Video Game Analysis: Call of Juarez 2010
* Genre: Shooting
* Developer: Techland
* Distributor: FX
*Author : PCGameTrek UK Sarah Fowlan
I wonder how many of you have never heard of “spaghetti westerns”, no, this is a special pasta dish. It was a genre born in the late sixties and saw its consecration maximum around the seventies. Bandits, Indians, outlaws and cowboys solitary compared, on the screens of cinema, the sound of a pistol (or with bows and arrows). Even the screens of our computers have had their fair share of Westerns, albeit minor compared to other periods in history as the Second World War or ancient Rome. Now we are here to really talk about a game that comes out of this line, or Call of Juarez 2010 (PC). As such, this title is not new issue, in fact, a version revised and corrected “the game came out three years ago, modified for enhanced to adapt to today’s technologies, will be success or failure?
A Gun for Billy
This is the story of two men and a treasure, the gold of Juarez. According to an ancient legend, this treasure of the Aztecs was the ransom for their king, Montezuma, who was kidnapped by the Spaniards. The gold is buried near the town of Juarez, the border with Mexico, but there is also a curse on this treasure, all those who have tried have died or gone crazy. Billy Candle, the first of our protagonists, is an impulsive young man who decides to turn the page and it should be rich, so he decided to go in search of the treasure of Juarez. Unfortunately for him it is successful, so he returned to his home with his tail between his legs. But came home he discovers that someone has murdered his mother and his stepfather, the situation falls fast enough when poor Billy is captured at the scene by Reverend Ray McCall, the second protagonist, the latter, of course, thinks that the young Billy is the murderess and then decides to pursue him with the sole intent to kill. Thus begins a story in which we will, from time to time, to play as hunter or prey. The story in itself is not bad, and the fact that live from two different points of view makes it quite interesting. But often there is a feeling that the developers have put special care in the development of events is as if they had made little effort to put together a plot that can justify what will happen on screen.
Two people also means two different ways of approach to the various levels of play. Billy is a slender type and only takes a few hits to knock out, however, has its agility and ability to hide. So when we use this character, we go through the levels without being seen by enemies, as required between the goals of the game, otherwise we will send back a game over the last lifeboat. In other cases we have to muster all the agility of which Billy has to go through the levels, climbing on different platforms or above the ravines with a whip that can also be used as an offensive weapon. In addition to the aforementioned whip, Billy can use the bow, a silent weapon capable of killing enemies with one shot. (PC) Call of Juarez in these situations will behave more like a stealth action with platforming elements rather than as a shooter.
When we use the game Ray, however, will again be a hard and pure shooter. This reverend / gunslinger has a protective armor that makes it shock resistant firearms. Perhaps it is because of the armature, or old age, but Ray is not flexible, so it can jump between different platforms such as the young Billy, but it will not be able to climb. So to overcome the inequalities, we begin to amass funds to form a sort of scale. Ray is a gunman and an acrobat, he is able to use two pistols, one hand and the ability to turn shots slowed down when it is active enough relining weapons and press the fire, Ray quickly extract guns and activate the “Bullet Time” (to quote the clumsy translation of the manual), it is a bullet time where we see the two sights of the guns to converge toward the center of the screen and we’ll have to shoot before the two come together. The other weapon available to Ray is faith, it can challenge a gun in one hand and the Bible in the other, during these stages, pressing the weapon drawn right, and Reverend declaims a few lines that will confuse the enemy.
Once Upon a Time in the West
The presence of duels and pursuits on horseback helps give a bit of variety to the game play. You realize soon enough, unfortunately, the defects that dot 2010 Call of Juarez (PC). During the game play Most of the time we will be traveling the long corridors with few branches. The aim is to reach the other side, killing all with Ray or trying not to be seen by anybody with Billy. In mid-game (about 6-7 hours) you have the feeling that he had already discovered all that the title has to offer in the field of variety. Precisely because of the many actions you can take, you are confronted with a system of checks rather cumbersome and unintuitive. To undermine the gameplay there are also some small imperfections, the characters are easily planted on low obstacles such as rails, steps or a bucket and controls, sometimes inaccurate, do not help much. When you take a subject you feel that the character to keep it in front of her with outstretched arms, so its transport is quite difficult, since these items tend to get stuck on the elements of the scenario, try to leave an example door with a saddle in hand, all without you discover the factor. This flaw makes its appearance in a bully in the sections on horseback, making the ride anything but easy.
There is also multiplayer, but ultimately recreates the classic mode of other games, like Deathmatch in single or skirmish (which is a Team Death match). Then there is the mode robbery in which a team that personifies the thieves has stolen the treasure and bring it safely, while the other men impersonating law that should prevent it, but in the end is very similar to the way of counter hostage strike. The latest is the “gold rush”, perhaps the only original, where players must collect gold scattered to the map, the player who takes more.
A Fistful of Pixels
Hours someone is wondering, why do a review for a game old? The gold edition of Call of Juarez 2010 PC is a revised version of the old game to update to new driver. In reality there should be a patch named “Enhancement Patch” which does everything, but for some strange reason is not compatible with the Italian version of the game. However no more talk, let’s talk about graphics, real strength of the older version of the game. The work performed by Techland was excellent in some respects. A word of praise goes to the environments which manage to perfectly capture the atmosphere of the old west, including deserts, valleys, ranches and villages. Good management also blur effects and lighting. The textures are very sharp and return a remarkable sense of depth. But you notice that everything is based on an engine four years old, the characters, while having a discreet detail, tend to be stiff and movements awkward and a bit ‘repetitive. Environments also show a little ’side when the wind past a scenic element, giving the effect wallpaper. Physics is good, but this tends to have some little defect, if located, for example, a box incorrectly, it will not fall, but will begin to rotate on itself until you reach the idle state.
Even the sound is controversial, to say nothing about the effects of firearms, really good, the music gets along without infamy and without praise, resulting at times a bit ‘anonymous. Good dubbing of the main characters, the voices of two actors are really inspired, especially in the monologues proposed during loading (really long). Unfortunately you lose some ‘quality when you switch to secondary characters, who tend to have almost all the same voice, not to mention that the enemies tend to have encountered a small sample of spoken sentences.

