Review: The best western since Unforgiven - and you can play this one - I like some Western films. I like the good ones, mostly involving Clint Eastwood. This puts many of those to shame. The wide vistas, the stirring soundtrack... it's the closest thing to being in one of those movies. The storyline is engrossing and very adult, the action is so fast you almost don't realise how quickly you've picked up the skills you need, you just react in a gunfight and, when it's over, it feels like a real shoot-out. The side-missions are engaging and well worth the effort for the extra money to buy power-ups for equipment and your horse - believe me, you're going to need both - and the enemies are so well-written and hateful you genuinely want to kill them. There are few better games than this for the PSP. Review: Good game let down by control system - Gun Showdown gives you the opportunity to be a Wild West Gunslinger, taking hero Colton White through various missions to avenge the death of his father. The good bits: 1. Graphically it is excellent with loads of different scenery. 2. There is a very large gameplay area to explore. 3. Plenty of good side missions, such as Poker, Pony Express, Keep the Peace and Federal Marshal. 4. The substantial single player experience will keep you playing for quite a while. 5. There are plenty of different weapons options. 6. If you like your gore quota high, there's lots of blood too! The bad bits: 1. The control system is horrible and is the reason that I have marked the game down. As a previous reviewer said, it does get better if you stick with it for a while but you will still find times when you are so busy trying to aim your shot that the bad guys have hit you several times! Basically you move forward,backward and strafe left and right (why strafe? What is this obsession with game designers and strafing? It would all be so much easier if you just turned left and right with the stick!)with the analogue stick. You then have to turn and aim shots using the face buttons, which is as horrible as it sounds. You can invert the controls so that you aim using the stick and move with the face buttons, but that is no better. In a later encounter with a bad guy on a horse, the control system shows just how bad it is as by the time you've lined up your shot, he's moved on! The "Quickdraw" feature does help but you can't use it all the time so that doesn't solve the problem completely. 2. It would be nice to see a few more signs of life in the towns; it can get to feel pretty lonely out there! 3. Sometimes the action buttons don't work very well; in timed missions this can be a real problem, especially if you have to press the down button four times just to get off your horse! 4. Actions like zooming and changing between your weapons are unwieldy and you will probably find yourself forgetting the button combinations that perform these tasks. Overall, Gun Showdown is a good game only let down by its cumbersome controls. If you can find it cheap then it's a good buy for fans of the genre. Shame there's no half stars option as really this game is good enough for a three and a half star review but the control system is too annoying to allow me to give it four stars. Therefore, I have rated it 4 stars for "fun" to even it out! ## Features - Increased Depth of Gameplay Players extend their GUN experience with five new missions for the PSP that extend the rich story as well as new weapons including mines and throwing knives. - Pick-up and Play Action Jump into a host of Quick-Play modes including Shotgun Games, Mission Challenge and good old fashioned Texas Hold'em, for a quick fix of gaming on the go. - Wireless Multiplayer Functionality Players can team up or go head-to-head in Showdown mode, which includes Deathmatch, Golden Cross and Last Man Standing gameplay features via the PSP's wireless network capabilities. - Broad Range of Gameplay Multiple gameplay styles include: strategic gunplay and precision shooting, stealth tactics and use of explosives.

In spite of this, the game is well designed and atmospheric enough for it to remain enjoyable and worth putting in time to get used to the controls. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.nz/products/48948337-gun-showdown-psp](https://www.desertcart.nz/products/48948337-gun-showdown-psp) --- *Product available on Desertcart New Zealand* *Store origin: NZ* *Last updated: 2026-04-24*
