The gameplay involves using the Super Scope to aim and shoot at targets on the screen, including outlaws, bottles, and other objects, and you must shoot the targets before they shoot you, with a variety of challenges and scenarios. A unique feature is the "Western" theme – the game is set in the Wild West, with levels featuring Western-style environments, and you must defend the town from outlaw attacks. The game includes multiple levels, each with unique challenges and objectives.

The graphics are colorful and detailed, with a Western theme and well-rendered sprites, and the backgrounds are varied and atmospheric. The music is fast-paced and energetic, with a Western-inspired soundtrack that matches the game's action-packed and dramatic tone. Critics praised the Super Scope integration and the fun Western theme, making it a solid light gun game for the SNES. It supports one player. Tin Star is a fun and engaging shooting game that offers a great Western arcade-style experience with the Super Scope.
