Call of Juarez

Enjoyable Gameplay, Mind-blowing Visuals, Good voice acting, Physics, Great atmosphere, Reverand Ray is one bad ass
Billy�s stealth segments, Long loading times, Steep system requirements, AI is a bit wonky at times

Now back to the good part. Visually, the game does no wrong. Techland has obviously burnt a couple of gallons of midnight oil working on their new engine and it shows. On a good rig, the game looks absolutely mind blowing; in fact it will remind you of Oblivion a lot, with it's superb lighting and exquisitely detailed outdoor environments, complete with swaying grass et all. Characters appear pretty well detailed, although lip synching seems a bit off, but it's nothing that serious. Voice acting is a mixed bag; the actor playing Ray hams it up, but delivers a good performance nevertheless and the way he continuously recites lines from the Bible totally reminded me of Samuel L Jackson's character from Pulpfiction (which can never be a bad thing). Billy on the other hand whines a bit and comes off as a little wuss, but keeping his character in mind, I'll go easy on him.

In the end I thoroughly enjoyed this game even though it did border on mediocrity at times. Sure, I did get a bit irritated with Billy's stealth segments and the long loading times, in all honesty, CoJ did manage to satisfy those 'Western Shooter' pangs of mine.

Short but enjoyable. Ai is a bit poor. Should have put more effort into the ai and added more levels. A roleplaying style game, similar to oblivion would be ideal, but this game is level based and theres not a lot of levels here. Still good fun though and yes highly taxing on the old system. Rate this 7 out of 10.
