As seen in some of Hollywood's most memorable feature films, immerse yourself in the most authentic Wild West environments and scenarios ever experienced on the PC, including saloon brawls, train robberies, old-time shootouts, and bare-knuckle brawling. Play as two opposing characters, each equipped with differing skills, abilities and weaponry. As Billy, use your bow and craftiness to sneak in and out of trouble; as Ray, stop enemies in their tracks with your mesmerizing preaching, only to take them down with your six-shooter moments later.
Multiplayer: Shoot your way out of some of the Old West's most infamous events, such as Billy the Kid's shootout at Stinking Springs Ranch, in one of several objective modes or take the law into your own hands and hunt down a band of outlaws on the run with your friends in co-op mode!
Using the third installment of Techland's own Chrome game engine, Call of Juarez recreates the distinct rough-and-tumble beauty of the Old West through detailed and realistic environments and levels that spread across miles of terrain. Encounter intelligent Old West enemies, each with individual skills, who use their environments to their advantage, employ suppressive fire and work together as a group to shoot you down. Weapons and Equipment: Take to the dirt roads on your horse, equipped with genuine Wild West weaponry and equipment like the standard issue six-shooter or the traditional bow and arrow.

Good Game
- Pros: It is an excellent game. The first western game I have tried and I loved it. I though it was amazing. Some of the things you have to do are really cool. Graphics are amazing. On the same playing field with oblivion.
- Cons: No con's. As usual, newegg got it to me fast and on time.
- Other Thoughts: TO have graphics maxed out you need a 8800GTX video card. Even without it, it still looks amazing.
Awesome while it lasts
- Pros: This games has some seriously awesome moments to offer, particularly while you are controlling the grizzled Reverend Ray. The quickdraw element (allowing you to slow time when both guns are holstered before whipping them out to reign fire down upon your enemies) is particularly sweet. The weapons do get a tad stale by the end of the game, but it always throws new situations at you which involve pwning countless outlaws and desparados.
- Cons: Unfortunately, that end comes very soon. I played this game for maybe about six hours before it was over, with little reason to play through it again. The end just made me want more balls-to-the-wall reverend action HOWEVER...
Many of the levels played as Billy (the title's other protagonist) are downright boring. This game has all of the trappings of a particularly bad-a** FPS, but only half the game plays as such. A level towards the middle of the game which revolves around you riding through a pretty but boring southwest environment, hunting rabbits and climbing a mountain in a bad platforming twist was particularly offensive.
Also, though the games has some nice graphical touches, it is definetley aging poorly. Many of the textures (particularly on clothing) are just bad. I had the game set all the way to maximum settings on directx10, and was not impressed by many of the sights to be seen, though the overall setting provides a very compelling backdrop for the decent story.
- Other Thoughts: Really you should buy this game, download a save file right near the end, beat it, then use the chapter select just to play Reverend Ray's chapters. Billy's levels are one big yawn once the novelty of the bow wears off, and the story is neither so excellent nor difficult to grasp that it requires the frustration they provide. Cutting these levels would take the game's running time down to about 3 hours, but they would be some of the most fun ones you've had on a computer in a long time. For the price this little stick of dynamite goes for, they're definitely worth taking a look.

This game was a BLAST!
- Pros: It does break the norm of most FPS titles. The Western theme provides a nice break. The variety of guns, concentration mode, gun duels, and the graphics make for an excellent experience. The story line gets slightly campy, but I still give it a 4-out-of-5. The ability to recite Bible verses before you blow the bad guys away is off the hook :). Did I mention the DX10 graphics are gorgeous?
- Cons: Some may say the game was too easy, but it's all in what you're looking for. I look for great visuals, fun gameplay, game duration, and then "challenge". That's not why it gets 4 stars, however. The simple fact it is a console port leaves much to be desired in the form of PC optimization. My pet peeve is when game companies put their console game on PC, and really don't optimize it as best they could with patches, hotfixes, etc. Aslo, they didn't vary the bad guys' faces, so there are only like 5 or 6 face formats in the 1000 guys you kill in the game.
- Other Thoughts: Regardless of its short-comings, Call of Juarez is one of, if not the, best (I liked Gun, too) Western game I have played. It has everything from action, adventure, cut scenes, decent story line, and some gore. It's cheap, shipping's free... DO IT!
Old game by now
- Pros: Not your average theme. Cowboy shootem' up is a nice break from zombies/aliens/WW2.
Now that COJ Bound in Blood is out... this may be obsolete, but I really enjoyed it.
- Cons: Not optimized very well by today's standards..but it's not a "today's" game. It reminds me of being on a Playstation, because all you see is "L-O-A-D-I-N-G".
- Other Thoughts: Well worth buying and playing.
Decent game
- Pros: Good story line, good graphics.
- Cons: Feels like the game leads you everywhere, There is no freedom is this game.
- Other Thoughts: I couldn't finish this game because there's not much freedom, but for the price, you get what you pay for.
