Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood is the best next-gen western first person shooter probably because it is one of the only next-gen western first person shooters. The game's campaign starts off in the civil war and follows the story of Three brothers who abandon their duties in the war for the sake of their family. Two years later they try to seek a legendary gold while being chased by a vengeful General. You get to choose from Two of the three brothers since the other is a non-violent priest. Both brothers have different abilities, weaknesses, and strengths. The campaign is straightforward and fairly short but enjoyable. There is also two missions that allow you to free roam and complete side quests. My first problem with the game comes in with the weapons. The game has cartridge converted revolvers in the civil war and guns that haven't even been invented until 15 to 20 years after. Just about every weapon in the game is historically inaccurate. My other problem is that the multiplayer is unbalanced. The multiplayer is fun until someone wants to spoil it by using a weapon that cannot be competed with. The veteran class for instance abolishes the use of the sniper classes by a land slide. If they had focused a little more on balancing the weapons the multiplayer would have been excellent and definitely a more enjoyable experience than it already is. The price is probably low by now so I would definitely recommend picking this one up for any platform.
