Call of Juarez


Published by Ubisoft Entertainment GmbH
Developed by Techland
Released 2006
Genre Action

Description :

Ray McCall was once a fearsome gunslinger. Twenty years ago, he decided to put his guns away and take up the bible instead, becoming a reverend in a town called Hope. All is good until one day, Ray's brother and wife are brutally murdered and their farm burned down to the ground. As Ray arrives at the crime scene, he sees a well-known Indian called Billy fleeing and becomes suspicious. Swearing vengeance for the death of his brother, Ray is unable to be calmed down by the townspeople. Bidding farewell to the life of a reverend, Ray once again takes out his guns and begins his hunt for his brother's killer.

In Call of Juarez, players take the role of Ray, who will shoot first and ask questions later. He uses different kinds of revolvers which are the only weapons in the game, with which Ray can enter the quick draw mode. In this mode, the two cross-hairs of the weapons slow move from the side of the screen to the middle much like a "bullet time" mode. Ray also access to the standard wild west equipment like the Winchester rifle or the sawed-off shotgun. Since Ray is a man of God, he can also read from the bible. This stuns the enemies for a short while.

Billy's weapons are instead stealth and his horsewhip. Since he's on the run and doesn't want to be found, he needs to avoid the people in his way or kill them silent. But if he needs to, he can handle a gun too.

On your quest, Ray will witness and take part in all typical wild west situations like a stagecoach-robbery or a duel. And like in Gun players can ride and fight on the back of a horse, anytime you like.

And if you've enough of Ray and Billy, there is online play against up to 31 other people in different modes. From deathmatch and team deathmatch to modes like "gold-fever" in which players pick up as much gold as they can find on the map.

Hint: Secret weapon:
In the episode which you are Ray chasing the train that Billy jumped on, there is a secret weapon to be found. They are called Prime Rangers, and are two powerful and equally beautiful pistols which do not rust or wear during the level. In order to find these weapons, you must search the train cars as you pass them by. If you look carefully, you will find them. There is a chest hidden behind a stack of boxes on one of these cars. If you jump over the stack and open the chest, you will see the two long beautiful pistols underneath you. Pick them up and shoot up all the cattle rustlers and hombres as desired.
