Title: Call of Juarez: Gunslinger, thankfully back to the Wild West
Post by: FrontierCybrarian on May 23, 2013, 01:30:50 PM
Now for you Western and shooter aficionados.

I present to you, Call of Juarez: Gunslinger!

If you enjoyed the first two Call of Juarez games (throw out third abysmal one on the Cartel), Gun, and the older Outlaws, then you might like this new Western title.

Remember it is an arcade shooter at a Steam price of $14.99.

Don't expect anything too much above and beyond this and you might have some fun.

I purchased this and the shooting is quite nice. Good western atmosphere. The narration is okay corral too. If one wants a departure from WW 1 or dubya dubya 2 or modern warfare shooting then this might hit the spot.

Also, quite good reviews are coming in regarding this:

Tried the demo for this, and I really enjoyed it. I think I'm going to have to pick up the full game.

Have to admit...the demo drew me in as well......fun little shooter and something a little different than other FPS.  Especially for the price....

Arctic Blast & GrimReaper, I thought this thread was dead and sent to Boot Hill or TombStone. Glad some fps players still see some merit in the Western Frontier. Don't forget to use the Dinah Mite against the Gatling Gun, pardner!

I am glad you posted about it.....I saw it awhile ago, but thought it wouldn't be that great, but pleasantly surprised...likely will pick up the full game some time in the near future.
