    Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood

    First off, let me say I HATED CoJ1.

    That being said, I'm about an hour in so far, and I cannot give enough praises for this game. Gameplay is extremely smooth, the cover system is virtually seamless, CoD-esque environments and action sequences. Story and voice acting is actually half decent, not to mention the incredible graphics.

    If you're looking for a good shooter that isn't another rehash of WWII or something sci-fi, this is definitely worth a shot (no pun intended).

    I saw this an article in my local paper about this game just because Juarez is our neighboring city. I work less than a mile away from Juarez

    Yes, the graphics are absolutely stunning. There were a couple times I wanted to screenshot what I was seeing because, I kid you not, with the game maxed out it looks real.

    Just finished it yesterday, game is indeed amazing. I thought it was a bit short though.

    This game would have been perfect for Co-op play.

    Just finished it (5h47m): definitely worth a play for those looking for something to tide them over until MW2.

    Here's an example of the in-game detail and graphics (bad environment I know but I spontaneously had the idea of taking an in-game screenshot and this just happened to be where I was at the time):

    Fantastic lookin' game, even on the 360.

    Game play is nice, I really like the idea of having to be conservative with bullets and counting your ammo. I'm probably not all the way through, but I spent a good chunk of the day playing through it, and I gotta say it was an enjoyable experience!

    It's a weird one that there isn't any Co-op play in the game, Gametrailers mention this also, that there are many points in the game where it seems obvious that 2 player co-op was probably meant to be added. Particularly sections where the two characters split up and go it alone for a while. I can only imagine that they wanted to include it, but time restraints got in the way or something, because it would have made a great game a perfect game in my mind.

    Just finished it. This was the first single-player game in like 1½ year that's kept me interested long enough to go through the whole thing. And damn it looks good.

    Played some LAN-matches, and it's only okay in multiplayer, imo. Just feels a bit strange.

    Enjoyed this game. Didn't think the graphics were TOO amazing. I preferred Ray over Thomas. Annoyed that you have to unlock Very Hard, but tempted because Hard had a few parts that were difficult.

    Also this game has some fine soundtracks. A few keepers.

    The game's $34.97 now on Amazon, that was a quick price drop.
