Tin Salamunic: Despite its shortcomings, Techland’s 2009 sequel Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood was a sleeper hit offering exciting shooting mechanics, a beautiful Wild West backdrop, and a meaty campaign. Shifting the FPS genre to a Western setting felt refreshing and it was a real shame that The Cartel took the entire franchise to its grave two years later. Hoping to redeem themselves, Techland decided to revert to its old Western roots with a shift towards arcade-style gameplay and a good dose of humor. While I was somewhat skeptical at first, I’m happy to report that Call of Juarez: Gunslinger is a remarkable sequel that puts the series back on the map. With its comic book style presentation and a heavier focus on headshot combos and climbing score charts, Techland finally found the perfect balance between western badassery and unadulterated silliness.
Here’s why the masterful Call of Juarez: Gunslinger might be the single best Western shooter there ever was.
It is a fun game and I love how the world changes around you as the narrator tells the story and lies about how things went down to liven things up for his audience.
I’m pretty sure that’s not what people were saying when it first released. If it was better received we’d probably of seen a sequel.
Actually it got a lot of praise from the few people who did review it, problem was the franchise had by then already burned it's reputation to ashes, this game was a final flashy firework before it was snuffed for those that stuck around. It was too little too late.
Duel in this was nerve wracking never seen a better game that nailed the focus and feel of tension of gun duel since.
Sound design was amazing as well.
Very fun western shooter.
Damn i played it for an hour and liked it way back...but i got distracted by something else and never went back to it...still own it on steam.
