If you like retro gaming this be up your street I give it 10/10 very nice all round.
After having a Call of Juarez marathon over 3 days, this game didn't mean the pacing I was then accustomed to. Best to play this when you really like point and clicks and have a large amount of time to invest. I won't slag the game off but I just wasn't in the mood.
Brillant game loved it back in the day but wish they improved the graphics.
