(Update 2018 look the new 16.0 version from the CCEE. Amazing! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3o_R3gVxA54&t=962s. All in my hands to upgrade as the youtube vid.) I put a perfect note 10/10. I explain, now my CC converted in CCEE all in LED+ mug beer LED, alien strobe, shaker motor and stereo audio with 3D sound effect. Programming upgraded now the game is more deeper + animation, sound and music added but remains simple to understand. WPC95 + cowboy title + the return of the drop target in addition randomized it's simply the best mixed. Now, this title is completed can be appreciated at his real value.

Not a bad game but unfortunately you will realize that the software is not finished....this is sad as the pin has huge potential. I don`t know how good the new software Cactus Canyon Continued is, maybe this would change the rating. Very rare but if you get the chance "shoot the bad guys"...do it!

Great game. It is fun for everyone. It is a very addictive game. Top 10 game for sure if finished. Code incomplete. Have to have CC continued. Would not own again unless remake with cc continued installed and licensed. That said I do own again.

This is an excellent machine all-around. The premise is simple... take out bandits and collect your reward. Pretty rinse and repeat, but this is a difficult game to score big in. I was just shooting the ball around aimlessly for the most part, and I found that this is when I got my best score. When trying to specifically make shots, I struggled. Keys on this table are gunfights and quick draws, where you hit pop-up targets on the table as quickly as possible to get big points, get rewards, and advance your rank. While I still haven't figured out what good advancing your rank is, there are five key medals on the table that you need to get to activate "High Noon", which is a mode I've yet to get in my limited time with this game. What makes this game so great in my opinion is, not only the premise, but the table layout, and especially how easy it is to understand the rules. Cactus Canyon makes it simple to understand, but at times difficult to execute when it comes to the quick draws and gunfights. The sound and music isn't all that great, but just about everything about this table is. Watch out for the bumpers... they are really fast and if you tend to hold your flippers up to catch balls off the bumpers, you'll drain balls quite often.

A near perfect game in my humble opinion. There is little that could be improved. Of course there is the code, but in terms of design and variation it is solid. In fact, this is a tough review to write because there is little to say other than the game should be in the top 5.

One of my favourite pinball games with a great theme and a sublime execution of that theme on the playfield.
Pros:
- absolutely brilliant artwork on the playfield
- toys that really help to put you in the Wild West
- lots of different game modes, I particularly enjoyed the gunfight
- easy shots, you'll know your way around the playfield quickly
- lots of ramps
- the train
- great backboard art
Cons:
- no habitrail
- only 2 pop bumpers
- some speech very dodgy, I could swear that Eric Cartman from Southpark is featured in the game

Such a shame this was never finished, I know people are trying to finish it off but I'm rating this game as it came out the factory. Could have been a fantastic pin if the software was done, it seems to be around 90% there but just missing some final key features that would have made it awesome. Still plenty to do and a pretty fun game.

I'm rating this game based on adding the P roc "continued"
Factory code incomplete and kinda short
But very deep and enjoyable with CCC code installed

Cool game to look at. Much better with the CCC software......more a pin for its rarity than its game play.

This might be highest rated pin next to MM. I love these non-licensed themes executed so well. CC is a ton of fun.
Edit:
I wish I had more opputunity to play this game. I just really loved the non-licensed theme/integration and the wittiness of the game. The game played very well and had me coming back for more.

This game has a really good soundtrack. It really gets me excited and pumped up. Especially during the 'stop the train' mode. It has a lot of silly humor that makes you laugh. The action is pretty constant, while some of the shots can be tricky, none are impossible.
Multiball is fun, and relatively easy to achieve. Same goes for extra balls.
The quick-draw game tests your speed with accuracy. You need to hit a target as quick as possible to get the best award. The catch is that target is sometimes in a pretty tricky spot and getting the ball onto the correct flipper to shoot can prove difficult if you aren't lucky. The hardest is getting the quick-draw mode as the skill-shot award, as you need to time your shot perfectly to hit it when the ball comes down.
The animations are really good, I love the ball lock ones.
All in all, I really found this to be a fun, exciting table. The moving train and popping can are some cool features.

Played a good amount at pinball hall of fame on Vegas. Actually had a blast on the game. First time ever on it and got high score #2. Not a terribly difficult game or deep but the theme is fun the call outs are cool. I liked it alot more than I thought I would. Not a 20k dollar machine but if they did a remake I can see myself being in for one. Im sure a super clean one would be more enjoyable.
