Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood

Review: Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood I haven't played a better cowboy game than this. Considering it came out in 2009, the graphics are a masterpiece—truly gorgeous, delivering an even better Wild West experience. The characters and the story? Wow, I am left speechless. This game is basically everything the first game should have been: it took what didn't work, fixed it, or completely removed it, and I am extremely glad they did. You can really tell they paid close attention to fixing every single flaw. Graphics and Visuals Let's start right there with the game and its graphics. For a 2009 release, looking the way it does is insane. Even if you pick it up and play it today, I think you can easily compare it to titles released back in 2016 or 2017, which is no small feat. Story and Characters The story is incredible; I honestly didn't expect it to have this much depth. The only minor downside is that you can get lost pretty quickly, and it's not the easiest plot to follow at first—but once you dive deeper into it, everything makes complete sense. Unlike the first game, you don't have to worry as much about slow pacing; the action is coming at you from all sides, and it's never …

While this game does improve on some of the shortfalls of the first Call Of Juarez, this is still a game that is only worth getting if it's on sale. I can forgive historical inaccuracies in a game if the game is really fun to play (Battlefield 1, Battlefield V, etc) but this game does not have good enough gameplay for me to overlook that sort of stuff. In the first few missions of the game, you play as a Confederate soldier in the American Civil War, and everyone you fight with or against, including yourself, are using metallic cartridge revolvers or lever action rifles, even though lever action rifles were virtually nonexistent in the desperate late war Confederacy, and even for the Union, lever action rifles were only really seen in cavalry units and elite infantry units. And for metallic cartridge revolvers, they were much more rare than cap and ball revolvers in both the number of guns available and guns actively used in battle. Not to mention the cannons in the game have laughably bad bullet drop and require some trial and error to get right. Also the tone and writing of the game gives off a lot of Lost Cause vibes portraying Sherman's March To The Sea in a really negative…

Pathetic console newbie game: 1.) Enforced autoaim 2.) Enforced DOF 3.) Enforced motion blur 4.) Ridiculous FOV 5.) Limited keybinding 6.) Ludicrous crosshair 6.) Crosshair even with iron sights 7.) Offered choice to pick a character in first mission, only to find one of them is 'not available'. 8) If you go the 'wrong' way, even on the first mission, even by a few yards, you fail and have to restart, with no warning.

At first I disliked this game, then by the end I fell in love with it, it got me with the story and the gameplay, it was cool watching the game progress. story was long but made sense, epic game 10/10

all the people saying the game was crashing and full of bugs were wrong, didnt crashed a single time or had any game breaking bugs in my gameplay. with that out of the way, call of juarez:bound by blood was really good, the soundtrack and the world design is top notch, and the gameplay is way better than the first one, especially with the new cover mechanics, the new open areas to explore, and the rework on the "deadeye" mechanic. the game also had its downs, like some enemies dealing way too much damage sometimes, but i overall had a great time and enjoyed the challenge

Perfect sequel, everything matches up. Gameplay is awesome, especially once you get into the zone. And the music compliments everything. Hard recommend
