Yes, it's a scene from WANTED (or The Westerner for those who missed the name change by TAC).

Why did I pick a scene from a game I haven't played, you may be wondering? Well, because I wanted to know what other people thought of the thing! I'm a big fan of the art style (Toy Story eat your heart out) and I liked the demo, though I hear that the feeding-your-horse thing became a little too much of a drag eventually. Still, was it a worthwhile game? Should I finally go to the trouble of importing it from America, as it never received a UK release?

Over to you, adventure fans...

I tried playing around with it for around an hour back when it came out. I don't really remember specifics about the experience, just that I really didn't like the feel of the game.. the humor was in bad taste, I didn't relate to the main character at all, and the controls and camera were terrible. It just didn't grab me. There are much better things out now, and coming out soon, so I don't see a point in digging this one up.

You asked for it...

Wanted is riddled with atrocious bugs which may or may not be corrected in the version you would purchase.

It isn't funny.

It has the worst puzzles I've seen in a long while, including a lot of "repeat the same action over and over again".

The graphics (characters excluded) aren't nice at all, and just so you know, I love Toy Story and find it visually amazing.

I haven't finished it, and don't plan to, even though it costed me quite a bit.

EDIT: Oh, and "became too much of a drag eventually"? It's too much of a drag the first time, and you have to do it more than a dozen time. It's just incredible that anyone would implement such an idiotic puzzle in a game and really believe that some people will love it.
Pushing crates seems like a heavenly occupation compared to feeding this bloody horse.
