Advantages: Fairly decent storyline Disadvantages: No connection to characters, graphics and sound lacking , poor gameplay, no replay value
Call of Juarez promises so much yet delivers so very little. The concept of it interested me greatly but the game itself was disappointing.

Billy is a nobody who has spent his time looking for the treasure of Juarez only to return home empty handed. He gets caught up in a battle at the beginning and soon finds himself being blamed for the deaths of a few villagers.

The game is easy enough without the concentration mode that you are given which makes the entire thing stupidly easy aside from the final level.
In conclusion the graphics are nothing to write home about, the sound is a mixed bag (good voiceovers, poor battle noises), the gameplay is awful and there's no replay value whatsoever. Add that to what would be a decent story if it weren't for the lack of connection formed between the characters and the player and you're left with a very unsatisfying game.
Advantages: ALL the staples of the western genre -train robbery, gunslinging, riding, etc. Disadvantages: Billy is a useless character.
An Old West-themed first-person shooter, Call of Juarez is hard-boiled and filled with gunslinging, horseback riding, train robbery, and all the other staples of the western genre that you might have already gotten your fill of. The game puts you into the boots of two distinct characters. Billy Candle is a half-white, half-Mexican drifter of sorts who had been on the hunt for the legendary Lost Gold of Juarez, a treasure trove of gold buried somewhere ... ...on the PC version of Call of Juarez are, as you might expect, significantly different than the 360 version's. Aiming is certainly simpler with the use of the mouse, and whip swinging is actually a little easier as well, as you don't have to fumble around with analogue sticks. However, other mechanics are made a bit clumsier by this control scheme. Ray's concentration mode now requires you to press two buttons at once to holster his weapons, and horseback ...

Ciao members have rated this review on average: somewhat helpful Review of Call of Juarez (PC)
Based on a pure western atmosphere, the game draws on the major themes of the American Wild West through the confrontation of two powerful and iconic characters.Epic duels, train robbery, horseback riding across unending terrain, fights from horseback& All the ingredients of the best western movies are blended seamlessly together in Call of Juarez.Choose to play as either one of two stimulating characters: Billy, a young fugitive accused of murder, or the merciless vigilante hunting him down, the Reverend Ray, an ex-outlaw who turned to religion, believing that God Himself has chosen Ray to be the instrument of His wrath.Amidst the twists and turns of this absorbing psychological story aspect, players will also encounter a wide variety of gameplay features, with many differences between the stories of the characters.
