Great western shooter. Engaging storyline and lots of action! Couldn't stop playing it.

I saw the trailer for Call of Juarez Blood Brothers and thought that looked awesome. I found out that there was an original Call of Juarez and that it only sells for about $15 used. I downloaded the demo on xbox live and was impressed. Bought the game on ebay and when it came I was blown away. A lot of fun, very immersive. Graphics are good, not great, but nothing to really complain about. Controls for the guns are great, except the whip and stomping spiders could be a little more straightforward.

This game is Tombstone meets Indiana Jones meets Tomb Raider, all set in the old west. This isn't just a FPS, it's also a FP puzzle challenge (not too difficult). Shooting the indians with the old winchester is great fun, as well as all the other shootouts. The music is fantastic, very mood setting and heart pumping when you're getting hurt.

Other people complain about playing Billy. They complain about all these sneak scenes. I don't know what they're talking about. Go kill someone, take their gun and forget about sneaking - blow everyone away! Worked for me anyway. The other parts where you play Billy you are doing the puzzle type things, which to me aren't boring. There is very little in the game where you absolutely have to sneak.

The only things that I think could improve this game would be two player co-op on xbox live and slightly better graphics. I would have also liked it if they had you hunt more often. I'm almost done with the game and there was only one point where you had to hunt with the bow an arrow. It was challenging to have to lead the rabbits with your shot and I would have enjoyed hunting other animals throughout the game. I haven't played any of the extra missions, so it is possible that perhaps some of that is in there.