Video Game Review Call of Juarez: GOLD EDITION
Final Remarks
Of good ideas, this Call of Juarez Pc 2010, it had been proposed many, but not all have been developed successfully. Play two different characters can live the story from two viewpoints, but the complexity of controls, the hotel corridors at many levels, and defects of gameplay tend to ruin a little ‘game experience also because a certain repetitiveness. The strength of Call of Juarez is the graphics, Techland wanted to surprise us with special effects and they did it, aesthetics, quirks aside, is above average. Unfortunately, the sound is not treated as the visual system. Speaking Finally, longevity, the single player is longer than reasonable for a shooter of course, but hardly a player will be induced to play again once finished. Even the multiplayer offers a particularly classical; this will tend to discourage those looking for something “special”. Recommended for fans of westerns, partly because there are few comparable securities, but also to those who are willing to turn a blind eye above the defects. Only these will be able to fully enjoy a game that can entertain no particular claims.

Honor, justice, lead, and dynamite. The Wild West arrives at gunpoint.
The Curse of Montezuma’s gold has come down to Hope. An unfortunate young man who returns to his hometown, is accused of murder and forced to escape to the mountains, while being chased by a reverend who is convinced that God has chosen as an instrument of justice. You want revenge, the other freedom, but both have the same fate. Do you hear the call of Juarez? Quick Draw!
Almost a year after its passage through PC, Xbox 360 reaches a revised version of Call of Juarez, a FPS with elements of other genres such as puzzle or interaction with the environment, and the legend of Montezuma’s gold background. Shoot, hide, fire, ride, think, solve, all this and more in this venture by the West never been more real.
The legend of Montezuma’s gold
The legend of lost gold of Montezuma, emperor of the Aztec city of Tenochtitlan - the present city of Mexico - is written in history with the death of thousands of Spanish and Aztec warriors. Hernan Cortes, one of the Spanish who sailed to America, arrived in Tenochtitlan on November 8, 1519, and was treated like a god by Moctezuma, housing them in the palace of her father Axayacatl days after discovering the hidden treasure that had been collecting it as a tribute from one city Aztecs.
Fighting on horseback, beat us in mourning, or simply steal trains dedicate to walk at gunpoint, having fun at the expense of bandits and petty thieves. An interesting effect is that of fun to shoot two guns at once, one at each trigger command from the console.
Fighting on horseback, beat us in mourning, or simply steal trains dedicate to walk at gunpoint, having fun at the expense of bandits and petty thieves. An interesting effect is that of fun to shoot two guns at once, one at each trigger command from the console.
Later, when Hernán Cortés Moctezuma made prisoner by the death of some of his men, he said that he paid with part of the treasure. With the flight of the Spanish city of Tenochtitlan in the famous Noche Triste, it is said that nearly 90% of the treasure was lost, but other documents say that he hid near the city of Juarez. Legend has it that the Aztec sun god, Huitzilopochtli, put a curse on the treasure, so that those who seek him go crazy. This insane greed has come to be known as the Call of Juarez.
The good boy and Reverend avenger
There are two players who will control during the game - the good old Billy “Candle” and Reverend Ray McCall - each with different skills and abilities.
The young Billy Candela has a good heart, and after fruitless search so Tenochtitlan Aztec gold, decides to return to Hope to be with the person who cares, his mother, but what is it with the body of she was murdered, and he unfairly accused of this because he was at the scene of the crime, he decides to escape. It is agile, can move silently, and has an excellent aim with the bow.
Only the fastest survive
Cowboys, prosecution, sheriffs, Indians, Mexicans, revolver, rifle, … the universe of the Wild West is based on the latest title from Ubisoft brings us the misery of the brothers McCall. Immerse yourself in a fight to survive tough guys only …

