In the mid-twentieth century, cinema has blossomed in full flower genre westerns, adventurous and romantic stories about the dashing cowboy, deftly wielding pistols and dynamite. Unfortunately, due to cultural isolation of the USSR, in our latitudes of these films has long been accepted speak disparagingly - "a movie about cowboys."
Ordinary Soviet citizen could see except that mimic tape, shot the Indian in the Soviet Union, East Germany and Bulgaria (also called "Eastern"). Alas, if you're not too familiar with westerns, Lead and Gold would not be able to fill this gap in your education. The game only marginally affect the traditional vesternovskuyu perspective, leaving here and there, references to the most significant in terms of film developers. If you still want to understand what the western, you should see a couple of good old movies - "Vera Cruz", "Wild Bunch" and "A Fistful of Dollars" for example. And the best - to find our last year's release of "Cross-format", where everything is written.

Not a lone shooter To play in the Lead and Gold, you are in any case need the Internet - for the new distributed exclusively through Steam, or PSN. Developers are thinking about how to distribute your creation via Xbox Live Arcade, but in any case remain faithful to digital distribution. This is not surprising. After LnG (acronym suggested by the developers, because the reduction to LaG causes unpleasant associations) - multiplayer action on the war gangs of the Wild West. Playing with the move departs from one of the main canons of the genre, forcing you to other gamers in the Comrades. And as the easiest way to get people to work in a team? Giving them this or that role! For each of the four classes, professions have their own weapons and own, optimal, distance to fight. Gunslinger and Blaster, firing almost point blank, can make anyone a sieve, Deputy relying on desyatizaryadny Winchester, great fires from an average distance, Trapper as it should be a sniper, prefers to shoot with a decent distance.
All the fighters emit a certain aura, simply put, can somehow alleviate the plight of being close friends, for example, if next to your ward is Blaster, then your character will be able to catch the stomach for a few more bullets before his body bag collapses to the ground. In the tips that are displayed on the loading screen, we strongly recommend to choose the representatives of those professions, which are currently lacking in the gang - as bonuses for specialists of one type are not cumulative.Synergistic aura, especially the characters of high rank (more enemies could kill - the greater the grade), make you significantly stronger, and actually determine the course of the match - towards the end of the players try to move an organized crowd, because together they are stronger than individually. The triumph of team spirit have highlighted two very small but quite important details. First - there is very rarely possible to kill someone immediately. Most often, the mortally wounded character, health is at zero, falling to the ground, losing the ability to move, but still able to shoot a revolver. If a fellow gang would be to the rescue before the poor would achieve, the victim not only survive, but will be able to fight on and on. It is important to the second part - the wounds begin to heal your character just because next to him is one of the companions. Bring a keg of gunpowder to blow up the safe deposit box, or the heaviest, had just stolen a bag of gold - it is better if there's someone from your gang. And not because of some bonus auras - people with busy hands - always an easy target. Given all this, even countries that play so heavily tied to the team interaction, does not have built-in voice chat.

Achieving "Unforgiven» («Unforgiven») in Steam - a reference to the same film by Clint Eastwood who is awarded four Academy Award winner and two - the "Golden Globe". To get it, you need to repeat the massacre protagonist tape in the finals - in seconds to pack four opponents.

Second in the Wild West However, this is not the only drawback, and versions for the PS3, and options for the PC. And even if we close our eyes to some technical roughness (sometimes unreasonably slow down your game starts, even with very fast Internet), it remains important - a feeling the second time.
Ranches, gold mine, unnamed fort and godforsaken border town - each of the cards that serve the arena fight, looks good and pleases the abundance of details - especially in the version for the PC, where the resolution more. Minimum destructible interior creates a kind of illusion that this is really - a western, but not another clone of Counter-Strike from a third party in the new scenery. But to completely destroy the city, as in "Rolling Stone high plains, you will not be. Although it is sometimes very desirable - Luggage, being tightly clamped over the right shoulder of the character, makes you absolutely helpless when the enemy has hidden out of sight. I'm not talking about getting up the stairs - in the line of sight is usually a wall but not the adjacent spans and where you need to be someone to shoot, hone accuracy.
The only available analog single-player - co-op mode for two Gold Fever, where, running on a single card, you need to carry to his base of bags of gold, at the same firing attracted waves of enemies.Suffice it to a maximum of half an hour - then you either return to the multiplayer battles, either turn off the game. LnG fully doing its job, entertaining gamers in multiplayer, but if you want to shoot at enemies in the city alone - look for something else.
Fairly broad scope of westerns - a genre can be attributed not only to movies about the heroes of the Wild West, but, for example, tapes of "Seven Samurai" and "White Sun of the Desert". However, in Fatshark, conversely, used in a game only the outward signs of a cowboy drama. Lead and Gold - good multiplayer action, but it is unlikely it can be called a classic game-Westerns. True, it is hoped that such will be Red Dead Redemption of Rockstar (Premier unusual and should take place shortly after our magazine will go to print).

Some bewilderment in LnG causes the appearance of representatives of the Deputy (deputy sheriff) - elegantly dressed black man. Racial segregation in the United States was abolished only in 1964, therefore, described the historical period the Negro could not become an assistant sheriff. Involuntarily to mind very, very dark-skinned captain of the royal fleet of "Le Corsaire Online.
