Just finished Call of Juarez.

Man was it short. At least it seemed pretty short to me. I ran it under DX 10 and it didn't look half bad. I thought the depth of field effect was awesome, very realistic. Probably one of the best, actually. It would actually adjust depending on what you were focusing on, it looked good.

I also liked the physics and effects of gun shots. When in the concentration mode, you could see the bullets impact the people and it looked very real. Their bodies reacted perfectly and you could see the bullet holes and everything. I liked shooting people with the arrows and just watch it slowly penetrate their skull.

Is it just me or does it seem like they've toned down the gore and blood (bullet holes in peoples bodies) quite a bit lately? FarCry and this game both allowed bullet holes to be seen in peoples bodies when you shot them, adding to the realism. With current games, you just don't see that anymore.

Ya i thought it was pretty cool till i whipped a horse and its like "we dont condone the hurting of animals" and it restarts at last saved checkpoint, i was like lame....and stopped playing lol

As for the no bullett holes and gore thats probally cause these guys are some weird anti violence game company or something

You think that game was short? I just beat the single player in CoD4 on Hardened today....it only took me 3 hours.

Yeah I wish CoD4 was longer too...excellent game nonetheless.

i may have to try out CoJ....

Akubane · 02-07-2008, 08:25 AM

hm I should try CoJ then, didn't want to bother before because it didn't catch my interest. But i'm runnign out of games to play lol.

Overall it wasn't too bad. It's kind of neat how you get to play two different roles without it feeling like it repeats itself too much. Basically you start out as a kid accused of murdering his parents. So he starts running away because he's going to be killed by his step-fathers brother, Ray. So you play the part of the kid running all while acting very stealthy when playing this role. You also get to play the role of the guy chasing him, getting to be a bad *** gun slinger, killing everyone in your way.

I've had this game for a while and haven't got to it yet. It got great reviews and looks pretty killer. So you recommend it then?

I have this on my e-bay watch list...I will snag it when the price is right...the screenshots look awsome.
