Review by Andrew Hayward:
"Wild West Guns may draw from a long line of light-gun favorites -- notably Duck Hunt, Lethal Enforcers II, and any number of live-action-video arcade shooters -- but considering its structure and support of the Wii Zapper peripheral, Gameloft's WiiWare title is pretty clearly positioned as a Western-themed spiritual successor to Link's Crossbow Training. Realistic (era-appropriate) firearms, dust-covered storefronts, and clichéd cowboys and Indians replace the fantastical settings and familiar characters of Nintendo's Zapper pack-in, but the serviceable shooter never really differentiates itself from its obvious inspiration -- even retreading too much of its own ground before the bite-sized experience concludes."
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.
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.
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."
