Despite a sharp take on tower defense games, The Last Ranger doesn't really offer anything new from last year's release.
Had Nintendo taken the time to listen to its fan base and addressed the issues that held the first Rolling Western back – or at least added some control features to make him a greater character in terms of accessibility – then The Last Ranger could've really been something. Alas, that's not the case, and this latest Western is likely to leave a few people feeling burned. Stick with the original, or, better yet, track down Wild Gunman on the NES. Now that's how a Wild West game should be.
Score: 5.5 / 10
