As far as Kinect games go, Gunstringer at least gained a reputation of actually being decent. Instead of going for the most obvious gimmicks that plagued the Kinect's library that mostly consisted of awkward theme park attractions that unveil why the line was so short, this game found inspiration from the universal "fingerguns" gesture and formed the entire game around that.

With that said, it gets repetitive and aiming feels a bit sluggish. Even so, it's carried by the humor and creativity on display as this kooky, family-friendly spaghetti Western.

There were few attempts to make a rail shooter out of Xbox 360's shoddy peripheral, but this game was probably the best one could possibly be.
