Rating: Summary: A classic western game. Review: Ever since getting into gaming, I have noticed the growing trend of the 1st person shooter genre, the trend set by those wonderfull guys at ID software. Ever since Doom, each new game seems to be related to it somehow, all of them set in space or in the future, having you battle it out with hell spawn, or outlandish aliens. With weapons consisting of nothing more then hyper blasters and rocket launchers. I got sick of this overdone theme fast and longed for a 1st person shooter with a story, one that captured me and consisted of more then just blowing up crap.Then came Outlaws, a diamond in the rough, a hidden gem amongst the piles of other games that seemed to have everyones attention. Outlaws plays out like a classic spaghetti western. It consists of a wonderfull story that tells itself through handdrawn cutscenes and ingame action. You are a US Marshal, who has retired, but while away in town, outlaws set on vengence, kill your wife and kidnap your daughter, making your retirement shortlived. This game was originaly released in late 1996 and met with mixed reviews, most were to caught up in the phenomena known as Quake to pay it any mind but for those that did not, boy did they miss out. The graphics are superb for it's time, and the music is out of this world. The weapons are simple, real world weapons from the times of Jesse James and Billy the Kid. You can't shoot forever and you actually have to reload. This game takes skill and stealth. I have played through the single play mode countless times enjoying it more and more each time. After you are done with single player make sure to take advantage of the wonderfull multi-player modes. Outlaws plays well online with a 28.8 modem and is supported on Microsoft's, zone.com. It also is a great game for any lan party or the network at work. It is easy to start up and easy to play. There are many different modes to try, deathmatch, team deathmatch, capture the flag, and an original game called kill the fool with the chicken. It also developed a pretty big on-line community with many new custom maps always being created leading to endless replayability. Outlaws also has customizable taunt files you can bind to the f-keys. This realy adds to the game enabling you to yell out insults to your oponents. You can even record or import your own voice or clips from movies or what ever you can think of. All and all this game is a must have for any gamer who even hints at liking western movies. You can't beat the price for what you get. Don't pass this up, truly one of the greatest PC games ever made.
Rating: Summary: Excellent Western Sixgun shooter game Review: I had this game since early of 1997 and i'm still playingit. Of course i play many other games beside Outlaws, but it's nothinglike this game. It stand out above the other in it's uniqueway. Unlimited add/on maps (stock maps) over 4,000 new and add on mapsto download...
Rating: Summary: one of the best games i've played Review: I have played this game three times. It has a great story and is one of the most fun computer games i've played. The graphics may be a bit outdated now but don't let that deter you. The sound effects are hillarious. My husband and I would call each other some of the insults in the game. If you liked Grim Fandango buy this now.
Rating: Summary: Best, But Bloody Review: I havent played much of this game. But what I have played is Marvelous. Thats really all I have to say. But, this game does have a dark side too. All the blood, Gore, And some maneuvers Were just not exceptable. But other than that, I still give this game a 5 STAR rating. Yours truly, Anonymous
Rating: Summary: gameplay Review: i only have played the demo so far and the graphics are terrible on the basis on style but it runs lightning fast on anything and the gameplay is amazingly fun
Rating: Summary: Dated, but really fun Review: I'll start by saying that this game is really dated. If I'd written this review 3 years ago, I'd have given the game 5 stars. I liked the game so much for several reasons. First, it is one of the few old west games on the market - a genre that I think is far underutilized in the gaming industry. Second, the story is quite good. The opening cinematic is done cartoon-style, and so holds up well even today. The opening is quite long, and does a lot to get the player involved, and set a dark mood for the game. Third, this game has a more realistic damage system than most (but not all) other 1st person shooters on the market. Your character isn't armored to the hilt, and so one or two well-placed shots will likely take him out. Overall, if you don't mind the graphics this is a darned good game. As I always say - the play's the thing!
Rating: Summary: One of the Greatest Games of All Time!!!!!!!!!! Review: My friend and I played this game when it originally came out and we were blown away by the brilliant story, amazing cutsecenes, and tremedous gameplay. I was at my friends house and we found it in his garage. We had't played this game in around 8 years! We popped it into his computer and we brought back to the good old days when graphics weren't the only important thing about games. This is the best western video game. I hope you enjoy it as much as my friend and I did.
Rating: Summary: Class by itself. Review: No other western even comes close to this game. If you like to see the bad guys get whats comin to em then this is for you. It's definitely a keeper. Durango
Rating: Summary: Outlaws Review: Outlaws is a first person shooter set in the wild west. The story line is you play the hero and have to rescue your daughter from the villan. Built on a outdated engine with wonky physics, Dated graphics and a 2.5D design. Very dull gameplay with no atmosphere and a box of rocks AI. Gameplay is nothing but shoot the baddies, Find key, Open door, Shoot more baddies, Find another Key ect ect. Outlaws is very dissapointing.
