Have you tried Call of Juarez???
by Joker on Wed Aug 12, 2009 11:55 am
Some say that the FPS (first person shooter) genre is over played and highly saturated with way too many games, and I wholeheartedly agree with them. However, its not always that something can rise up from the watered down market and float on top as something worth talking about. That's just what Call of Juarez has down.
Borrowing something from the Army of Two game, this game allows you to play as one of two brothers; Ray or Thomas. You can only select one brother to use in each chapter, and they both offer different abilities that are potentially better suited for different scenarios. Ray is the brute, Thomas the more finese character. Ray will charge into a situation with his double pistols, dynamite, rifle, or gatlin gun. Whereas Thomas will use his single pistol, rifle, knives, bow and rope to get an advantage spot to pluck you off.
They've also thrown in a couple of cool little "mini-games" into the chaos that is the Wild West! There's a "Concentration Mode" where, after you've killed enough bad guys in succession, you enter a slow-mo shott 'em up gallery. Ray will use his two pistols and gun down all who stand in his way with a flury of bullets, while Thomas will use his quick draw hammer pull single pistol and carefully head shot everyone in the picture.
As for "boss battles", at the end of some chapters, you will go toe to toe with one bad hombre. You'll have to pace side to side, and hold you hand near you pistol and wait for he ominous bell toll before you draw your pistol in a classic Old West shoot out. Timing and patience is everything as your life hangs in the balance.
An interesting story and fabulous gameplay make this a must buy for any fan on gunslingers, FPS or just plain ole debauchery!

I played the demo from the UK store and at the part where your brother helps you get over some shed I was like "OMG! This is what Army of Two was supposed to be!".
lol it's funny that this western fps about 2 brother is better than army of two
and why does everyone say there are too many fps's? what's wrong with fps? it's like my favorite genre
