  • 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

    With Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood, Techland delivered us an experience worthy of the best Sergio Leone movies: one on one duels and saloon brawls recall to our memory some of the best movies ever seen. A solid story coupled with excellent visuals make the game very enjoying, while on the cons side we find some difficulty spikes that make some scenes quite frustrating.

    This prequel has a great narrative, great voice acting and improves upon most of the gameplay shortcomings from the original.

    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.

    its a good western but at some points feels average but some gameplay concepts such as bullettime and horse riding is cool but few free roam sequences far are few and far between. the story pretty good.… Expand

    It's an ok sequel to an average shooter. Things get pretty dull after the start and all the missions are just more of the same. It's a shame really, that they didn't put any effort on creating a new plot. This is more like another view on the first game. Some of the graphics are also horrible, especially background and landscape textures. Still, there aren't that many shooters in this genre so i guess this will do. I just hope that the company knows when to quit when they're still ahead as i'm sure that with their knowledge and know-how things aren't gonna get any better than this.… Expand

    This game is solidly in my top 5 worst game stories of all time. It's one thing to have no story, or a bad story. But to pretend that you're writing something important when you're writing absolute garbage is something different entirely. The only twists you can't see coming are because they're so incredibly stupid that they're impossible to see. I would be shocked if more than 1% of the people playing the game couldn't see exactly how the game would end after the first minutes of the opening cutscene. It's THAT cliched. The gameplay isn't anything special, either. Typical FPS, but this one's set in a Western atmosphere. I'd really like for someone to actually get this right at some point, because the setting of the West offers interesting potential. There's an unacceptable amount of draw-in and pop-in, and EVERY SINGLE MISSION AND SIDE MISSION ending in the game's botched quick-draw duel system is beyond horrible. Hang 'em high, boys.… Expand
