Is It Any Good?
The Wild West hasn't been tamed on iDevices yet and, unfortunately, COWBOY GUNS HD isn't quite up to the task. The story is generic western, with a nameless gunslinger (called "The Kid") dispatched to help take down The Crimson Jackets, a band of ruffians terrorizing an area. The game has plenty of guns, outfits, and armor, but to get them, you'll need to collect stars on various missions. Problem is: Those missions are pretty much the same. Walk in, kill all the bandits, hunt for stars, then repeat. It gets monotonous, and buggy controls don't help matters. The game's top-down view is also limiting. In the end, it's a game whose aim is just a little too far off the mark.
