Call of Juarez

Was wondering if anybody here has heard of this game. There is a demo out http://files.filefront.com/Call+of+J.../fileinfo.html

I played the demo and it seems like a good game. It's a western theme fps game. I gotta say westerns are sadly underrepresented in video games. The graphics are top notch and from what I hear the full game will have better textures.

If anybody is interested, I suggest looking at the site for features and general info about the game.

Expect era specific weaponry (I love those old revolvers and shotguns ^^) and some fun physics for liquids, objects, and people

. I do have one huge problem with the physics, penetration. It seems you can use practically anything as good cover. Then again, how many games actually have bullet penetration? The game's story sounds good enough to be interesting. There are a bunch of other nice features and the ai seems rather intelligent. LoL, and there is some sort of weapon fatigue/malfunction. I don't quite understand it, but it was funny watching the gun explode in my hand on several occasions (it's not a defect, it's a feature!).

The only real bad thing I have to say about this game right now is the awfully quick reloading of the weapons. Doesn't seem very realistic to me, but I guess they wanted to keep a fast pace.

To date, I have yet to play a western themed game that I really liked, but this one looks like a winner.
