IGN's Steve Butts has this rather lukewarm review re Wanted: A Wild, Western Adventure - Fenimore was awarded a 6.5 overall rating by Steve, however, IGN readers upgraded Fenimore to a 6.8 overall score...
I'm as big a fan of the Western as the next guy. Give me some Clint Eastwood or Tombstone and I relive my days of Cowboys and Indians, back in the day when your thumb and index finger were permissible weaponry. So it was with much delight that I took on Wanted: A Wild Western Adventure. Unfortunately, anticipation quickly turned into disappointment. It had a western theme and it was a point and click adventure, but I doubt anyone would want this game, and it certainly isn't what I would call wild, unless you consider wild to be choppy audio, long loading times, frequent crashes and the joy of watching the main character walk around -- a lot. It's not all bad -- the tongue-in-cheek story and the voice acting, when it isn't stuttering, are solid.
