As promised, here are the first 10 minutes of Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood. You're getting used to it, more videos will follow so you will eventually get to see the first two chapters of the game. Update 3: The last two parts are now available.
Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood really is a nice-looking game. Some might bitch about the occasional pop-up or screen tearing - less obvious than in the videos however - but, that aside, it looks pretty impressive. I'll let you see for yourself in the videos but, as for me, I want to say cow-boy hats off to Techland. The game is also very immersive thanks to a great soundtrack and it won't be long until you're completely sucked into it, provided you like that type of atmosphere that is.
In short, if you liked the first game, there's no reason why you shouldn't play this one. The controls are very similar to the first Call of Juarez with a new fury system which is quite fun to use. If you want to know more about our impressions on the game, please read the preview we made a few weeks ago, we haven't changed our mind after playing the retail version.
I had to make some rough editing in the videos sometimes because watching me die isn't particularly fun. The game seems a bit challenging in normal mode but maybe that was just the emotion.

Also, how the heck does this game not have co-op? Seemed like a sure thing given that it's the tale of two brothers (and that, judging from the video, you get the choice of who you want to play as).
The plot was given away in the first game, it's kinda nice in a really hokey way, but now we won't be able to preach at people... and besides that the gameplay is really typical.. I mean it seemed bad like the recently released Damnation to me, and there is no way THAT is getting a sequel, 100% sure because the whole dev team was fired.
What is it with console games and screen tearing of late? Every other game I've seen/played has had it to some degree on the 360... Red Faction Guerilla, Bionic Commando, Resident Evil 5, Ghostbusters, etc., etc. and now Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood looks to the worst of the lot.
Gotta love Gamersyde for their First 10 Minute videos as I've just found out that I won't get the game until Saturday now at the earlier (gee, thanks Amazon!) but these videos at least give me something to watch while I wait. Thanks Gamersyde. :)
