LockeProposal's Big Day Out

+ Voice-acting is absolutely superb, across all characters+ Visual presentation is largely excellent, with a visual aesthetic somewhat reminiscient of Borderlands+ Features a great soundtrack; upbeat, though with an authentic feel+ Consistent narration does well to keep the campaign playthrough engaging, and doesn't take itself too seriously+ 'Nuggets of Truth' collectibles include historical tid-bits that are enjoyable to read through+ Pistol dueling mechanics are simple and challenging; very, very well-implemented+ Solid, entertaining gunplay mechanics+ Levels change as narration is corrected, misremembered, or lied about; often proves to be very entertaining as the story progresses+ Accessible skill and upgrade system+ Frequent checkpoints; does well to limit frustration+ Environmental design is both well thought-out and gorgeous; terrain feels natural+ Features arcade, game+, and duel challenges; serve to increase replay value beyond simply getting 100% of the achievements- Heavily copy/pasted enemy mob variety- Frequent bugs; these were largely visual in nature, and didn't affect the actual gameplay, but they could be a bit jarring in terms of immersion
