This Pistol Has A Little Rust
When it comes down to basic FPS concepts that "Doom" and "Duke Nukem" and "Star Wars: Dark Forces" invented and reinvented, "Outlaws" doesn't really change much. But like those other three games, what distinguishes "Outlaws" is that while the basic gameplay doesn't change, the gaming world is still unique. The riveting music, the colorful scenery, and the heart-thumping sound effects all give "Outlaws" its own identity. However, like most FPS games released in the late 1990s, this one barely stands the test of time. <

>GRAPHICS <
>---The animated cutscenes are just as good as they were back when this game first came out. The actual game footage, though, doesn't hold up. Although "Outlaws" doesn't have a choppy feel and flows really nicely, the character models weren't that good to begin with. The environments look really nice, and are diverse enough to keep the experience fresh (trains, towns, waterfalls...this game has all Western settins imaginable), but it's the character graphics that don't hold up. Overall, good but not great. <

>SOUND <
>---The music, as I said earlier, is terrific. There are those quiet tracks of sadness, and loud ones to get your trigger-finger quicker than a jackal. The voice-acting is top-notch, as only LucasArts could pull off back in the day. The dialogue actually has a wicked tongue to it, as there are some bad guys just in dire need of a bullet. The gun effects all feel authentic (though, I'm no firearms expert). No complaints here. <

>GAMEPLAY <
>---The controls are all customizeable, but the default setup is perfect. I'm more of a keyboard-and-mouse player myself, but joystick and controller players should feel right at home. The level design is diverse, and there are even some tricky puzzles occasionally thrown in. However, this is a shooter - plain and simple. There are no time limits, hostage scenarios, civilian complications...nothing. You will shoot bad guys, find the keys and occassional items, and shoot more bad guys. You won't even find different enemy types, just different gun-toters. There aren't any horse-riders, but at least there aren't any crazy machines or anachronistic villains like that. This game is very fun, but this game came out just after "Star Wars: Jedi Knight", which reinvented FPS games to me. This game was slightly outdated even back then, but it's still good fun to shoot some villains. <
> <
>OVERALL <
>---I don't think this game is required gaming, but it won't be a waste of your time. The multi-player isn't outstanding, but for its time, this was pretty good gaming. I don't think any Western games have come even close to matching this one, but that doesn't mean that this game is a classic.

CLASSIC!!!!!!!
Hey George Lucas any day now. Get off your duff and make the sequel to the best game ever created by LucasArts. Enough is enough. No more Star Wars games.

One of the Greatest Games of All Time!!!!!!!!!!
My friend and I played this game when it originally came out and we were blown away by the brilliant story, amazing cutsecenes, and tremedous gameplay. I was at my friends house and we found it in his garage. We had't played this game in around 8 years! We popped it into his computer and we brought back to the good old days when graphics weren't the only important thing about games. This is the best western video game. I hope you enjoy it as much as my friend and I did.
