Tin Star

Graphics: 6 out of 10
Sound: 6 out of 10
Gameplay: 6.5 out of 10
Hardness factor: 7 out of 10
Overall: 6 out of 10
Graphics: The graphics are okay. Most of the characters look bright
(even though they are supposed to be robots) and the backgrounds
are colorful (and repetitive) too. However, there is hardly any detail
to anything in this game
Sound: Music is okay. It sounds a lot like some of the music from old
western movies, only cartoony and changed a bit (for obvious reasons).
Sound effects are okay also, and there is some voice samples (If you
want to call someone yelling out a cartoony YOW! A voice)
Gameplay: I liked the concept of this game. It's a sidescroller where
you use your Super Scope (Or mouse, or controller) to shoot enemies
on screen before they shoot you. Also, there is a first person view
with an automatic scrolling screen that is also pretty good. However,
the story line, characters, and everything else about this game is just
plain dumb. Especially the ending if you don't get enough money.
Hardness factor: The last levels get hard (especially the final boss)
but by the time you get there you should be ready for it. Levels get
progressively harder, but enemies are usually just beefed up versions
of the ones from the previous levels, so you know how to deal with them.
Overall: 6 out of 10. An okay game and one of the few that has support
for the mouse and/or super scope. Not the best game out there so I don't
really recommend going out and finding it.
