  • Summary: Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood transports players from a ravaged Civil War-era Georgia to the Aztec ruins of Mexico. In the wildest West ever depicted, players can embody both McCall brothers in an intense storyline full of greed, lust and lawlessness that takes place during a legendary period of American history. Become a Gunslinger - Harness a variety of weapons from various revolvers to heavy-caliber cannons and machine guns. Every accurate shot increases concentration, which allows players to unleash deadly shooting modes when outnumbered and even deadlier ones when the brothers work together. Dual Collaborative Gameplay - Players choose to embody Ray or Thomas, each with a distinctive gameplay style (close or long range), specific abilities (lasso, dynamite, etc.) and arsenal of deadly weapons (dual guns, long-range carbine, etc.). Take advantage of each of their strengths and join in the fiercest fights imaginable. Never Before Seen Western Experience - Experience the iconic settings full of outlaws - the West before it was tamed. The McCall brothers face a renegade Apache Chief, a greedy Mexican bandit, a vindictive Colonel, and others, all driven by greed with moral disregard. Enjoy a wide variety of situations, using horses, canoes and wagons to explore the vast natural landscapes of the fabled Wild West and its legendary period. Innovative Online Multiplayer - Developed in unison with the single player mode, multiplayer offers numerous modes and maps, resulting in endless hours of Wild West mayhem. Gunslingers, bandits and marshals struggle online for the bounty. Multiple characters are unlocked for team-based objective modes or the straightforward team death match. With a new Bounty system, players increase the bounty on their head with more kills. Get rid of the deadliest among you to increase your bank roll. [Ubisoft]… Expand

    Outstanding western-shooter, whose love for details, brilliant graphics and great variety make it an instant hit.

    Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood is a good shooter to play. It really makes the player feel they are an outlaw in the Wild West. The story and gameplay drives it all home, but the multiplayer aspect probably won't make the player stay after one or two playthroughs.

    It literally feels as if Techland studied the original Call of Juarez, identified all the things that made it feel fresh and interesting, and intentionally left them out of the sequel. What was once a franchise of weirdly intoxicating half-successes has been turned into a dull, unsatisfying, originality-devoid shell of its former self.

    Bound In Blood is one of (if not THE) best western themed shooters around. Great setting, great story, great voice-acting and great action make the original look like crap.… Expand

    This game isn't as good as the original. Most of the guns used didn't exist at the time the game is supposed to take place (end of the Civil War, and immediately after). I can forgive that, since many western movies have the same flaw. However, some of the action sequences are just not that great. The duels at the end of every level grow tiresome. Not to mention, the controls for them seem somewhat vague (was handled much better in Red Dead Redemption). It's a decent game. If you like westerns and get it for a good price, give it a go. Also, the hardware requirements didn't seem too steep at all. I have a several year old machine (Phenom II X2, 6 GB RAM, Geforce 8800GT), and it ran the game on mostly high settings.… Expand

    "Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood" is simply a crappy game to start off with. First of all, this game doesn't feel western; it's gun animation or the shooting feel is too lethargic and clumsy for me. Second, the story is plain **** Watch "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" 3 times and broaden the story, and boom! You have this. Lastly, the AI. The game's Artificial Intelligence is one of the most heavily scripted thing I've seen in my life. Too easy, too simple. Don't buy this.… Expand
