Nearly flawless.

It's the rare type of action game with the kind of charm that makes you stow any frustration and allow yourself simply enjoy it to the fullest.

I have some minor complaints, but they don't really detract from my rating. For once, I wish there was more of it. 6 stages is criminally short, but they're so sweet that I'm glad I even got to play them.
The game does a poor job at communicating the propper way to utilize all your tools. It took many, many deaths for me to realize the way to activate the Vulcan gun, and I didn't even know you could throw a lasso until I saw some playthroughs online. However, the unlimited continues means it's never too frustrating to die, so the time to experiment and figure things out is definitely there.
Lastly, I wish one of the shoulder buttons could have been used to recenter your crosshair. I'd often have to push myself to the edge of the screen just to realign my aim. In a game where positioning is essential, that was quite inconvenient. That said, I'm not entirely sure how a re-center button could have messed with the game's balance.

Anyway, if you like rail shooters, gallery shooters, arcade action or simply action games, there's absolutely no reason to skip Wild Guns.
