Ubisoft’s Call of Juarez franchise is surely the definition of ‘hit-and-miss’ when it comes to first-person shooters (FPS) on current-generation hardware. The well received initial title shocked a lot of gamers, and as such a sequel was rolled-out to critical acclaim. A third title, Call of Juarez: The Cartel took the interesting route of bringing the Old West thematic to a modern day drug squad with decidedly mixed results. Of course, given that the gameplay didn’t stand-up to the willingness to experiment with this third title, developer Techland’s ambitions have been curtailed prematurely, and it’s back to that original Old West setting for the fourth title.
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.
Techland will be hosting a celebratory Call of Juarez: Gunslinger event in Dying Light 2 with special themed items and enemies. The "Undead or Alive" event will run from May 31 to June 7.
