Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood review and video

Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood is a Western themed first person shooter video game. It is a prequel to the first game, Call of Juarez that debuted in 2006 on PC and 2007 on the Xbox 360. The game was released on PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on June 30, 2009.

According to its creators Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood is aimed to make the player experience the "best West ever created". The game gain from spaghetti-western genre: gunslingers, outlaws, duels, prison breaks, bank robberies, carriage chases and conflicts with Native Americans, alike to another western game, Gun. It features two characters, brothers Ray and Thomas. The game plot is areas fin the American Civil War period and presents adventures of two brothers across different parts of North America.

The game begins in medias res with Ray and Thomas pointing their weapons at each other. William is mournful on how things degenerated to the point where the two brothers became mortal enemies. The scene then shifts to the Civil War where Ray is holding the line against Union armed forces when he hears that the area Thomas is stationed at is under attack. He then rushes to save his brother, but after they defeat the enemy they are ordered to retreat to Atlanta. They refuse because the line they are holding now is the last line of defense that protects their family’s home. They desert their post to save their mother and younger brother William from the Union troops attacking their home. When they finally make it to their home, they realize their mother was killed and Ray promises to rebuild the house, promising that they will be a family again.

Before each mission you can decide between one of the two brothers. Although the games Story Mode is fairly short, each brother has a different outcome on the missions, often you will run into split paths for either brother to take, or certain key points where one brother needs to do exacting things while the other does something else. Some key points, one of the brothers will be driving a Caravan while the other Shoots from behind, depending on which brother you pick at the beginning will be what task you get. One brother’s Story mode will be quite different than the others
The games multiplayer modes are mostly team-based, with a assortment of objectives and character classes accessible. Players swap teams after each match to play on the other side of the encounter. The game uses a reward system for scoring, with players who have killed a great number of enemies being worth more to their enemy. Some multiplayer maps are directly inspired by famous scenes from Western movies.
