Call of Juarez Gunslinger is great, albeit short, FPS narrating the story of Silas Greaves, a cowboy bounty hunter seeking revenge after his brothers were murdered. The game takes place in Western-times and it is basically a shoot-them-all type of FPS, and even though I hate these kind of FPS, there's something about this one that I loved. Perhaps it is the fact that Silas narrates the story as you play and it is so well written it encourages you to play to find out more. I love how he changes parts of the story and you have to play them again from another perspective. There's also something in his character making him very lovable.

You don't get a lot of different guns, but they are more than enough to go thru the story. I particularly loved the rifle and the quickshooter pistol. There's also a sawed-off shotgun, a shotgun, and some other pistols. You can upgrade the guns and your reflexes/combos by gaining EXP, which adds some twist to the shooting portion of the game. You also get dynamite, making it lots of fun to blow bad fellas up. Even though the firing is quite good, there's something about the game that bothers me. It seems that you gotta get the scope spot on or you will miss the shot... if you miss the aim by 1 mm, it'll be a loss, even with the shotgun, which doesn't make sense. There's also something weird about the ironsight in which you have to aim lower than the sight to get headshots. Anyway, you get used to that quickly.

The only thing I really hated about the game is the duels. They are based on crippling the player by making your aim move randomly and you just have to click when the other one pulls out his gun, then aim and shoot, which is really weird and most of the times it seems based on luck rather than skill. This really pissed me off. I hope the find another way to do this in the next game.
Another downside is that the game is really short. I passed it in 8 hours and I didn't rush it at all (I tried to get all nudges of truth in every chapter). Being used to 15+ hour-games, this one felt really, really short, but damn, did I get a good time playing it.

I hardly ever replay games unless something new to the story is brought in, but I am now replaying it in the western (I think) difficulty mode, which removes the hud and crosshair. There's also an arcade mode and a duel mode I haven't tried yet, but the first one looks fun (I think it's based on combos and scores).

I highly recommend this game to anyone that likes FPS with a good story and encouraging characters. You'll definitely have a good time.
