honestly I think this game is horrible. 

It makes the very very typical mistake of trying to mix genres and fails to get the  most out of any one of those genres.

The game honestly did not appeal to me at all graphics wise.  I can easily run this smooth as silk on 1024*768 and everything looked very mushy for textures and there were multiple clipping problems.  I think this is one of those games that would have been server very very nicely with an art style rather then trying to push graphics.  (ex. How Warcraft 3 had that cartoon look to it that makes the game feel like it's aged graphics wise very little).

There are some great ideas here granted like the dual pistols and concentrion mode. The shooting aspect of the game is bang on and hits some solid moments with the hostage situations and duels.

The physics are sadly sub par though.  I found myself often having to make multiple attempts to fit a box under a ladder where the clipping of the ladder or stairs would interfere with putting the box where it's obviously meant to go.

The stealth though I absolutly hate.  It's the worst stealth I've ever seen in a FPS They should have just stuck with the great shooting mechanics they had.  I'm sorry but Stealth and first person rarely mix unless well  without a lot of tinkering with level setup to make it easy to sneak around. 

Ultimatly Call of Juarez is a game with good ideas but totally fails to execute well due to adding on a lot of bad ideas to the gameplay and being a total system hog graphics wise with no real reason to be so with what at least to me were bad graphics very very bad graphics.

Feel free to disagree but please validate your points.  Sticks and stones....
