Player's Review
"Only one gunslinger can stop a Mad Dog gone wild... and that's you, partner! When the ruthless outlaw Mad Dog McCree goes on the rampage with a nasty pack of wanted fugitives, they leave death and destruction in their wake.
Mad Dog McCree and his band of cutthroats have ridden into town, kidnapped the Mayor and his daughter, and taken them to their hideout. These hombres are mean and vicious, so what this town needs is a heroic gunslinger to spray a little lead in harm's way! Relive the gunpowder glory of the Wild West with the American Laser Games arcade classic, Mad Dog McCree!"
One of the earliest Full Motion Video games in the arcade was ported to many home systems over the years. While the Arcade was a reasonably fun game which you played until your money ran out, it doesn't have a good rep as a home game as it loses its charm pretty quickly without any replay ability once you have completed it. For the 3ds, depending on the set difficulty, the game can be completed in 15 mins or so and unless you really want to go for high scores you wont likely want to play it again. Even if you are bad at the game there seems to be infinite continues available until you pass a stage with no negative effect on the score so you could probably farm it dying over and over.
The game is played with the touch screen to place the target and L and R used to reload and fire. You can also reload with extended ammo by shooting the skulls that appear on many screens. For the longplay I start off with a full playthrough on Hard difficulty. All the difficulty option does is limit how much time you have to aim and fire. I then show a second playthrough while playing badly showing a number of alternate scenes and death scenes whilst using a number of continues. When using a continue you get into a showdown duel to re-claim your lives.
I didn't bother keeping the second screen as its just a static image the whole time.
