Similar to Sunset Riders, Wild Guns is a rootin' tootin' Wild West shootout with a third-person, behind-the-cowboy (and cowgirl) perspective. However, unlike Sunset Riders, Wild Guns is a target shooter of the non-scrolling variety, and it introduces robots, outer-space scenery, futuristic weapons, and other sci-fi elements to the formula. A two-player simultaneous mode (à la Shadow of the Ninja), nifty (if limited) voice effects, tons of targets, colorful sprites, detailed backgrounds, and a genre-specific soundtrack add to the fun. The control pad moves the character and the targeting cursor in unison, making aiming while avoiding enemy fire a little tricky at times, but gameplay is nonetheless a hoot.
