[Forward Observer]

Thanks for the review. I am a big western fan and was looking forward to this game, but I am disappointed that it doesn't play well on the PC.

I have a PS2, but I generally dislike shooters on a console because the standard console game pads are just totally inferior to a mouse and keyboard for such games. That is why most of the big state of the art shooters are developed for the PC first.

I have two western shooters--one called Red Dead Revolver, which was only developed for the console, and one called Dead Man's hand that came out on the console, but was also ported to the PC. I have the PC version of the latter game. Although Red Dead (developed by RockStar) is probably is a better game and has overall higher production values, Dead Man just feels more comfortable to play because of the preciseness of a mouse

I think most console ports of shooters have to have some auto-aim built in because of the lack of preciseness of those stupid thumb controlled toggle sticks. In fact the game controllers for consoles are simply my biggest dislike of medium.

At some point someone developed a mouse and keyboard for the console, but it's a shame that it didn't catch on and that very few games were designed to utilize it.

If consoles are going to have the sophistication that all the developers are bragging about for future generations, eventually they are going to have to expand the control system beyond a limiting factor of the simplistic 14 button game pad.

Anyway thanks again.
