= Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Sunset Riders (Video Game)

This is a very fun game...provided the game's computer does not cheat. However, at certain points in the game, no matter a good a player thinks he or she is, the computer takes a cheap shot. Other than that, this game is worth playing. I used to play the coin-op version at a local pizza place and now that I have it for the SNES, I can play it for free anytime I want. There are four gunslinging studs in this game: Steve, Billy, Bob, and Cormano. Steve and Billy are pistoleers. Bob and Cormano are rifle/shotgun toters. The best character to use is Bob. He is pretty quick with pump-action rifle(s). His rifle shot is more accurate than Cormano's, but if you are looking for power, Cormano's shotguns are a little more powerful than Bob's rifles. If speed is your game, then Billy or Steve are the best....but you have to be a crack shot with the pistoleers or you can get killed quite easily. 4/5 because the computer cheats, otherwise a lot of fun! Definitely worth playing!

The first time I played this game was at an arcade when I was 7. The place was set up so all the machines had unlimited continues, which was really nice. Anyways, 3 of my friends and I literally spent hours just playing Sunset Riders through again and again. It's that fun.

The thing you have to understand about this game is that it's a simple side-scrolling action game, like maybe TMNT, but it doesn't try to be anything more! It's just simple, fun, classic gaming. Don't go in expecting it on the caliber of Zelda or Final Fantasy. But it's just as fun, or to me because I have the memmories to associate it with, it's more fun! And it's cheap too. So just get it.

i had this game when it first came out and i loved it since then.
the game is pretty sort, but difficult.then i lost it one day and i didnt play it agian for about 6 years. i bought the game from amazon and resived it three days later and i still love this game. there is a pick from four different charectors two are single power shots and the other two are spread shot. the power ups in the game make it a bit easier but even the best will die a hand full of times. the computer does cheat but most dont mind because the game is just simply to much fun. It a game that one can play over and over and not get sick of it like most newer games.
