Gun is one of the few FPS titles in the Western genre. And by Western, I mean cowboys and indians. The story begins by telling the tale of Colton "Cole" White, the part you get to play. Using a mix of truth and fiction, the game winds its way through the wild west lands of Colorado, Arizona, Kansas, and New Mexico. The Year is 1880, and its a rough time where gun hands are sought to solve the tough problems of the time. As Cole, you get to play the part of a hero of the wild west, with all the skills expected of a gunslinger.
The characters and storyline introduced are very much what you would expect in this genre. Its reminiscent of old Western movies that Hollywood used to crank out, so if you enjoy that, you'll find a lot to love about this game as well. People are fairly authentic in their dialogue, the bad guys are notorious, and saving the innocent has never felt so honorable and just.
There is one significant negative with the game's storyline however. The story is noticeably short, ending just as you are really getting to enjoy how fun the game really is. If you choose not to do the side missions, the game is over before you are even ready. If it weren't for this one factor, the game would be exceptional. This one facet however, is severely limiting on what could be a truly singular gaming experience.
