Experiment time: what do you get when you bake your spaghetti western with a futuristic storyline and scripted wit?
Space Marshals. In theory.
The gameplay is set in the space-traveling future. It starts out with a bang; almost literally. As the opening sequence shows, there's a huge Space Marshal transport ship populated by prisoners, and it's promptly attacked and damaged by a crew of baddies looking to do a jailbreak.
And off we go.
The main mission is split into several smaller ones, with the underlying goal guiding the player with regards to the action. The starting sequence serves as a quick tutorial and allows the player to learn the basics of movement, which is performed via dragging. The shooting mechanism is also on display, and also involves dragging. Crouching/stealth movements are also taught, and the AI serves as a cheeky suggestion service.
When it comes to adventure careers, Space Marshals just about hits on the Big Three: looks, story, and logic. It's a full meal that manages not to overwork the jaws, and it just screams "PLAY ME!"
You might wanna listen, partner.
