A Kinect game with a western tone where you animate a string-puppet gunslinger. The pitch is wonderfully odd and the off-beat humour really works, as long as you're on board with Kinect. A small, endearing oddity in the 360 catalogue.

Is Gunstringer, The still worth playing in 2026?

An on rails action game from Twisted Pixel for Kinect, The Gunstringer has you steer a vengeful skeleton cowboy puppet, aiming at enemies with one hand and making the puppet leap with the other. The theatrical staging, the offbeat humour and the idea of a western puppet show give the game real personality. The reliance on Kinect and the temperamental detection precision temper the experience. An original title for fans of creative propositions and the curious about the best of the Kinect catalogue.
