Hello everyone I'm Jack Red, I realized I forgot to include Gunfright in a recent blog entry. I figured why not do it right now. Gunfright is about a sheriff that hunts down twenty criminals. Surprisingly, this isn't that bad of a game. Clearly stuff like Gunsmoke & Bonanza inspired this game. Honestly, this is likely one of the most over looked games within Rare Replay.
Gunfright requires you to search around the town. The closest way to know if you are on the right track is this kid. I'm not kidding, a kid constantly jumping while pointing at a direction. Sometimes, he'll quickly change directions as a hint where your target might be. Once you do find em, you shoot em. Then finally you go right into a duel.
There's a few weird things about this game I need to talk about. Like among the last criminals, the last couple of levels repeats infinitely. Which obviously means there's no ending to this game. I do like the money bag mini game actually used in a few Snapshot playlists. You simply shoot up bags of money but you kinda wish you could simply take it instead.
Realistically, you are destroying bags dropping whatever inside on the ground. Just imagine going to a bank then a robber instead of stealing the jewels & money. They shoot up whatever holds em, it's stupid logic that kinda works for games like this. Not to mention, riding your horse acts as an invincibility power up.
Yet the actual horse looks more like a costume someone might wear rather than an actual horse. This is even stranger than what I said about the horse in Kameo. You can get penalty for harming/killing civilians. Sadly, the civilians themselves are the worst hazards of this time. Sometimes, you can't tell which way to go to avoid.
Other times, they surprisingly move at a angle that technically counts as a hit killing you. Yes, it is one of those games folks. Gunfright also used some rather questionable names for these criminals. Warning, some of what I'm about to discuss here could be seen as offensive. I will list the names in question below so you can fully see em for yourselves...
1. Buffalo Bill
2. Billy the Kid
3. Jesse James
4. Milkie Bar Kid
5. Bronco Colarado
6. Lone Ranger
7. Gunslingers
8. Bandits
9. Hillbillys
10. Butch Cassidy
11. Mexicans
Some of these names do reference real life people. Stuff like Gunslinghers, Bandits, Hillbillys and Mexicans usually applies to more than one. But you only face one person with those names kinda weird. Also, how did the name Mexicans or Hillbillys make it pass the final cut? The weirdest name that easily could be taken out of contents is Milkie Bar Kid.
Also, Lone Ranger name is usually a title for those that help fight criminals & protect their town. I do need to mention the name Bronco Colarado. It's more of a reference to an actual location than person. The audio is mostly fine at times. It can be confusing to explore the town at times. Honestly, it might get boring for some but it's not a bad game by any means.
I think another strangely thing is the character you play as looks somewhat similar to Sabreman from Sabreman series. You mostly use a revolver like people did back in those days. It will take time getting use to how the game plays. Once, you do figure it out that's when you realize exploring is important. You can run out of ammo temporary unless you got penalty too much likely getting a game over.
