Call of Juarez review for Xbox 360

Call of Juarez is a wild-west shooter with a compelling plot of revenge and pursuit. Unusually, you'll take on the roles of both pursuer and quarry alternately as you play cat-and-mouse through the deserts and towns of the Old West - picking off baddies and taking on the Apache as you play out the chase at the heart of the game. Call of Juarez is a good old-fashioned first-person shooter with a canny twist: will it be a must-have for anyone who likes the feel of a virtual loaded rifle?

You’re hiding behind a pair of barrels as bullets buzz past your ear like angry bees. The shooting stops and you seize your chance, rushing out to confront your aggressors - four bandits standing on and around the train they’ve just derailed. You whip out your twin pistols and time seems to stand still - both crosshairs wobble around at first, but then you train them on your targets. Firstly the guy with the moustache is sent reeling by one to the temple. Then it’s a lead tracheotomy for the rifleman next to him, and the enemy on the roof spins and falls as you catch him clean through the heart. The revolver-toting bandido rushing towards you has no chance, as you train both guns on his head and give him a face full of bullets which blast his stetson clean off. Then with a whoosh, time returns back to normal. Smoke rises from your six-shooters. All four men crumple to the dirt. You feel a surge of relief and adrenaline, your eyes widen, and you shake your head in disbelief.
The brilliant thing about Call of Juarez is that it has so many moments like this. It’s a stunner when you first distract enemies while reading the bible before taking them out with the pistol held in your other hand. Similarly, there’s a heart-stopping moment when you’re sneaking around at night, and a flash of lightning betrays your position. And when you finally pick up a scope rifle in a ghost town filled with outlaws, you’re in for a real treat. Click here to continue reading our Call of Juarez review for Xbox 360 now!
