Gameloft has released their latest iPhone game Wild West Guns [App Store, $4.99]. While it is another "tap to shoot" targeting game, as always, Gameloft delivers a well polished experience and adds extras to keep it interesting. The game involves your typical target-shooting but also adds environmental bonus targets to shoot (passing birds, rats, bandits).
Features listed include:
- 18 challenges featuring typical Far West environments (saloons, deserts, stables, trains, etc.)
- Diverse targets and enemies (cowboys, sheriffs, signs, flying sombreros, balloons, vultures)
- Interactive backgrounds that allow you to shoot elements in the environment to earn more points
- Extended lifespan thanks to 5 different game modes
- Exclusive weapons available only in this iPhone version: enjoy using the shotgun for extended damage and the machine gun to blast the background
- Use the touch screen to aim and shoot and the accelerometer to free yourself from the grip of an enemy

Unfortunately this time it's a piece of crap…
True this game is not good. Time Crisis way better.
complete with cowboy suicide bomber…?
Can they make it any more obvious of where to touch? Shoot the developer/designers! LOL!
I havent downloaded, nor do i plan to but this game has recieved really good reviews on iTunes.
I have two words to say: BACKWARDS COMPATIBILITY!
Haven't you devs heard of that before? Some people just don't want to bother updating the firmware every time apple decides that "hey, we missed that spot, lets get another firmware update out"..
Make your apps compatible with previous firmware..geez…
Is it only me or did they rip this off from the old Sega Genesis game "Lethal Enforcers II" ?
Pretty good game actually…
i havent played this or time crisis but from the videos time crisis appears clunky looking. this, while cartoony, appears more polished to me.
@riverlake – you have this? and like it?
Well, out of this, I love Katamari, and Hero of Sparta, I played a game of "boredom roullette" this is the one I landed on and IRS d/l right now. I'll give my final analysis here in a lil bit when I have had a chance to play. Wish me luck.
The title of this article says it all "Gameloft Delivers"!
I wasn't sure on this game, but gave it a "shot", and this game ROCKS! While it is a tap-to-shoot per se, it is so much more. Deep gameplay, crisp, wonderful sounds and more "hidden" content than you can shake a stick at. And, I promise you, the best replayability set-up you'll find!
Shoot on over and check it out!
