Awesome game set in the early Wild West

I rarely play western games, but I was aching for some early era western games, and this one definitely hit the spot. Good story, fun characters, fun gameplay (except for the duels), and a great western vibe. It's worth it to buy it for the original price, but if you can wait for a sale the value of this game is incredible! Recommended if you're looking for an early Wild West game with a good story.

Good Wild West Shooter with Issues

The game really shines with it's setting and storytelling, but the experience is marred by several unnecessary issues. The automatic cover-mechanic is innovative, but doesn't work anywhere near as well as just letting you crouch down and pop out from cover manually. All it really does is make cover more of a hindrance as your character will spazz out trying to figure out what you want to do and it makes overall movement awkward and choppy as the character model is trying to interpret movement as cover-seeking on EVERYTHING. Imagine Assassin's Creed's free-running and jumping in FPS and you get the idea. The game even has some minor plattforming, which is just as awkward. The duel mechanic is interesting at first, but also ends up being mostly just a massive pain in the ass before long. The game rewards some exploration, but the NPCs will constantly hound you for actually doing it. All in all, it's a very solid FPS in a great setting and a captivating story that is strongly hamstrung by trying too hard to be different. Still worth a playthrough for FPS and Wild West fans.

The best of CoJ franchise

IMHO the best CoJ game out there. People can say a lot of good things about the first CoJ (including me, i know this game very well, been playing it since 2009) but i still put BiB a bit higher on my "the best of" list than the first one. You need this game, trust me. Buy it, play it, enjoy!

Amazing series

Ahh the glory days of single player shooters. Such an amazing series of games, with great characters and story and superbly voice acted as well. If you love cowboys, this is a must have. It's a brutal game with a sad story that you'll remember for ages. I'll tell you what I always tell people to whom I recommend this game: In the first game, you can dual weild revolvers...or....you can have a revolver in one hand and the Bible in the other, and while your shooting people your character recites vengfull quotes from it. Absolutley glorious. As far as faults go...the game clearly has some PC quality issues, since it was made for consoles, just like most games of that era. But that's about it. It's a great time. I recommend all of them except maybe the one that's set in modern times...that one was a bit of a miss, just because the setting was so important for the series.

The best of the Call of Juarez saga

The second instalment of the saga, bound in blood, is arguably the best of the three ( Cartel is not worthy of mention) with an even more enticing story than the first one and a solid gameplay. Yup, the game looks even better than the first (not just for the better graphic engine, which would be normal, being a prequel - sequel, but for the design choices... Sometime, I stopped playing just to look at the rendition of the open desert of the ol'west by techland) and way more intriguing stories, well thought out, full of western cliché but never boring, and very mature (and not just for shock value but with actual meaning) To be perfectly frank, I'm not giving the full score of 5 stars just because of some minor technical defect and for the ''stealth'' section with Thomas (one of the two character you can choose) which are almost non existent. So...Yup, hear the call and go play this game. Even after all these years, it still holds up to the test of time!
