The story telling and voice acting is, in my opinion of course, the best of the series, creating its most lovable and memorable character yet, Silas Greaves. The way the story is told beautifully connects to the flawless FPS controls. The game looks gorgeous, from its Borderlands-styled graphics in the environment to the blood gushing from the enemie's face after pulling of a satisfying headshot in Concentration Mode, making you feel like a real Western bad ass. The only very minor flaws are the frame rate and the low FOV, but since the FOV almost never gets in the way of shooting some in the knee cap, it's very forgivable, combined with all the amusing content "Gunslinger" has to offer.
   
   As a fifteen dollar arcade game, "Call of Juarez: Gunslinger" offers more fun than most of today's fifty dollar games even manage to get close to.
   
   Gorgeous, classic, amusing: everything a great and enjoyable game has to be. 10/10.… Expand

Sure it doesn't do anything new to the FPS genre but its still very fun and enjoyable, the FPS mechanics are functional and the skill trees are also good for using your own playstyle. The graphics and artstyle are good and mix very well with the setting which by the way is very good, you really feel like a bad ass in a wild west setting, the story does the job and the comic style cutscenes with the good voice acting is really good. The bad things: The FOV sometimes can feel too narrow, the frames per second are sometimes lower than they should be, the story did the job but I wished a little more from it, there's pretty much no weapon variety. Only the low price keeps this game from getting an 7, for that price anyone should try it because it is really fun.… Expand

So I had some reservations in playing theThe first two Call of Juarez games were good, but had some flaws, and The Cartel was a disaster. So I had some reservations in playing the newest entry in a series that never really did much for me. Thankfully, Gunslinger is good enough to be one of my favorite Arcade titles in a while. The biggest thin going for it is the sheer amount of content it has. The campaign, runs roughly 9-ish hours, and manages to tell a compelling tale with some interesting characters and some really clever gameplay mechanics involving the stories flashback nature. Meanwhile, the Duels challenge and ten different Arcade levels are a lot of fun, and extend the game's lie considerably. Throw in some tight gameplay, excellent sound design, and beautiful cel-shaded graphics, and you have a serious contender for best Arcade title of the year.… Expand

   Techland nous sort une suite allégée de son western, tellement allégée qu'on dirait presque un indé, ce qui fait frémir. Ce n'est pasTechland nous sort une suite allégée de son western, tellement allégée qu'on dirait presque un indé, ce qui fait frémir. Ce n'est pas tout-à-fait un indé cependant, les graphismes n'étant pas assez laids pour qu'il se qualifie ou plutôt qu'il rétrograde dans la troisième ligue, celle des branquignols.
   
   Cela étant, ils ont tenté une approche "cel shading" à la Bordel lands mais le moins qu'on puisse dire, c'est que c'est plutôt raté : on ne gagne pas en visibilité ni en lisibilité, car ça fourmille beaucoup, les textures ne sont pas assez lissées. Un peu gênant donc, car de surcroît le champ de vision est vraiment très étroit (on a l'habitude sur console mais là quand même...) et vu que la précision est aux abonnées absentes, on galère pas mal.
   
   L'interface est tout de même bien fichue, les effets sonores très réussis et la violence assurément bien rendue. Mais pourquoi le cow-boy se traîne à 0,5 cm à l'heure quand il est accroupi, ça on se le demande... Les duels sont mal implémentés et mal reproduits et carrément injouables en fait, à moins de tricher et de flinguer le crevard avant même qu'il ne dégaine, ce qui est assez ballot.
   
   Rapidement en tout cas, on se retrouve souvent encerclé lors des missions et le temps ralenti reste peu exploitable et peu efficace, aussi bien pour l'imprécision générale à la manette que la durée du ralenti réduite à peau de chagrin. Alors en plus, quand faut se taper un boss (!) avec une barre de vie comme ça que t'égratignes péniblement à la dynamite, on se rend compte que Techland se fout bien de notre gueule.
   
   A moins que ce ne soit une crasse incompétence, va savoir. Faut dire qu'ils sont généralement pas doués les gars et qu'ils enchaînent les daubes les unes après les autres. Avec Gunslinger, voilà donc une daube supplémentaire à leur palmerdès. Con-tinuez comme ça, vous pouvez creuser encore.… Expand
