I played the original Call of Juarez for the first time shortly after the original release and came back for a replay about a week ago. The game is not flawless and the age is starting to show a bit (mainly on the graphical side), but it aged really well nonetheless. I was a bit afraid of ruining the good memories I had with the game, but instead I now appreciate it even more. For me Call of Juarez will forever remain one of the best stories ever told in gaming. As for the gameplay it is still really fun after all these years and it perfectly manages to scratch that akimbo gunslinger itch. On the contrary gun duel sections feel a bit clunky. I also found some of the platforming sections slightly boring back in the day and unfortunately this is still the case for me, but the feature does not really ruin the game. Taking a look at all the hidden collectibles and their outright hilarious descriptions - it seems the devs had a lot of fun making the game. I can say with clear conscience that the game is worth its price, especially when it goes on sale.
