Here's a thread where everyone can play since it's coming out for every console. I have high hopes for this game. I already love Old West themes in games (Red Dead Revolver rocked), now add in the non-linear "sandbox" GTA-style of gameplay and this could be one of the better games of the year. So far there have been three reviews for various versions with scores of 9.5, 9.4 and 4.5/5. Very promising. Out today, the 8th (or maybe it's tomorrow the 9th, call your local game store).

When life robs Colton White of all that matters, the only thing left he can trust is his GUN. From award-winning developer, Neversoft, and accomplished screenwriter, Randall Jahnson (The Mask of Zorro, The Doors), GUN follows Colton on his quest for discovery as he seeks to exact vengeful justice on those who have wronged him. GUN is a realistic epic action/adventure that lets gamers experience the brutality of the lawless West.

* New and savage ways to punish: Stealthily sneak up and attack your enemies, use them as cover, stab, shoot, or scalp them. Blast away and watch the aftermath, shoot guns out of enemy hands, or destroy with dynamite.

* Extensive variety of missions and game play: Wage war on horseback, commandeer trains, protect whores, collect bounties, play poker, hunt buffalo, and more.

* Multiple game play styles include: precision shooting, stealth tactics, and use of explosives.

* Unlock secret weapons and upgrade your skills and abilities to improve your weapon and equipment performance.

* Brutal realism: Act as a gunslinger protecting righteousness, or seek retribution as you face corrupt lawmen, warring tribes, cold-blooded outlaws, and ruthless renegades.

* Encounter legendary gunfighters such as JJ Webb. Employ a multitude of authentic weapons including: Six shooters, shotguns, Gatling guns, flaming arrows, hatchets, dynamite, and more.

* Expansive interactive world: Play an extensive variety of exciting missions as you journey west across the new frontier. Ride on horseback through the scenic, yet dangerous Western terrain of canyons, mountains, plains, forests, gold mines and towns.

Same game with better texturing, lighting, draw distance, and some added ambient life. This was according to a GI article some months back.

I'm hoping Activision sends me the game for review because I simply don't have the extra money for a lot of games right now. Man, college is a bitch!
