Dust: A Tale of the Wired West

EW's GRADE
C

In what could be called Point and Click at the OK Corral, players of the interactive Western Dust: A Tale of the Wired West explore an animated pioneer town and converse with towns folk to uncover the mysteries of a dead sheriff and a hidden Spanish treasure. But this cyberprairie is chockful of hackneyed stereotypes and cutesy accents, and the story is neither funny nor compelling enough to overcome the routine characterizations and lackluster graphics.
