Underated Gem

I really enjoy this series. The gameplay is fun and satisfying. The story is good. The graghics and mechanics have held up well. What I like about Bound in Blood is the abillity to choose which character you get to play between 2 of the 3 brothers. The game is not perfect ( none of these are). You cant change the controls because they revert back to the old ones as soon as you enter a new area. The graghics, while still good, could have been a little more polished. If you're looking for a good western style game, this is a solid choice.

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.

Good game worsened by consolification

This is a good game, but it could be better. The first Call of Juarez while not perfect is a better game gameplay wise. There is one thing that they imprved here over the first game: The duel mechanic, it is finally working! I wish that was the only thing they changed. Graphics are better, but this is tainted by effects that make it impossible to see anything on screen. Right at the first level whenever a cannon shoots the screen shakes and gets so blurry that you can't see anything anymore. Bodies are disapearing after a few seconds which kills the mood and which makes it harder to find dropped money and ammunition. The cover system is bad, if you are playing with mouse and keyboard, but luckily you can disable it. Bullettime was better in the first game, sure in this game bullettime is better for controllers, but with mouse it is worse. In this game we have less physics than in the first game. I liked to play around with the physics in the first one. I don't know why, but in this game you can still only use one of the thump buttons on your mouse. This was the same in the first one, would have thought, they'd fixed that for this one. At least you can get around it by creating a macro via the mouse driver. Mouse sens is stupidly high, I have set it to the lowest I am able to set it in the settings and it is still too high. I haven't taken a look at the config file yet, but as this game got consolified, I doubt that there is much that can be done here. I know I could lower my dpi but they are already just at 800. Other than that the game is quite simmilar to the first one and if you liked the first, you are going to like this, too, but probably not as much.

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!
