After playing through Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood - I really came to the conclusion that some video game makers really don't have a god damn clue as to what they are doing. Don't get me wrong, the game looks pretty, is put together nicely in a boring linear shooter kind of way that will keep 13 year olds happy. BUT it just made me go ZZzzZzZzzZZZ the entire time.
Cons:
Typical man vs. all setup. No real new innovations, slow mo shooting has been around for awhile, so has the run n gun type of gameplay.
There's no intriguing story. The game probably has a solid hour worth of cut scenes that I just really didn't give a shit about.
WW2 shooters hate Nazis; Juarez hates Indians. The white man kills off all the Indians because they are too stupid to setup a formidable attack.
When do I get better weapons? - There are a few weapons to choose from in each class but they don't really vary much. They get better as you find the same weapons in better condition. Totally lame.
Pro(s): You get to dual wield six shooters. Cool.
All in all it isn't a particularly bad game - it's just got bumped up graphics with not much attention put to gameplay detail. It just didn't do anything for me at all. Call of Juarez is much like a night of taking E. You just not going to be feeling much at all after it.
