| garethvk's Full Review: Gunman Chronicles for Windows |
At first it could be easy to overlook this product, as it is a total-conversion of the classic Half Life that was created by a group of new programers the world over. Many of the team had not even met one another as they worked on the project. That being said, they game is fantastic, the work that resulted is a fantastic 3D action shooter, with an enjoyable storyline.
The player is cast in the role of Archer, the new leader of the Gunman. The Gunman battle enemies in the galaxy keeping it safe for colonization. The General of the Gunman was lost in a mission years ago, and in the time sense, deadly alien Xenomes have been raiding the colonies and killing all they find.
Before long, Archer is deep in the mix, and being assaulted of all manner of creatures, in a all out war for survival and to end the Xenome menace.
The game is a solid program, and has a very gripping and involving story. I especially enjoyed the level where the player gets to use a tank, and the enemies are very well designed and amongst the best ever created for a 3D shooter. The weapons in the game all have multiple settings for different abilities, and this can make for some great strategy when playing online. Here is hoping for another chapter in this series in the near future.
