Call Of Juarez: Bound In Blood - PC Windows (2009) DVD-ROM Ubisoft

Gameplay

Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood uses Techland's Chrome Engine 4. There are four difficulties, Easy, Normal, Hard, and Very Hard, the last being unlocked after the game is completed. According to its creators, it was aimed to make the player's experience as the "best West ever created". The game derives from the spaghetti-western genre. In most chapters the player can select whether to play as either Ray McCall, or his brother Thomas. Ray is more durable and stronger in close quarters combat, can dual wield revolvers, carry a gatling gun and use dynamite. While Thomas is less durable, he is deadlier at long range with a rifle, can use the bow and use the lasso to reach higher places. Sometimes either brother has a different effect on a mission, where the player will run into split paths for each brother, or certain key points where one brother needs to do a certain thing while the other does something different. For example, Thomas might need to cover Ray while the latter plants dynamite on something.

One of the most notable changes from Call of Juarez is the addition of ironsights for rifles, a single revolver or shotguns. Bound in Blood features regenerating health, as opposed to Call of Juarez's traditional health system. Many models from the previous game such as signs, objects, horses, vegetation, and weapons were recycled, as were several sound effects were also reused. It is impossible to harm civilians, as any attacks will not faze them. In Chapters VI and VIII there is free roam, in which the player can take bounties as a hired gun. Out in the wilderness in these chapters the player can find ruined buildings, farms, camps and bandits that can be occupying these. The player may also come across bandits attacking travelers, and it is up to the player's discretion whether or not to intervene.
