  Still, with plenty to see, lots of replay value through the many paths you can take, some wonderful illustrations by Gary Chalk, and an intriguing new world, you could do a lot worse in the genre than Gun Dogs. The Fighting Fantasy books on offer from Tin Man Games are probably better, but Gun Dogs has the notable advantage of being completely new, while still maintaining a classic style, and I think that combination has appeal to a lot of fans of gamebooks.

  Whatever shortcomings Gun Dogs has in terms of mechanics and literary style, it has a bouncy, thrilling feel to it that keeps you turning pages and rolling dice. Rather than wading through pages of exposition, the action is punchy and immediate; and while it may not win any scholarly awards, it’s still a ton of fun.

  It’s all comfortably familiar here with a few small refinements littering the way. While Gary Chalk’s Gun Dogs doesn’t revolutionize the genre, it’s still a very respectable entry into the adventure gaming field. Experiencing an original tale is the true benefit here and I do hope to see more again.

  Packed with action, intrigue, and gore - and excellently told and illustrated by Wallis and Chalk, respectively - Gun Dogs could well be Tin Man's most accomplished gamebook to date.
