Balzo93's review for Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood (360)
Excellent gameplay, great graphics and an intriguing story makes for an impressive package in COJ. I picked up this game in mid July, looking for a game that would offer something just a little bit different to the typical FPS. I had never seen a western shooter before so i thought this fitted the bill. The story is the best part of this game, and the great variety of weapons and environments help to keep the gameplay feeling fresh throughout. I enjoyed being able to play as both Ray and Thomas. This allows the player to chop and change between the two and the styles in which they play are nicely contrasting. The story follows Ray and Thomas through an adventure that sees them attempting to rebel against their own army, however the story takes a turn towards fighting for a woman in the latter missions. I love the way the story is narrated by Ray and Thomas' little brother, who is a believer in God. This adds deapth to the story and becomes emotional at the end. The graphics are very good and the environments are nicely textured. The online features are good but are nothing special and definatly not what you would buy this game for, but they do make a good addition. If your a fan of FPS's, this is definatly a game you should pick up. Overall - 8.6/10

This game ia underrated as a whole. Great story, graphics, cutscenes. The game is definitely a looker. There are new maps available online for this game already, and the price has dropped to $29.99, so if you are a FPS fan, you have no excuse for not picking this game up. Pick it up, you won't be disappointed. -
This is such a great game, I really liked the first game as well but this game is so much better, it has decent graphics, the relationship between the brothers is also interesting. Makes me want red dead redemption alot more. -
just awsome graphics. great story line leading up to the original call of juarez. also, the bounty system used on multyplayer is real original. -
Excelente shooter. Buena historia, muy innovador en algunos aspectos y sobretodo muy entretenido. -
A second great entry in the series! -
This game come with it's pros, and cons, however the pros outweigh the cons fairly well. It starts out a bit slow, and can be a little dry at times, but overall its a solid shooter set in a Western theme. The story could have been a bit longer, and more fleshed out though. -
Very Good game, I hope that Red Dead Redemption will be as good as CoJ.
Good graphics, and a lot of good gameplay this is CoJ. RDR looking forward for you :) -
Not bad - think I preferred the first installment as I don't get there's much "newness" to this prequel - however it's still an enjoyable romp through an underused backdrop... -
wauw its cool and funny at the same time -
