Call of Juarez: The Cartel

Get the Hell out of Dodge

The other Call of Juarez games were actually fun to play in comparison to this modern take of the game. There are a couple of instances that throw back to the westerns from this series in the form of revisiting dilapidated settings of the fort and a ghost town. The game has a familiarity to the first two games, but it is otherwise awful in many respects. Concentration mode is nothing like I remember it from the older games and pointless. You barely need it to finish any of the play throughs even on the hardest setting. The story and dialog have been overly peppered with curse words that it just screams bad writing. You will have to sit through this game three times to complete it. The graphics were adequate, but some of the cinematic were poorly done. The eyes of the head mucky muck at the end of the game are just so odd it looks comical. There is nothing memorable about this game other then that it is just bad. Considering that they have also shut down servers on this game that would be another reason to just avoid it.

  • Before it arrived on the Xbox 360 in 2007, Carcassonne was first created as a board game in the year of our Lord 2000. Interestingly enough the board game was named after a real fortified city that sits on a hill in the south of France and it shares the same name as the games. 1755048507319226772 All three have a commonality that says it’s the Middle Ages.
