This review is from: Call Of Juarez: Bound In Blood (PS3) (Video Game)
Call of Juarez is a little gem. Graphically it is very good, I sometimes find myself looking around at the scenery, there are a few tears but considering the draw view it is very polished. Controls are different but not impossible to master after an hour or so, you will soon be shooting from the hip. The controls feel similar to Resi 5 at first with the exception that you can run 'n' gun.The story is very good, and you do start to sympathise with the characters. You can play as Ray or Thomas in most chapters as each character has their own skill or trait. However if you like collecting trophies then you will have to play this at least twice which is not a bad thing, as the characters take different routes so it won't be the same on your 2nd walk through. Voice acting sounds quite authentic and not too clichéd. The game does start off slow as your fighting in the middle of the American civil war but I'm guessing it is to get you used to the combat controls. The game really picks up when the civil war is over and you start to get engrossed in the story, and soon becomes very hard to put down as you (well I did)will want to know how the story pans out. The checkpoints as another reviewer has pointed out is a bit cumbersome and does pause the game momentarily, however as this game was made for 3 formats one can only presume that the autosave is very similar to that on a PC, but it really doesn't detract from the gameplay. The side quests are a nice touch, adding a bit of variety and the chance to earn some much needed cash. Cash we can be spent buying new and better weapons. Also the horse riding elements is pretty good and quite easy to control and shoot at the same time. There is lots to do on single player, and even more on multiplayer, and after couple of hours I had no problems to report. Another good feature is that any kills or money picked up gets added to your single player and trophy stats, again this will please the trophy hunters. I gave this game 5 stars for fun and 4 for overall. If you like FPS and ye olde style guns then you will love this. Call of Juarez is the benchmark for good old story telling in the wild west.

I was looking forward to this game. I love first person shooters, and the whole western genre, so this seemed like a match made in heaven. I was happy enough with the graphics - not mind blowing, but often very good looking, the characters I found interesting and the storyline engaging. The bonus of a level set during the Civil War was a delight too.However, there's ONE thing that annoys me about this game - the stupid duel system that kicks in whenever you meet a boss. It's tricky to get this right, and the exact same actions/timing/reactions can result in success or failure seemingly at random. The worst thing is that the whole game stops while you try to beat them to the draw - it'd be OK if these were little bonus games, but no, you're stuck trying and trying again, all the time longing to get on with the story, the shoot outs and the gunslinging. Remove those stupid duels, and this would be a great game (even with the rather basic online version).

Do not be put off by the one star review,this is definitely not a one star game. It looks good, it plays well and has great atmosphere. OK it is not a perfect game but if you like Westerns and First Person Shooters and don't have a COD4 fixation you should enjoy this.
