Highly Underrated [Posted on 2007-09-15]
The most underrated game this year. Excellent graphics. Fun gameplay. Very good story (as far as stories in video games are concerned). The writing and voice acting didn't suck, which is more than I can say for 95% of the games I've played.

Great game, great story line. [Posted on 2007-10-18]
This game is real good. The only thing is that I felt that the game isn't long enough. I played it for 4 days and then I finished the whole game. That kind of disapointed me but the game is great.

Best game I've played in a long time [Posted on 2007-12-25]
I can't stand games where you save the world...again; fight heaven and hell, but you're not really sure which side you're on; or start off in the real world with great game play and then drag you down into this absurd fantasy/supernatural land for no apparent reason, like the Theif series. Call of Juarez fills a much needed void. The story is well written. There are a few laughs if you wait to overhear the conversations before offing the bad guys. The overall gameplay for an FPS is great. You won't make it if you go in guns ablazing, nor will they let you be overly cautious. The game is difficult enough to keep it interesting, but not so much that you get stuck and give up after dieing and reloading for two hours straight (I hate that).

The graphics overall look amazing with all the settings turned on high. And contrary to a previous review, there is wind. Everything from dust clouds, to moving trees/vegatation, to swirling smoke, to flying hats, to rolling tumbleweeds. But you have to have a system with some serious processing power to handle the effects. I did have a little graphics trouble with stuttering and tearing when the camera was in motion on my Nvidia 8800GTX card, but turning on Forced Vsync in the Nvidia Control Panel > Advanced Settings fixed that problem.

The story is rather linear, but I think that ensures you won't get lost. I'm not sure why this is such a complaint. Movies, books, etc. are all linear. Besides, not many people can finish games like Grand Theft Auto without a walkthrough, which just makes the game more linear.

Enjoyable [Posted on 2008-01-18]
This is an enjoyable game. The story is engaging, and the game play fun. If your looking for a western diversion get this. It is not earth shattering in any technological way (as it appears to the player), but it is a lot of fun.

I really like this game. It is an authentic recreation of the old west. Very fun to play and easy to learn controls. I recieved this product in 3 days and it was easy to install. I suggest this game to anyone who enjoys westerns.
