Developed by Neversoft Ent., Activision’s upcoming old west action-adventure game, Gun, has attracted some heavy Hollywood firepower. The title’s voice cast will include Thomas Jane (The Punisher), Kris Kristofferson (Blade: Trinity), Tom Skerritt (Alien), Brad Dourif (The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers), Ron Perlman (Hellboy) and Lance Henriksen (TV’s Millennium).
Scripted by Randall Jahnson (Mask of Zorro, The Doors), Gun will put gamers in the role of vengeful gunslinger Colton White (Jane), who must straddle the line between good and evil as he squares off against corrupt lawmen, a murderous preacher, renegade army psychopaths, merciless outlaws and unforgiving Native Americans. Game play involves waging war on horseback, collecting bounties and commandeering trains.
Kristofferson plays Wite’s mountain man father, Ned, while Skerritt assumes the role of resistance fighter Clay Allison. Meanwhile, typecasting abounds as the game features Dourif as evil preacher Josiah Reed, Perlman as Mayor Hoodoo Brown and Henriksen as obsessive tyrant Thomas MacGruder.
The Mature-rated Gun is slated for release this fall for PlayStation2, Xbox 360, Xbox, GameCube, and PC.
