Gun.Smoke (World) Review by: jlh - 7.5/10

Gun Smoke, a classic arcade game from 1985 is really a fun game to play. Although I rated the overall category a little low this game is worth the time to try at least once. Set in the days of the wild west you are a cowboy bounty hunter that uses duel pistols, upgrades and a horse to take down the bad guys. Fast action, innovative cont rolls and good player control makes this game enjoyable to play. Each of the bosses has a bounty that ranges from 10000 to 80000 dollars. Here is a list of the bosses you will encounter.

Master Winchester. The first boss, he isn't that tuff but the extra bad guys and his pistol makes it a little challenging.

Roy Knife. Yup, you guessed it he throws knifes at you and again the multiple enemies is what makes it difficult to take him down.

Ninja Darts. This guy throws stars, jump around and will disappear in a cloud of smoke!

Cutter Boomerang: Are you seeing a pattern here with the names of these guys ha ha, this one uses multiple boomerangs to attack you, don't stay still.

Pig Joe: Uses Dynamite and lots of it, wait shouldn't his name be "dynamite Joe" haha

Wolf Chief. This Indian chief uses a shotgun, another one that makes you move a lot to avoid the spread of his weapon.

Gold Smith. This guy uses duel rifles, faster then the shot gun but without the spread.

Los Pubro. This Latino bully uses double pistols like the ones you use and uses them good.

Fat man. Machine gun, wait did they have machine guns back then? Ha ha anyways like the others movement is the key.

Wingate Family. These three are the last bounty. Two dudes using rifles and a machine gun, stop them quick and then take out the last Wingate brother.

Overall: 7.5 Really a fun game, it is just the low scores on the story, sound and addictiveness that took away from the score.
 
Graphics: 8  I feel that the graphics could have been better coming from an arcade game but compared to home consoles at the time I gave it a good score.

Sound: 7 In my opinion a better sound track could have been used with some voice effects added, other then that I rated it a 7.

Addictiveness: 7 Can be addictive until you beat the game, in my opinion it is hard to find a game that has good replay value after it is beaten.

Story: 7 Set in the wild west you are a bounty hunter taking out tons of bad guys... the end.

Depth: 8 This game gets a high score only because it has ten hard levels and a few upgrades, other then that it is pretty much a straight forward game.

Difficulty: 8 The difficulty of this game is pretty high, not because of bad controls ,it is just a challenging game. Lot's of enemies and bullets to dodge and the screen is always moving up so yea I gave it an 8.
