Lead & Gold: Gangs of the Wild West

Paradox and Fatshark's team-based Wild West third-person shooter, Lead and Gold: Gangs of the Wild West came out today on the PC, but is also on the way to PSN in a couple of weeks time. That's April 22nd, ya varmints.

The rootin' tootin multiplayer shooter is classic red vs. blue stuff, with four classes to choose from and six different game modes to play, influenced by the likes of Team Fortress 2 and Counter-Strike.

Pricing has yet to be confirmed, but word should come through fairly soon as the launch date draws closer.

Until then, take a look at the trailer.

HD Trailer


Lead and Gold features six multiplayer maps, five multiplayer game modes, a co-op mode and a single player practice mode. The matches are five-on-five affairs and the game mechanics, game modes and maps have all been designed with one common goal: team play.


* Player characters have aura buffs — we call them Synergies — that strengthen your gang-mates if they stay in your vicinity. This is a simple but effective way to encourage players to work together.
* The experience system rewards actions that actually help the team, such as carrying mission objective items and reviving gang-mates. The experience system is non-persistent so everyone starts a new round on equal terms.
* You can revive fallen comrades. Before death, players are usually left in a knocked down state from which they can be revived by a gang-mate. This is yet another incentive to hang around your mates.
* Game mode objectives generally require cooperation. Carrying a heavy sack of gold or a keg filled with gunpowder makes you quite an easy target, unless you have back up.

I don't think that will help you but this is from ps3trophies.org(the game is out since April 22th in Europe)

Just wondering, is this game any good?

What do you people who have played this game think?

plain and simple: NO!

Speak for yourself... I think its really awesome . I've put some good man hours into it atm.

The game sucks

I think it's a good game, I'm having a good time playing and that's the only thing that counts to me. So, yes, the game is good.

IGN Review

IGN Ratings for Lead and Gold: Gangs of the Wild West (PS3)
Rating Description
out of 10 click here for ratings guideGet Ratings Information
6.5 Presentation
It's pretty barebones. The menus are plain, there is no story, and even the leaderboards are limited.
6.5 Graphics
The maps and characters look just OK, but the game runs well. No issues with slowdown or stuttering.
7.0 Sound
The music is twangy and appropriate but limited. I wish the characters talked so they would have more personality.
7.0 Gameplay
The different games are fun, and I like the team-based mechanics. Nothing too original here though.
6.5 Lasting Appeal
There isn't a lot in the game, so it gets old faster than I would have liked. Some more characters or maps would have helped.
7.0
Decent OVERALL
(out of 10)

I'm still waiting for a demo of this game, or at least a price drop. I'm looking for an alternative to Battlefield 1943. Still fun, but there's no party system, you have to join your friend, there must have a spot available on his team and sometimes you get split up to different teams after a match, which is not cool.

Free for PS+ members on January 4th. Can't wait!

This game is pretty fun! I like it a lot!

played for about 30 minutes. kind of enjoyable. wouldnt have spent 15 bucks on it.

I hate this. Although to be fair I rarely if ever play online because people are generally d-bags online. And this is no difference. You have people just camping out and shooting you as you respawn, I am terrible at these games to begin with so I tend to get killed within 10 seconds of respawning anyway.

If i had known it was an online ONLY game, I wouldn't have bothered downloading it. lol

But as I said, this is because I don't like online games.
