Good game, bogged down by consolization.
First off, this is a good game. But unfortunately, it fell victim to some terrible design decisions.
Autoheal, extreme linearity, hit markers, grenade (dynamite) markers, corpses disappearing pretty much instantly the moment you turn the camera away from them even slightly and so on...
There are secrets hidden about but you will constantly keep getting a message that you are straying too far, making exploration extremely annoying.
Enemies also drop money which you can use to buy stuff, but because the corpses vaporize within seconds, it is very difficult to find where exactly you killed each enemy, leading to many missed drops and of course zero immersion and no satisfaction of looking over a battlefield littered with your dead enemies after a big shootout.
Besides the shooting itself, the story is not that bad. I finished this game a long time ago but after trying to replay it recently, I couldn't bring myself to play it for long because of all the little things I described above. It just seems way too obvious that the main target were the consoles and PC was an afterthought.
Really a shame but the best Call of Juarez game is still the first one. That made me feel like I'm playing a proper PC shooter, not just a port of another console game.
Have to give this one a 6.5/10. I remembered having fun with the game in the past but I guess my tolerance for consolified FPS games has gone down over the years.
