With Richard being a spy-for-hire you generally have a choice of jobs to take to clear your name, which are accessed through his phone between missions. Your communications with Richard’s employers are genuinely funny, with a variety of brilliantly sarcastic retorts available for selection. There’s more character in these sprites than in any David Cage game.

Each mission...

Gunslinger's tale is told by Silas Greaves, a washed-up gunfighter drinking his way to the grave. He narrates his (your) actions as you go about them, taking players – and the disbelieveing drinkers of the saloon he's chosen to tell his story in – through a potted history of western fables; famous faces, a lifetime of revenge and tales that couldn't be more unbelievable if...

-Chris Pine's face is nicely rendered.

-The opening of the game contains a reference to this scene in Rocky III.

-Some of the zero-gravity stuff when you're outside of a ship is nice to look at.

Things that are bad about Star Trek:
