Tales of two brothers have become very popular in the last few years. Army of Two, Kane and Lynch (not brothers, but soulmates) and Call of Juarez. CoH BiB is something unexpected that will always tempt you to come back to it, because the beauty of its sense is always there, and yes, it will hunt your ass down.
PRESENTATION
The story follows Ray (the much older brother) and Thomas (the younger one). The story starts and looks like an end, but the memories of Thomas and Ray's youngest brother interfere thus taking us to the very beginning, the American Civil war, the year of 1864, the Southern army beating the Northern in a crucial battle the two main brothers were a part of. After the war, they return to their destroyed home and find their youngest brother sitting next to their dead mother. Ray promises to rebuild the house, once they are done with their biggest enemies. Throughout the story, i bonded with the main characters, i also noticed how Thomas reacts in certain situations where Ray hits a target. Depending on how many bullets you use to kill an enemy (you can play as either Thomas or Ray) the other brother gives you either a compliment or a negative attribute, but after a short time, those started to be more common and more often, so it kinda gets boring fast. While going through the campaign, you stay at some sort of sandboxes that you can explore and do missions in, they also exist there because you can gather more cash for guns and ammo that are bought in weapon shops scattered around unlinear levels. Every gun (many of them are in the game) has its own advanced version, and the versions go like this: Rusty<Silver<Gold. Rusty is marked with one star, silver with two and gold with stars.
GRAPHICS
The game still looks badass. Not that i can say much, but it is the same engine that was used for Assassin's Creed II. Even on high-end PCs you may encounter texture tearing, on objects hit by the rain especially.
MULTIPLAYER
About 5-6 game modes played on small maps with weapons that are picked up. Everyone starts with weapons that they choose and have unlocked before. It is pretty fun, but the campaign will make you play it a bit later.
THE VERDICT
Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood is an excellent example of a wild West focused game, it may not be better than Red Dead Redemption, but it sure is the second best wild West game ever made. I give this alabama special a 9.2 because the sounds can glicth sometimes and because the multiplayer won't keep you on that chair with a keyboard and a mouse/joypad for amlong time.
