On our third go through, we managed to finish the level, and therefore finish the game, and a subsequent replay went fine too. If it was once, we could have written it off as a coincidence, but playing through again, we had the exact same thing happen, in the same place. Just as we got to the end of the level, and started blasting at Professor Molina's train, the game suddenly stopped, a high pitched buzzing sound started, and the Wii jammed up. While the main game was fine, for the first eleven levels, when we got to the last level, it froze. However, we did have our fair share of problems with Western Heroes.

If you can take out an enemy with every shot you take, you'll start to build up a multiplier, which you'll lose by reloading, forcing those looking for a high score to fight the urge to reload whenever they get a breather - and playing in multiplayer, you know you'll want the high score. It's all fairly standard, but it's still a lot of fun, with the varied scenery, and enemy types helping keep things fresh. Luckily, you can take plenty of hits before it's a game over, as the game's quite forgiving - and even if you do get a game over, you'll likely only lose a few seconds of progress, thanks to the very regular checkpoints,ĭon't shoot the Indian/Native American! They're on your side! A circle will appear around a baddies' head when he's about to shoot at you, giving you a few seconds to shoot first, and save your own hide. Of course, it's not just you blasting the bad guys all the way through, as they can shoot themselves. As your viewpoint moves for you, all you have to worry about is aiming at, and taking out the bad guys as they pop up from behind barrels, dive into view, and ride past on horses (much to Sarah's chagrin, as she always confuses the horses for bad guys.) What this involves is blasting your way through twelve levels of western themed settings, as you speed through shanty towns on the Justice Rider (the name of your wagon), and negotiate raging rivers on a makeshift raft, cutting your way through sandstone valleys. Although, we bet a cowboy's weapons would never stay this sparkly clean. Known as the 'rifle that won the West', it's been designed to be as accurate a replica of the real life rifle as possible - even down to reloading by pulling a lever beneath the trigger. Coming bundle with a Winchester Rifle, in Western Heroes, you don't just pretend you're holding a gun - you really are.
