This is a very interesting and unique game, Released in 1997, on the same day as FF7. It's an action adventure set in the wild west featuring cowboys, aliens, ghosts and such

The way the game is structured is what makes it unique, basically it has an open world and dungeons. But combat is very much the focus: giving you an arsenal of different guns at your disposal. There are no puzzles in this game and instead of owning weapons & items you pick them up from fallen enemies.

I describe it as "Zelda on wheels" it's a bit too arcade-y but still a fun an fascinating game.

I'm wondering if there are any games that blend the exploration style of Action-Adventures like Zelda with the stylish action of hack-n-slash character action games such as Devil May Cry. I've heard the 3D Ninja Gaiden & No More Heroes games are like this, but I haven't played any of them yet to confirm.
