Six-Guns: This Western Lacks a Plot, Doesn't Lack Bugs

27.04.2012

Graphics, Audio, Performance

Six-Guns looks very good, with impressive lighting effects and excellent 3D graphics. Even so, it's not console-level, and doesn't look as attractive as other 3D Android games such as . The audio is also well done, and the game features a sullen, Wild West-style soundtrack and lots of sound effects. It has few voice-overs, however, which makes sense considering the lack of plotline.

Performance is something of an issue. I tested Six-Guns on a Samsung Galaxy Nexus running Android 4.0.2, and the game ate up a lot of memory and battery life. Within just a few seconds of opening the game, my device was hot enough that I had to take the cover off of it, and battery life had decreased significantly. The game also has a lot of glitches, it occasionally crashes, and it takes around 30 seconds to start up, which is long enough that I found myself checking to make sure it wasn't frozen.

The Bottom Line

Initially, Six-Guns sounds amazing: It's a big title from Gameloft, and it's got great graphics, an attractive soundtrack, and a large world to explore.
