Call of Juarez

Fun game good story. Heres a screen shot. My computer barely runs it at a decent framerate with settings all the way down. The bullet time is innovative at least. The SS is bullet time blasting blood is everywhere etc. Good stuff.

Your computer being what?

Fucking love western themed anything. I wish more games would embrace the setting, shooter or otherwise. Red Dead Revolver was just meh, and I really enjoyed Gun (PC) but it could've/should've been so much more.

Looking forward to this, good or bad.

I played the demo of this, tempted to try to see if I can get the download off of the UK site to work (apparently not available in the US yet).

I'm in the same boat as dub, basically, I love Western games.

Great game. Graphics, gameplay and story-line are all great. You play with 2 characters of which one has a more sneaking-type gameplay which can get annoying at times. When owning shit with guns though it's bad-ass.

I'm confused, wasn't this game released sometime last year? I vaguely remember playing it for a couple hours before moving on to something else.

It was released on PC and XBox360 on June 12, 2007.

Are you maybe thinking of Gun? It was released on November 15, 2005.

Beluyen · 06-18-2007, 08:56 AM

Nah he's thinking of this game - it was released last year in Europe. This is just the US release, which they updated for DirectX 10 and stuff.

Downloaded the game yesterday... Played it for about 40 minutes today before giving it up as complete trash.... Even with a 7900 GT/AMD X2 4800 I have to crank the detail way down to get it to play at a playable framerate...

What little "acting" I saw was B quality at best, the AI was a step back about 5-6 years and the physics seemed a step down from Half-Life 2. The controls/movement felt sluggish.

The only redeeming quality would have been the setting, but it didn't feel "authentic" at all, more like ye old stereotypical buildings meets oblivion forest... except the amount of "railroading" was so completely obvious that you were being lead on rails that it completely destroyed the experience... Let me know if the game suddenly gets better after you get past getting shot at in the saloon.

Yeah the beginning you gotta run like a little bitch.....Was kinda lame.....However I just beat it and was a good play through. I couldn't put it down just like Half Life 2. The scene where you are the "Right hand of God" was a blast. Get some cool weapons near the end. The hand cannon was rocking.

As far as AI goes it did the job the get behind cover pop out shoot go back to cover. Sometimes they run straight toward you though trying to get to closer cover. Also once Billy gets the bow he also becomes a badass.

Oh yeah and the chase scenes on Horses was also pretty cool.

I just picked this up yesterday. I got to the Saloon part before stopping last night. I cannot believe that this game literally has a warning in it like this:

"We do not allow violence to innocent civillians, corpses or horses. Any attempt to do so will cause the game to stop"

WHAT THE FUCK. If I want to go on a rampage in the old west why in the hell can't I? I can't shoot my horse, shoot civillians or even do a good corpse hump. After someone dies you can't just pop a cap into thier head for the great feeling it provides....what the hell.

This better not be a trend.

Gun was a step in the right direction for western video games... Call of Juarez was 2 steps back.

Jaytee Bushwacker · 07-07-2007, 08:43 AM

I concur, GUN was the best western video game I have played. It was just so short (or it seemed).
