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

    If you’ve been waiting for a great Western-themed shooter, then look no further than Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood. The gameplay is fun and varied, the story is entertaining, the visuals are well done, the voice acting is terrific, and the game even sports a respectable online offering.

    Bound in Blood greatly exults over its predecessor and proves to be one of the finer single player experiences you’ll get to play through for your Xbox 360.

    Bound in Blood is not only an improvement but also a fun shooter with a lot to offer. Although the game does suffer from a few problems, what really stand out are the great story, bullet-fueled action and excellent multiplayer mode.

    An amazing experience. This is a game which I will remember for a long time. Not particularly for the game play, but for the truly immersive atmosphere and enticing story.

    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.

    Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood isn’t a terrible game. On the contrary, it’s a game with a ton of unrealized potential that executes with the grain.

    I felt compelled to write a short review of this came after reading the average reviews on Metacritic. I urge anyone who is considering 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

    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 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
