Call of Juarez (PC) > Reviews (2)

Call of Juarez promises so much yet delivers so very little. The concept of it interested me greatly but the game itself was disappointing.

You play as two characters, one at a time - Reverend Ray and Billy. Reverend Ray has a dark past and when his brother is killed his dark side comes out once again. Billy is a nobody who has spent his time looking for the treasure of Juarez only to return home empty handed. He gets caught up in a battle at the beginning and soon finds himself being blamed for the deaths of a few villagers. There is nothing in the game which endears the player to either character making you less interested in the story.

The game is easy enough without the concentration mode that you are given which makes the entire thing stupidly easy aside from the final level.

In conclusion the graphics are nothing to write home about, the sound is a mixed bag (good voiceovers, poor battle noises), the gameplay is awful and there's no replay value whatsoever. Add that to what would be a decent story if it weren't for the lack of connection formed between the characters and the player and you're left with a very unsatisfying game.
