luke fan or like to collect Lucky Luke stuff then this game doesn't have much of a Fun Factor to it for you.It makes for a good hour or two of entertainment but that's about as long as the fun will last.But nevertheless it still has that fun to it and can be enjoyed more then once.
