Activision - GUN™

Typically I don't write game reviews but this one I think warrantet it. Activision's "Gun" had a lot of potential and still does if they would give more of the free game play that Rockstar Games applied to the Grand Theft Auto series or
Max Payne. If this game had been released in 2001 and on Playstation I wouldn't bitch but come on.. You can almost tell that they cared more about the blood and gore factor to attract the kiddies rather than giving full game play to the buyer. You basically end up with two towns and a huge amount of empty space between the two. The storyline isn't bad but there is a certain degree of ridiculousness that they apply to make the game more difficult. I give the game a mixed thumb ranking but the scenes in the game where you get to use the cannon and howitzer are really awesome; hell even the secret gun you get once you complete all of the missions is fun although I really think they should beef up some of the side missions and expand the board with a town or two more. Maybe hide osme of the guns throughout the board so it doesn't take you forever to save up with your $10 wage to buy the really cool shit.
