Call of Juarez: Bound In Blood
Call of Juarez: Bound In Blood, développé et co-édité par Techland avec Ubisoft Entertainment, est sorti le 30 juin 2009 sur PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 et PC. Ce jeu de tir et d'aventure, fonctionnant sur le Chrome Engine, plonge le joueur dans le Far West de 1864 où les frères McCall, afin de sauver leur famille, traquent l'or légendaire de Juarez et n'hésitent pas à éliminer quiconque se met en travers de leur chemin, tout en voyant leur lien fraternel mis à l'épreuve par l'argent et les femmes. L'immersion propose d'explorer à pied, à cheval, en train ou en canoë des étendues sauvages peuplées de hors-la-loi comme un chef Apache rebelle ou un bandit mexicain, et le joueur peut incarner Ray ou Thomas, aux approches de combat distinctes et aux aptitudes propres, en s'appuyant sur un arsenal allant des pistolets aux mitrailleuses, la concentration augmentant avec chaque tir réussi pour débloquer des modes de tir spécifiques. Notons que les fonctionnalités en ligne ont cessé d'être prises en charge en août 2016, rendant le multijoueur inaccessible. Le titre affiche un score Metacritic de 78 et une note agrégée de 77,92, pour une durée de sept heures et demie en histoire principale et douze heures et demie en complétion. La presse a salué l'œuvre, Cynamite évoquant un western-shooter exceptionnel à l'attention aux détails et aux graphismes brillants, tandis que Game Chronicles l'a qualifié de favori de 2009 ; certains joueurs sur Metacritic ont apprécié l'histoire captivante et les graphismes de l'époque, quand d'autres sur Steam ont regretté la mauvaise qualité des voix ou un viseur envahissant.

Avis des Joueurs (Metacritic)
« It's a good game, with great graphics for its time. Two aspects caught my attention. First, the story is engaging — you always want to know what happens next. Second, the duel mechanics are very fun. »
« just like i said, with the other part (Call of Juarez: Gunslinger), 10/10 game »
« Amazing game, good story, very good scenarios, the duels system really **** is a aberration, but the rest of the game is amazing, if you can, play it now »
« Very good Western First Person Shooter! Xbox 360 is the best Console Version! Great Graphics, not perfect but very nice! This Game is a good choise and sometimes better then Call of Duty or Battlefield! »
« Call of Jaurez: Bound in Blood is my favourite theme of the wild west, and does an absolutely tremendous job telling a somewhat cliche love story of two outlaws taking fighting to save a girl also including timeline events such as the American Civil war, and the fall of the indians. The game is smooth, fun, and simple. The online is also a blast, and the whole wild west is represented very accurately. I can't really flaw the game, however the content is just not there to offer a perfect 10. Overall an amazing game also featuring a goat that can climb ladders! »
« Call Of Juarez Bound in Blood is a decent western-themed FPS. The gameplay is decent,with good gunplay,decent AI,and decent mission variety.I like how you get to choose which brother you want to play as before certain missions.Each has their own special weaon,like a bow and arrow or **** game,however,does a terrible job of telling you where to **** game also gives you far too little time to reach objectives without saying 'mission failed'. The graphics are nice,with a real western look to them,which really makes you feel like you are in this **** framerate does drop in certain levels,but for the most part is fine. The story is interesting and well-developed and the sound design is incredible.However,the soundtrack is absolutely horrible. Overall,Call Of Juarez Bound in Blood is an okay western first-person shooter **** you like games with deep storylines,you will love **** the rest of us,it's a decent western shooter. »
« Game is a lot better than it's predecessor and as a western style game is good fun. It runs a better storyline than gun but the game play in that is smoother, I would recommend red dead or call of juarez gunslinger from xbox arcade before this game, but if you are specifically looking for a western genre you may have a bit of fun with this title. »
« Its third act is quite a letdown and some of its gameplay elements are inherently forgettable, but "Call Of Juarez: Blood In Blodd" still adds up to a mostly enjoyable western game. »
