Lead and Golf: Gangs of the wild west review

Archive: 1 post


Lead and Gold is a team based third person shooter based in the wild west. While this game gets compared with Team Fortress 2 a lot, does it have enough to gain the same great reviews?
Starting off, this game is strictly multiplayer. There is virtally no single player mode except for the tutorial, so if you were planning to do some gun slinging alone, your out of luck here.
There are 4 main diffrent classes in this game. There's the shotgun toating miner, a sniper fur trapper with a crazy scope, the carbine carrying sheriff and the revolver gun slinging cowboy/outlaw ( Dependind how you look at him). All classes are equally balanced and play well but to be a expert on one of them, you need to keep practising. All classes carry a revovler and main weapon except for the outlaw. Each class also has a specail tool and synergy effect that effects team mates around them. The Blaster has a 2 round shot gun, TNT as grenades and gives out the defense synergy. The Trapper has a single shot sniper rifle, bear traps to stop and slow enamies and give out the Critacle synergy. The Deputy has a twelve round carbine rifle, the ability to mark opponets and radiates the damage synergy. The gunslinger has only his specail 6 round revolver that does extra damage and fires faster then the others, plus the abilaty to fire it as fast as a machine gun and gives out the accuracy synergy. Neither classes have it one over another. The blasters great for quick kills but bad on bad guys that have a longer range. The sniper good at, well, sniping but can easyily be killed in close combat. As well, you can do a evasive roll and you have infinte ammo.
There are 6 diffrent maps ranging from a plantation to miners homes and a cowboy fort. All are unique in there own little way and should be explored carefully as many branching paths can be found. To go along with these maps are good visuails. They're not Uncharted 2 graphics but they do just fine. Everything looks athentic and real and the charcter models are well done.
There are 6 diffrent game modes, deathmatch, conquest, a co op gold captureing game against bots, a capture the flag varient with a bag of gold spawning and and both teams trying to capture it, a mode where 1 team must blow up 2 objectives with kegs of gun powder and one more where one team is trying to steal the opposing teams gold bags. Certain game modes have certain maps to play them on with the fewest being the co op one with only one map that can be played only in that mode or the tuturiol. Luckily they have comfermed DLC for the game. All game modes are fun, my favorites being Powder Keg and Robbery as they are the most team based in the game with Conquest feeling too quick.
In each match you'll earn EXP which will have you leveling up. However, this used to see who the best player was and resets back to 1 each new game. As well, you can't unlock anything so the best you can do with EXP us see were your ranked in the leader boreds.
Overall, this is a very good for being a PSN game and while you can't unlock anything new, this freash new look is very releiving fro games like Modern Warfare 2 and Uncharted 2. With the DLC on the horizen and enough content to keep you satisfied, this is a game to definatly check out.
Final Rating: 8.5 out of 10
