    I originally thought the graphics for this game would be a bit under par but they're very, very next gen. Smooth, beautiful coloration and physics and sound, an overall spectacular aesthetic experience.

    This game is like a good thrill ride in an amusement park. The gameplay is pretty linear and you have no freedom at all, but apart from that, I really enjoyed the game. It has some nice innovative features like the dynamic cover system (adds a great deal to the atmosphere if you learn to use it fluidly). Graphics/effects are also superb, but not remarkably improved over Call Of Juarez DX10 version. 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

    Great single player campaign, totally different when played with each brother. Multiplayer is superb aswell, just like Call of Duty but obviously set in the Old West. Wild West Legends is a fantastic game mode.

    Where is the co-op play! The structure of this game begs for that option. Two brothers, two players, to me, that is a very simple concept. I can play either brother, but not both together. I also found the 'draw' ending to the missions annoying and poorly implemented. Unless it was intentional, I found the controls acted differently from session to session. The predictable storyline was not very innovative. Expand

    I thoroughly enjoyed this game. I rented it, which is what I suggest all gamers to do because the game is quite short, but what it does do, it does right. While the graphics lack sheen, they're more than acceptable, the gameplay is great fun, and never truly frustrating... And... Was I the only one who thought the ending was Heart-wrenching?

    the plot is great. the shooting overall works and is historically accurate. it IS funny. the enviroments are awesome. if any thing this is a semi parody of the old west. if you dont like it, you can fuck right back off to your shitty halo 3. or WoW.

    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

    Following the sleeper call of juarez comes bound in blood. the first game had a fantastic storyline and a not so much multiplayer. this game follows that up with another great storyline, improved combat controls and an amazingly better multiplayer experience. ubisoft comes with another great game that i recommend for any and every first person shooter. especially those who are tired of the same old military, save the world type shooter. this is so much better and different and you will agree I'm sure.

    Amazingly fun game, and probably the best western shooter I've played. Compelling storyline, with likable ( and dis-likable characters ) will draw you into the game and make you want to keep playing it through to the end. About 6-8 hours of single player, but just long enough to tell the story. Could have done with slightly smarter AI, and leaving out cooperative mode was a mistake, as the entire game is centered around two protagonists side by side. Expand

    You’re Bound to love it. Before you roll your eyes at me, just ignore my bad pun and know that the humor in the game works much better :-) Part comedy, part Western, part shooter, this game has a lot going for it and a decent bit to live up to. Juarez 1 was loads of fun, it’s good to see that BiB lives up to and even surpasses what made the first game so good. If you liked the first, this will floor you. If you didn’t like the first, maybe it’s time to give this series another chance. Expand

    I felt compelled to write a short review of this came after reading the average reviews on Metacritic. I urge anyone who is considering buying this game to do so, it is an addictive game with unbelievably good graphics. It has a very enjoyable multiplayer that you will spend hours playing. Please don't listen to those negative reviews, they clearly didn't spend enough time on the game to truly enjoy the atmosphere and appreciate the time and effort put into the game by the developers. You most certainly will not regret buying this amazing, niche game. Expand

    Decent game pretty solid. Decent storyline, awesome graphics, very addictive. I quite liked the unique cover system felt totally different to alot of other FPS titles. This game is defiantly worth getting, it was released 09 and still in 11' it still feels like a brand new game.

    If you are looking for an authentic western experience then look no further this game absolutely nails it,the west conjures up images of a landscape that is wild,free and goes on forever and this game does a fantastic job of presenting that image of the west,It has a great story that you will get emotionally invested in. Fantastic game

  1. With detailed attention paid to its more lacking qualities, there's no reason why this couldn't burst into a full-fledged contender in the FPS genre. However, such was also the argument made for its predecessor.
  2. The game may not be long but what it lacks here it makes up for in quality. A soild and enjoyable shooter which everyone should experience.
  3. A really fun title. I enjoyed the western setting as well as a couple of the twists that were in the story. In addition the fact that I can go through the campaign a second time and get a slightly different view of events is a great idea.
