  • 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.

    Drawing a thin line, Bound in Blood is far from being a perfect game. Fortunately, the story has such a rapid pace and takes you from one area to the other that you won’t really have the time to get frustrated.

    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

    Bound In Blood is an underrated game, insane shootouts, good story, nice graphics (for its date).
    I played right through in a day so it is a b    it short, but quality not quantity in my opinion. Best western shooter I've played. 8/10.… Expand

    I'm from Poland and i'm produ that game like this are made by my country. It's not perfect and even close to perfect, but fresh and good enough to give few hours of wild western shootouts. Mulitplayer modes are good too.… Expand

    +It looks like a western +its got dual guns +its got horses +its got wanted posters, -side missions you don't need to do, you already have all the money you need.
    -it feels like a console port, autoaim, very easy (you seem to take alot of damage without dying), AI are terrible, cutscenes galore
    -concentration mode replaces what used to be a good game mechanic (needing to fire as soon as the cursor moves over a enemy) now essentially boils down to move mouse randomly over the screen and they automatically get targeted. Lame.
    -Story is rather plain, the brother aspect is more of a excuse to create conflict. One brother starts trouble.    … Expand
