Really, it's not that hard and the weapons are good. If all goes well I should get the game early this week, it's been shipped.

Just played through Call of Juarez, pretty good game. I really don't get why so many reviewers say they hate all the sneaking you have to do as Billy because for the most part he has access to and can use weapons. I also enjoyed his hunting and climbing tasks Calm Water sent him on despite some reviewers thinking it ridiculous.

There are a few minor nit picks that I do have though, like when anything dies it sounds like a board hitting the ground be it human or wolf. Then there's the overuse of shotguns by the indians, and they tend to sound more like rifles than shotguns. They also use the double character nature of the game to give you half as many maps to play, so you spend a lot of time retracing steps as someone else.

Overall it was well worth buying for what I paid, but it's not something I would pay over $25 for. I've read you can unlock extra missions just by beating the story mode, but after doing so I see no verification of that. I've also read collecting 30 wanted cards unlocks Very Hard mode. Can anyone verify if these are possible in the PC version and how you access the extra missions?

Well that was quick. How many game hours did it take?

It's pretty short, I'd say 6-8 hrs for a full play through. There's parts that are really fun like chasing after a stage coach on horseback while shooting at guys on horses guarding it. Using the bow while charging on horseback is quite fun too and I found you can retrieve the arrows.

I'm starting to doubt there are extra missions to unlock in the PC version like the 360 though, despite some sites saying so. In fact there are other things like a pair of rust proof show guns that are supposed to be in a certain spot which I could not find that may be 360 exclusives too.