The graphics’re great, the gameplay tmb, the sound is not the best but not bad. It should be noted that the game is linear and very short. there are hardly any side missions in June. History hooks you very much and is well made.
The game is not bad, for a week is good fun

8.5
The game is pretty good, I give him a 8.5. In terms of graphics, very good, except for textures (although for me not so bad). The modeling of the characters is good, except in the hair, at least for me it is very well done, and the animations of the mouth.
The script is not bad, but as mentioned, is very linear.
The atmosphere is good, except in some respects, with significant failures, including the use of arms in the Civil War even invented yet, or the location of Apaches in northern Arizona.
The sound is good and the music too.
It should be noted that there are very few weapons.
Anyway, it’s a good game to pass the summer arrives (if you add the best online), not much more to go kill the bug Dead Red Redemption and other titulazos coming this winter.
Greetings.
Some great graphics, a charismatic actors and a tremendous atmosphere.
Far superior to the first part and improves as you progress in the game. I look forward to a third party.

a game that plays in all aspects, all at the right level and overall quite entertaining, but nothing that will go down in history.
I recommend you start playing on high difficulty. I go to Normal.
Ray with two golden pipes (those of 12 bullets each) bursts.
The six side quests are smelly.
The games have the same difficulty all, always give the webos
Secrets are a potato.

FPS set in the West - and I stress FPS, that has gone all part of Billy’s first game, which was practically all of stealth, platforms and simple puzzles. That is the duality of gameplay / characters faced the first delivery.
Now is an arcade FPS, causalizado, more than ever “Call” with autoapuntado, automatic self-healing, mouse lag - or acceleration, it seems that you are using a PAD, stars that mark the way, hats, etc. golden guys, full of duels autopuntas where the bad guys and kill them later, scripts that prevent you from way back out of the game - giving you as the mission failed - .. hordes of enemies in Call of Duty, more stupid than anything else - some compare them with zombies, thousands of ill to be killed in mob attack you etc, as the COD. You tied to scripts all the time the brother and other events. Improving something with a mod that is to remove the crooshair, so you do not notice if there autoapuntado or not turn red. But even so you are practically immortal.
I see nothing to scratch, except for the ambience. An undemanding game has my not help me or to hang out, or god mode, or in any way, supremely bored me this Call of Duty with pieces that look like recreational or train of the witch. The story if you’ve finished the first game just has an interest, you know what will happen, as only interest in seeing something of the past history of Ray and Billy. On another hand full of topics and cinematic excess, far from the simplicity and strength of the original story. By the way, mint Leone name next to “this” should be punished with the gallows.)
The best, graphics, although the performance so good that you already know as they have to get it, based on lod change the 10 meters ahead of us, distance to the final form of rocks and other:-D. The music I liked, I liked the the first and is reminded that with variations of the themes of the first. The cartoons also have liked me.
In short, if you feel you are in a Western action movie and just looking for action this is the game enjoyable. Coimpletamente according to the analysis and the note. I’ve had in six short hours and can say it’s pretty funny, with a story that fulfills its function in a correct and acceptable gameplay. I was a little disappointed by the end of history but that depends on each one;)
Shalom
The first Call of Juarez was an irregular but pretty good shooter. Each character had his way of doing things and distinct missions were varied.
This 2nd part is a FPS without more, in line with the other Call, the endless scripts.
This game is fun to highlight the gun duels (magnificent), has good graphics and good atmosphere. But there have been two people with the consolización (autoapuntado in a PC game and casualization ¿??¿¿?).
I give a 7 because, apart from hats, self-healing and other consolizaciones, the game entertaining enough to finish it (although all already know the end at the very beginning).
Shalom

