Well worth it. Very fun and a refreshing change.
This game is a definite pick up for anyone looking for something different. If you have any interest in westerns at all you will enjoy this game. The story is great and really holds your interest throughout the game. The scenery is authentic and by itself makes the game worth it's reduced price tag.
As far as game play, it all works as expected for a FPS. Some have complained about Billy's role in the game but it too is very fun and refreshing. There are a few scenes where you really have to pay attention to the where the bad guys are and even listen to their conversations to know when you can make a break for you next hiding spot. Billy is not Master Chief, Marcus Phoenix or any of the other FPS dudes but that is what makes it so nice. There are plenty of games to cover that approach to gaming. That being said, the other character, Ray, does have the "kill'em all" approach to justice. The way the story weaves back and forth between the two works well and gives you a chance to truly experience the story.
I personally think there are very few games worth the initial $60 price tag - Halo, Madden, Fable...maybe but not many others. We all have our favorites. At the reduced price this game is well worth it.

A good game
This is a good game not great but good. Especially if you like westerns. The only downside is how quickly it can be finished.

Are You Kidding Me?!!
i thought i was buying a FPS but who knows what the developers were trying to create with this. it goes from sneaky/stealth to puzzle solving to platformer to FPS. to frustrate things even more, the subtitles are microscopic and the voice acting was done by out-of-work pornstars. you either need a theater-sized tv or plenty of patience if you even care as to what's going on with the story. and what a story it is (granted four chapters was all i could handle). you alternate segments between a young retarded lad named billy and his grisled, bloodthirsty yet also retarded preacher uncle. billy's missions are all about stealth and running like a coward. if you try to take down any of your adversaries, 20 more magically appear and instantly kill you. his uncle is a drunk killing machine, which is actually somewhat fun until the game throws a 3rd grade puzzle at his 1st grade logic and jumping ability. lastly i'd like to mention how glitchy this game is. i walked into town to hear the same "cow moo" sound effect stuck on repeat for a good five minutes. NPC's repeat the same lines over and over as well. and more often than not, i'd find myself walking towards what looked like an ocean only to have mountains suddenly materialize in the horizon. same thing with buildings. and sometimes, you can magically warp into these mystery buildings and be stuck there forever, how fun!! don't buy this thinking it's "gun 2". don't buy this game because good games are scarce in the summer. just don't buy this for any reason!!

I tried...
...but I couldn't get into it. Now granted, its a few years old, and graphically we've come a long way, but, the 360 processor is the same as then, and graphically it just doesnt hold up.

Sound is good - I like Western's, ergo, I like Western Games, and all the nuances, such as music that go with it.

However, it can't save the gameplay, which is horrible. Other reviewers have called it linear, and thats an understatement. I mean, you either accomplish the task the game wants you to do, or you spend a 1/2 hour trying to determine exactly the right combination of movements and skewed-logic to move forward. I just didnt get it, and with the wealth of great games available to you, you should skip this one, even as a rental. No amount of clearance-rack-discount is enough to justify purchasing this one.

Which is a shame, because the genre (Red Dead Revolver, which completely rocked in its style, and Gun, which was more or less a pretty good homage to the Western mythos) deserves a good game. Western Games, like Western Movies, don't come out often, and when they do, you expect a level of quality that just isnt there in Call of Juarez.

Not worth the Call
This game is by far the worst first person shooter I have ever played. The graphics are mediocre at best and the handling is horrific. Being able to shoot is like trying to shot an peanut with a spitball from 50 feet away. The storyline is all over the place and doesnt amount to anything else I have ever played.

In all, this game wasnt worth what I paid for it.
