      There aren't that many Western-themed games out on PC.
      There are even fewer GOOD ones. "Call of Juarez" is definitely
      in one of those two groups. I'll let you decide which one.
      Personally, I wouldn't call it a bad game -although itTYJKA
      is dated- but it doesn't hold a candle to something like
      "Red Dead Redemption" or "Outlaws". It's okay; it 5PY8Z
      captures the feel of the Old West pretty well, the graphics
      are still passable (I mean, it _is_ 18 years old), and HN8IZ
      the gunplay can be fun. It's just not GREAT. But you get
      what you pay for, I guess. Give it a try anyway. You may
      like it.

 Tried to get this, says it is already taken :-(
 

You're not really missing out on much to be honest. Out of the series the one I really like is CoJ:Gun Slinger. That one changes the direction somewhat as it goes for a more fake tongue-in-cheek Wild West you see in some movies including the story is kinda played out as a voice over of sometimes embellished situations. There are even parts where the story is 'rewound' as some of the details are incorrect. Then you do of course have the shoot outs so beloved of movies.
Currently it's a whopping £2.19 on Steam and I'd say well worth it at the price. It's not going to blow you away but it is one of those games that I found just fun.
