Review: Mad Dog McCree Gunslinger Pack photo

FMV-based games with live actors are something of a guilty pleasure for me. There's nothing more overtly kitschy, yet weirdly enjoyable than seeing an underpaid, underenthusiastic actor recite awful dialogue while looking straight into a camera as stuntmen fall exaggeratedly to the ground behind him.

That in mind, I positively jumped at the chance to review the Mad Dog McCree Gunslinger Pack for the Wii. Costing only $20, the single-disc anthology collects Mad Dog McCree, Mad Dog 2: The Lost Gold, and The Last Bounty Hunter and upgrades them with Wiimote IR sensor support.

Finally, gamers can now play the original Mad Dog McCree games just as intended: with a gunlike object in your hand. Granted, you'll also be playing with a decidedly unintended sense of condescending irony, but that's probably beside the point.

If you're ready to experience the most unconventional videogame review of all time, hit the jump for my review.*

*Upon reading that sentence, you may have thought: "Hey, I saw Destructoid's review of Saints Row 2, and that was barely a review at all. Surely, this Mad Dog McCree review couldn't possibly be any more unusual than that. You thought wrong.

Mad Dog McCree Gunslinger Pack (Wii)
Developer: Digital Leisure
Publisher: Majesco

Released: June 16, 2009
MSRP: $19.99

Having Papa Burch telling me I fucked up doesn't feel as cool as I thought it would have.

I honestly hope that you've created a new genre of YouTube videos, because I absolutely loved this.

@Samit: Maybe if they put different color uniforms on the different Ashl(e)ys, maybe you could identify them.

Sorry to say, but killing Ashley Davis is more fun to kill your sister. Maybe it's because your sister is not that great when she acts her death. Also: Time paradox!
I killed your sister twice, meaning that there's a portal to the multiverse located near your house. By the by, great fucking review!
