Well it's about time. A FPS set in the old west. (I know Outlaws, but that was awhile ago). This a budget release but it has good production values. You play as a Mexican outlaw who is betrayed by his gang, shot in the back and left for dead. You go through the game seeking out the 9 members of your gang and takin care of business. It's built on the Unreal engine so it looks sweet, EAX positional audio works great and the game is just plain fun to play. You start in a prison(the training level) and work your way from Texas to Oregon eliminating the bad guys. There are levels on Horseback and a train to break things up a little. The physics engine is what I really enjoyed. You can roll kegs of gunpowder and shoot them at the right time to blow up the bad guys. You can shoot the brakes off wagons and send them careening downhill, there are cans, bottles, signs, pictures, and crates than can be shot, when you shoot them you get "legend points" and gain accuracy. The only drawback to the games is lame A.I.(duck shoot, duck shoot), a minor clipping problem and the playtime is about 6 or 8 hours. But it's a 14.99 title and you could do much worse. Maybe try the warez version if you are into that sort of thing.... 7 out of 10
