Activision has rounded up some of Hollywood’s top voice over talent to lend their voices to its upcoming action adventure game 'GUN'.
Developed by Neversoft Entertainment, 'GUN' takes gamers to the untamed West of the late-1800s. The list of actors lending their voices to the game include leading man Thomas Jane as vengeful gunslinger Colton White; Kris Kristofferson as Colton’s mountain man father, Ned; Tom Skerritt as Resistance Fighter Clay Allison; Brad Dourif as evil preacher Josiah Reed; Ron Perlman as Mayor Hoodoo Brown of Empire, New Mexico; and Lance Henriksen as the obsessive tyrant Thomas MacGruder.
Hollywood screenwriter Randall Jahnson (Mask of Zorro, The Doors) penned the storyline that will transport players back in time to the lawless West. Videogame soundtrack veteran Christopher Lennertz produced and composed the score for 'GUN'. The music was performed by the Northwest Sinfonia using an 80 piece orchestra.
As Colton White, players must straddle the line between good and evil as they showdown against corrupt lawmen, a murderous preacher, renegade army psychopaths, merciless outlaws and unforgiving Native Americans, while waging war on horseback, collecting bounties, and commandeering trains.
'GUN' is slated for release this fall for the PlayStation 2, Xbox 360, Xbox, Nintendo GameCube, and Windows PC. The game is rated "M" ("Mature" – Blood and Gore, Intense Violence, Sexual Themes, Strong Language, Use of Alcohol) by the ESRB.
