I rented the game, and I was speculative, but I found out that I was overall impressed with it. GUN, which the lead character is Thomas Jane as Colton White -- is about his life; and the answers he seeks in it. He's been done wrong in his lifetime and he wants to know why.
The storyline itself is incredible. However, like another person pointed out, it moves a bit too fast. It's storyline is that of an action adventure drama. They threw just about every element of a Clint Eastwood style western gunslinger into this game.
It's very bloody and violent. There is a cutscene where a doctor has his head cut off, if that is any indication of exactly how bloody it is. Also, you are given the opportunity to dismember people you get into gunfights with. (Shooting them in a joint on their arm, leg, or in their head, with normally blow their head clean off.) It also has a lot of swearing. This definitely isn't a kids game. This is without a doubt as bad, or worse than letting a 13 year old play San Andreas.
But.. if you can see past the swearing, the excessive blood and gore, it's a pretty good game on the whole. It has a good storyline, with the hitch that it progresses too quickly, a nice cast of characters, with very good voice acting.
Now, onward. To the specifications of the game. The game is amazing with graphics and detail. That being said if you play it on computer you won't find that it's easy to run. I have a very high end computer and I still lag on occasion. Just keep that in mind.
Eh.... what else. Getting back to the summary line. I think this would make a good movie, because of the story. This could easily be stretched to a 1 1/2-2 hour movie, which I think would be great. Some people would probably call it a "The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly" rip off, but I'd like to see it anyway.
My rating - 9/10.
