User Rating: 7 | Call of Juarez X360
Call of Juarez tries a different take on the first person genre by setting it in the old west; a welcome change from the typical si-fi/war themes that exist. The most striking feature of the game are its graphics and they are good. In particular, the lighting effects and high dynamic used makes everything seem more natural. Going beyond graphics and western setting, Call of Juarez is surprisingly average despite all the numerous minor additions to game play. For example, two protagonists that you alternate between, quick-draw matches with end bosses, ability to ride horses (even though they may be sparse). Ultimately the blame can be laid on the main story, which is not strong enough to set it apart from other shooters, and the level design, which again is not original/unique enough. There are exceptions, such as the part where you search for Juarez’s gold but most levels are quite bland.
That it not to say this is a bad game, it is just an average shooter in an very crowded market. The single player campaign will keep players interested for its span. A worthy rental for the FPS fan but not worth owning.
