Loved Sunset Riders on the Genni back in the day, but GUN is the only one of the current crop of old-West-themed games I've played - and that on the PSP! :lol Despite the obvious control adjustments due to only one analog, I really liked the game - in fact, it sold me on the PSP as an action game platform. The world was small, but it was well realized and atmospheric - I really got into it...
Call of Juarez: Loved the storytelling, voice acting, and overall design. Pretty linear, which was disappointing like OP said, but the action was good and exploration was still a part of the game.
CoJ 2: Meh.
Outlaws: Excellent. Still holds up today, mostly because of the brilliant level design.

RDR = the wrong way to do duels
CoJ:BoB = the right way to do duels
That's pretty much all I have to contribute to this thread that hasn't already been said (I.e. The CoJ games are awesome and well worth a playthrough).

The Lost Dutchman's Mine was actually pretty fun. I never got far in it back in the day, but it had loads of free-roaming and management to stay alive. You could go into town and buy rations and ammo, and then go into the wilderness to dig for gold, fight bandits and rattlesnakes, and eventually find clues to the mine of the title.
It also has a cool little bearded guy as the main character. Too many scarred Clint Eastwood badasses nowadays.

I haven't played Redemption yet... how does the soundtrack seriously stack up against RDRevolver's (which I thought was great)?
Outlaws is so damn good. Sooo good.
Also has the best soundtrack of any western game ever: Like this.

It wasn't worse, it was just a straight port of the other versions. No improvements were made.

Get it cheap. It's great in 15-minute bursts, but otherwise...
