I've got this on pre-order on Amazon so, hopefully should be playing it at the weekend.

Quite looking forward to it, as the only Western themed game I've played has been an add-on to Half-Life a long time ago. It will make a change from the futuristic games I've been playing recently.

Gametrailers video review gives it a general thumbs-up.

Oh, and Horse-riding does look odd.

Just an update to my previous post in the preview thread.

Been playing the MP only and it's growing on me. I've experienced no disconnections from the games I've played just now although the controller disconnect issue is still there at times (not sure if this is happening to just me and if there is something wrong with my DUALSHOCK or it's happening to everyone who has the game).

I've collected enough money to unlock 3 characters ($21348) although there are 8 characters to unlock in total with you starting off with a choice of 5. I'm using the Rifleman class as it's got the rifle which is good for medium-long range and pistols for short. The graphics are nice, no slowdowns or lag encountered so far and the controls are good too (L1 to aim and R1 to shoot).

You can search what game type you want to play and join that server although you have to wait until the required number of players have joined the game and until that happens, you just play the game in a kind of "warmup mode" - just playing without gaining cash until the game starts.

Enjoying it so far though, nice shooter

EDIT: The controller disconnect issue I mentioned only happens when a red cross appears on screen - I'm assuming this is why the gameplay pauses due to lag and not the controller being disconnected?

I'm just going to go with my gut on this one and trade some games in for this tomorrow. I'm just too much of a fan of western's to give this a miss. Feel free to add me for any multiplayer fun- DaadyDee.

Edit: Can you create custom games and just limit the game to invited friends or players on your friends list ony, in the multiplayer?

Hey DaddyDee,

Just had a look and you can create a game (choose maps, number of people, length, etc.) and once you begin the game, you can then invite people on your friends list via XMB. Can't see a party system or anything similar...

Played about 3 hours of just mp last night. Great fun and the controls are spot on. Pretty much lag free if you use quick ranked game or search for low lag hosted games. There are no controller disconnects.....that only happens when you end up in a lag filled game which is rare. I would also advise you use this pre order code that was posted in the xbox section to unlock some stuff. (thanks to reddevil63)

Gamestop in the US issued pre-order codes and it works here as I have entered it.

The code is: 735S653J

This unlocks:

I love the feel of the weapons and when you hit someone you know about it.

Highlight so far was on one of the maps where ultimately the outlaws need to break into the stables and mount horses to get away...I was on the lawmen side and spawned up on a roof and picked off 3 of 'em (falling off horse) as they made a break for it.

Proper western action Best part still got the single player to discover yet.

yes mate that is definitely the lag/disconnect icon. Your controller is fine

Just picked this up from blockbusters, during the dueling what am i suppose to be doin with the R stick to make him pull out the gun?

[Zeeks]

Been in two minds about getting this over the last couple of days but the chance to pretend to be Emilio Estevez whilst humming "dead or alive" to myself has proven too much so I'll be picking it up this evening.

I'm interested in the online side of it but don't think anyone of my friends list will be getting it, so if anyone on here fancies a few friendly games drop me a friends request. I'll be on most of the weekend once I pick it up.

Yeah, pull it down (the R stick) so it's level with the holster, then a quick jab to the left (with the R stick) to pull the gun out.

i'll add you when I'm next on. I really enjoyed the multiplayer aspect of the game. The maps are pretty good, although a fair bit of it is blocked off to keep you 'in bounds'. Anyway hope to see some of you online soon