The game is so fun, action streams, 100% western atmosphere reminiscent of the films of Sergio Leone, a dash and yet simple story that gives the size with graphics are fun and very very good and well optimized. The game is on rails but this is not a downside for those who want to enjoy a western fps without too many complications. The AI is sufficient for the aim and the enemies change of position, cover, and flank times. I’ve noticed that no differences in the COD4 for example. The rocks are not created on the fly, perhaps depends on the level chart that you have it …. since I do not spend at least. You can play the maximum with a midrange card.
For me it has been a pleasant surprise
The best:
“The plot of a good Western movie .. points is very wild, very hard expressions and dialogues.
“The graphics and lighting effects and shadows
“The feeling that you’re a true gunman, and enjoy being the hardest to duels in the sun.
“A cover system that I had not tested yet in any game, and I’m sure everyone at some point in the FPS we’d miss, because it yourself with the mouse controlling you head out slowly.
“The brother can change at each stage of the game, makes it very replayable.
The worst:
“A” light “assistsin point when the enemies … ofcourse Consoleros out for the player, but on pc spare.
“Certain funds decorated reminiscent of bad movies before the West and some maps without freedom.
“Very easy
“A little repetitive, especially games.
This game is without doubt one of the five best games in a pretty poor first half of 2009 (the others being undoubtedly Cryostasis, Dark sector, mirrors edge and prototype).
The story even though it is certainly something necessary to adapt a vivid representation of a good western movie, which at the end of the day is all it purports to be. Well armed and carried on a good job of the actors and dialogues. : O
Special mention to the graphics engine to use, excellent graphics requirements in exchange for a really low, all you would have to claim is the serious problem that causes stones popping magically appear in front of your horse when you go to all speed, but I guess that is the price to pay. I really hope that more studies to use in low-end games they want to have next gen graphics in a not so next gen machine.
The downside of the game as I said in the title is the length of the single player campaign, 6 hours on normal difficulty? please! no mamen! I think that the studios have to understand that there are few games that your multiplayer will be played for months or years after completion of the individual campaign and let’s face it this game is not COD4, GOW, Raimbow6 las vegas 2 or GTAIV …. the multi in this game does not justify the poor individual campaign. >: -
Even so are 6 excellent hours and why they take a minimum 8!
It is a game ke note modest, it has great resources and can not compete against big as cod, but I have a marble additive, plus a historia d very good, with Jiros d gion, ke although they are somewhat predictable, accen remember ke not only live a juego.La online d d paste are all about dfectos graphics, not too noticeable, but rather the result ke blur, plus gfran d have a problem as the frozen image d d control points, rather annoying
A notice is ke ke probklema game too its stilo d repeated game, acia the end, if Vienna offers a variety of missions, a great atmosphere, is somewhat hampered by the echo d ke all is shots and more shots, and do not say is boring ke at all, is very, mjy good and fun, but yegas to feel redundant when you repeat any chapter with any character d
Dl online no major complications, uses a slightly dull d points, you have no ranks and that you can spend ke ace co d the time, but their way west dl d legends game is additive, complete, and secure ke repeated at play
In short, a game with dfectos, of course, but with large doses d action, a good istoria, aciendo d on a good article, so d simple, you can enjoy ke greatly regret the little juice just dl online, and this will ke ace losing points at a time when the online is almost essential, but unless ke biggest problems, ara spend good times
Its Realy good
