Dead Man's Hand Review

It’s shooting up bottle’s for aim. It’s blowing up moonshine stills near The Nine. Nock the bell hats, and knock the bourbon back: Dead Man’s Hand is one weighted deck.Ever get tired of those static gaming worlds? You’ve got a rocket launcher, but building walls remain sparkle fresh? Bring back the Old West baby.

El Tej?n don’t mess around. Some gunslinger is shooting at you from a high railing, shoot the wood supports and watch for the western style fall. No wine bottle, glass window, barrel or wooden box is safe. And each trick shot will accumulate your Legend. Your weapons of choice remain as true to the times as the scenery around you: rusty pistols, shotguns, and aiming rifles.

Ever been betrayed? Tej?n will tell you all about it. They were The Ten, and then they betrayed our young hero. As The Nine, they are scattered throughout Old West vistas and saloons, and they know your coming. But you know where their headed: six-feet under.

Old Man’s Hand is powered by Unreal technology for smooth gaming play and awesome graphics. Enlisting the music of indie-rockers Calexico, the score is well set. While Dead Man’s 20 adventure scenes could be more in-depth, the content, scenery, gaming environment are very innovative. When you walk through the woods, remember to watch for the log traps. When on your steed, aim for whisky stills. These rickety old salons, riverboats, and mountain vistas set our adventures in good style.

Did I mention you get to shoot a cannon and a gattling gun? No? How about watermelon targets, jail cell battles, and whiskey bombs? This American frontier leaves no stage coach un chased, no hombre unscarred, no poker game undealt. When the dust settles, its time to pay back The Nine, El Tej?n style.
