Although it looks decidedly dated compared to the latest breed of first-person shoot 'em ups, it's clean enough when running in hi-res with the help of a 3D card, and it's surprising how well the revamped Dark Forces game engine stands up some three years down the line. The music and sound effects deserve a mention too. As you stroll down the dusty street your foes actually jibe and taunt you, adding to the atmosphere immensely - something which no other first-person shooter has so far picked up on.
In terms of gameplay there are few surprises, although the facility to pick out your target with a telescopic sight, and the fact that you really have to use the cover and choose your weapons carefully to get through a level, mean that you have to think before you move and shoot. One can presume that the developers of the excellent Half-Life were not immune to Outlaws! charms.
It's quite difficult to recommend a game that's clearly so dated when there are so many more recent and excellent first-person games available, but at this price Outlaws is definitely worth considering.
