Summary: This should never have been published.
Review: Shocking words aren't they? You'll have to read my explanation carefully before you go off crying.

The game is great! There is absolutely no doubt about it. The levels sport some phenomenally high levels of detail, as well as careful attention to texture placement. (Half-Life had some badly misaligned textures) The new enemies are carefully thought out and nicely detailed. Everything that needed to be done right was certainly done right here.

Except for a few gripes. Beginning with the game's length. The game is too short to justify spending $39.99 ($29.99 with rebate as of this writing) ReWolf developed this game, not Valve. Before Sierra approached this team of developers for publishing rights, ReWolf wasn't even a team of professional developers, most of them were amateurs like you and me. A group of people who loved the game so much that they decided to get together to make their own levels to play. I'm too good of a game player to have a game as short as this to last me any reasonable time. Coupled with too linear levels the game just rushes by. How many distinct areas are there? Three, four? I don't know, it all went by so fast. So what would have ReWolf done if Sierra didn't approach them? Same thing that every one else would have done. Post it on their webpage and become one of the hottest downloads since Team Fortress Classic or They Hunger.

The game pulls some amazing stunts with a drivable tank and an attacking dinosaur but there was never enough. How much more could ReWolf have added to the game if the free roving tank was better utilized? Could ReWolf have added a "free roving" space craft? With the awesome skill of including the tank why were the levels so darn straight forward? It didn't matter that I sometimes had no clear idea of what was happening, there was only one direction to go in. Why was the "training" session so short? The learning curve and the control adjustment for better utilizing the multi-weapons are a bit sharper than usual. The game is like high school love. It flares in intense passion for only a short while and when it finally goes away, there's an empty void, and you're left desperately looking for something else to fill that void. Remember this game has quality not quantity. Which one do you want?

Summary: It's the same as Half-Life but with a good ending
Review: Since i'm a PC gamer i'd say this game is just the same as Half-Life , even my friend thought it was a level i designed for Half-Life , i was disappointed at first of the game but then i start to like it especially when you drive the tank in last few levels , considering Half-Life was (and still) a great game with a great story line you can't compare it to Gunman Chronicles cuz Half-Life is waaaay better than Gunman Chronicles , take my advice if you want the game try to download the demo before buying it cuz you may not like the game , by the way the only good thing in the game is that you'll get a quite good ending i mean in Half-Life you won't know what well happen to Gorden Freeman , but in Gunman Chronicles you'll see a good ending for a good game.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Get this game, its alot of fun
Review: The old West theme really works. They do a great job with the robots and the old west bandits. The weird 1970s version of outer space art is really imaginative and colorful. AWESOME GAME. The aliens look like desparados and the AI is above average. Its long and lots of fun for just a few dollars. This game got a raw deal in the ratings.

Review: the single player part of the game is fun, but the best part of this games is the multi-player on-line side . . . oh yea, the action is fast & in your face, the weapons need to be customized as you pick them up & the gunman world is small (that is what I like). This game you will only find 5-10 servers on-line at a time, but don't let that fool ya, there is always someone to do battle with & the full time players are some real friendly types too! One of the servers is PostalsPlace.com, it is a 10 player TEAM server hosted by the MIGHTY -=[PoSt@L]=- UNION . . . what a good bunch of guys to visit & play with, tell them I sent ya !

Summary: Gun this one down!
Review: This game had extremely lousy/lossy graphics, which should not be an issue anymore. The plotline of this game was interesting, but the targets were too hard to whack and there was an extreme paucity of weapons and ammo to defeat these intergalactic buggers. This game, like Alice, had to be played in Cheater/God mode all the way to the bitter and quite dull ending. And when any game forces the player to resort to that artifice, it usually means the game is a real ....

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: If 6 stars were available I'd choose 7.
Review: This game rocks!! If you loved Half-Life you'll love this game. In my opinion it is at least as good as, if not better than Half-Life. Superb graphics/sound & storyline to keep you on the edge of your seat consistently.

Summary: Almost...but not quite
Review: This had the potential to be a great game, but fell short. The other 3 three reviews on here are a bit harsh I think. If you can find this game... as I did, it is a very entertaining game. Being built on the Halflife engine is a plus too. I thought the female voice over of the computer lady was excellent and that the computer lady character itself was pretty cool too, but was kind of out place in this game's setting though. There needed to be more variety in the different levels of the game. It spent way too much time in the second area, the alien planet, than it should have, and too short of a time in the western area which was excellent in my opinion. But I have to say that the previous three reviews made this game sound a whole lot worse than it actually is. I enjoyed the game for what it was and I think most people who enjoy good entertaining fps games would probably enjoy this one too.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Half-life...............Half-length
