I very much enjoyed the original Bang! and it's additions. I want something that feels like the shooting dice equivalent to Bangs! Poker. How good is the dice version and are there other games that are better but share the direction?

Fully agree.

The dice game completely eliminates the early game of everyone just hiding, waiting. You have to start shooting if the dice say so. You can stall a bit by immediately giving someone a beer after sitting them, but there's more shooting than beer on the dice. Also, the arrow mechanic puts a timer on everyone's head.

Finally, something has to be said for the dice themselves: they are super heavy and hit the table with an audible Bang! which is really neat.
