Pocket Gamer reports on Gameloft's second WiiWare conversion for the iPhone, Wild West Guns. The game was announced via the company's Twitter feed - a first for gameloft.
Pocket Gamer: Thanks to Wild West Guns, I have a whole new moral compass.
The next time I run someone down, shoot him in the head, or steal his horse I won't feel bad about it at all. I won't even panic about the police being on my tail.
To rid myself of any guilt, all I'll do is nip into my local church, or even drop my local Big Issue seller a couple of pence.
Zentendo: "Wild West Guns is best looked at as perhaps a good first attempt. It has good settings and sound to suck you in to the Wild West theme, but the actual gameplay just falls short. The controls are great and responsive, but the game itself is just too repetitive and gets boring quickly. If more variety had been added then perhaps a higher score could have been given."
Have you played Wii Play target shoot? Then you've played most of Wild West Guns. To Gameloft's credit, they squeeze more fun out of similar lightgun challenges – combo chaining for massive scores is addictive stuff and interactive backgrounds allow for experimentation. The cowboy visuals are nicely handled, though how the same female hostage ends up in the middle of every bandit shootout is beyond comprehension. Here's hoping she's not your partner in the decent two-player mode. Not dissimilar to Point Blank and, likewise, better in small blasts.
