Boring game that brings nothing new


Graphical engine is great, but that's it.

It brings nothing to the FPS genre, it does nothing well, it completely repeats itself over and over again.

One of the first FPS-games that I actually had to uninstall before completing the game (got the medallion, quit there).

Even the one liners are annoying, since even those get repeated till the end of times. Played mostly with Ray, in which time he said probably 30+ times. "Two is hardly a challenge."

I laughed myself when I read the user comment on the "main page", when the writer comments how this is better than Red Dead Revolver, which isn't even out yet. I'm 100% sure it will be better than this.

6/10. Boring.

It barely ended 8 years ago????? What does that even mean??

Shouldn't they also stop making war games then, since the world is in a perpetual state of war? How about all we have is racing games and world of warcraft because who knows what could happen?

Are those dusty jump wings? How do you expect to slay the Huns with dust on your jump wings?

I have to disagree with you. The gun play was very impressive, reminding me of the days when all the guns in an FPS were viable options. I even spent a large portion using the Superb Ladies Gun - a 2 shot pistol.

I loved the way the cover system worked, felt pretty close to the way a real person would move. I very much enjoyed the characters, and the voice acting. I watched all the cut scenes which were very well mo-capped, and was never once bored by any facet of the game.

A few technical bugs here and there which are just cosmetic really are the only negatives I have about this game.

Pleasantly surprised overall (especially when compared to it's predecessor) easily a 9/10, and one of the best western themed FPSs I've ever played. Possibly even THE best.

i understand what the OP was saying, and skymarshall gta 4 is one of the best games ever made, completely different to other titles in the series, i can't see how you can bash that and not this

I hated the first game...n I ended up buying this one because there was absolutely nothing else left...I installed this game n forgot bout it for some time (got distracted by bionic commando :-P).
However when I finally got round to playing it again, I was pleasantly surprised....call of juarez: BiB was one hell of a game. Loved each n every single part of it! I dont think I've ever played a western game that was as AWESOME as this one!!
10/10


PS
loved the quick draw sections!

Aside from some frustrating "How the hell do I get through this level?" moments. (It's probably just me), I thought this game was great in most respects. Graphics are out of this world, voice acting is superb, the story is engrossing (even though you know where it's going) and the gameply was mostly fun, aside from my above rant. I'm a person who loves a good story attached to a computer game, and I loved this one. Marc Alaimo rocks as Ray McCall. Of course, he was great as Gul Dukat from Deep Space Nine.

Will spend many more hours replaying.
