It's not without flaws, but it's a remarkable step up from the predecessor. The story may be a bit shallow, yet its intensity kept me hooked, and I thoroughly enjoyed the tale of brothers painted in guns and blood.

I just finished this surprisingly fun game. It is a story driven Western shooter though it is so much more, a pure joy to play. The controls are weak for a PC game this was my only real complaint. The FOV could have been better, no adjustments or FOV mods. The story, music, voice acting are top shelf I wasn't expecting much, what a surprise. I wouldn't even post this thread but I found the whole game to be something special. If your looking for a fun short romp this one fills that bill in spades. Not for the kiddies the language can be a little harsh at times. Overlook the shortcomings and you could have great fun. Im still grinning and in awe at the production value, what a great game. Just thought I would share my experience with this fun game if anyone is interested.

A lot more fun than the first game. With no forced stealth sections, and the ability to choose your playstyle for each Chapter. You can watch my playthrough here https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLlTZZfL5AQ8rgmzRtsIl8aZVV9F4x9T-D

A Tale of Two Guns and a Frustrating Finale Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood delivers a high-octane Wild West experience that mostly hits its mark—right up until it stumbles into the saloon doors during its final act. Set as a prequel to the original Call of Juarez, Bound in Blood throws you into the boots of the McCall brothers—Ray and Thomas—as they blaze a trail through Civil War-era carnage, gold, lust and brotherly betrayal. For the most part, it’s a solid ride. Gunplay is responsive, the Old West atmosphere is gritty and authentic, and the choice between brothers gives a satisfying layer of replayability. Ray’s brute-force shotgun tactics and Thomas’s precision with a rifle offer a nice contrast that makes each mission feel tailored to your playstyle. Unfortunately, the experience buckles near the finish line. The dueling system, a cool concept on paper, becomes an exercise in frustration in execution. What starts as a stylish, tense standoff mechanic devolves into a chore when the game expects unrealistic mouse movement speeds to pull off. In the final couple of showdowns, it felt like I had to crank my DPI to near ludicrous levels just to draw my weapon fast enough—not exactly the authentic gunslinger fantasy I was promised. But the real outlaw of the game is the Juarez camp mission involving horse wrangling. It’s easily the low point of the entire game. Between infinite enemy spawns and absurd spawn placements—including foes literally appearing on top of you—the mission goes from action-packed to downright aggravating. It disrupts the pacing and makes survival feel more about luck than skill. Visually, Bound in Blood holds up with strong art direction for its time, and the voice acting does a commendable job selling the strained dynamic between the McCall brothers. However, the polish starts to chip when the game puts pressure on its more gimmicky mechanics instead of sticking to its strong core gunfights and atmospheric storytelling. Verdict Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood earns its spurs for most of its runtime, but the poorly executed duels and one disastrously designed mission saddle it with some major baggage. It’s a fun ride through the frontier—just be prepared for a bumpy trail toward the end. 7/10 – Good "A solid Western shooter dragged down by a handful of frustrating design choices."

This is a 15 episode game just as the first one, and is a prequel. It improved a lot from the first game and I mean A LOT. Now isntead of changing between one main character and the other you can choose which one you want to play as, this game follows Ray and his brothers after the civil war, gun game has improved and I think the way to ride a horse has improved as well. I'm at chapter 5 or 6, since you can play as either one of 2 brothers this has good replayability (Kind of because so far they follow the same story line just different paths) When I finish the game I'll leave a score, but so far with the improvement it had is an 8/10 easy. Edit: Yes, its an 8/10, btw, don't get fooled by the posibility of a different ending if you play the last chapter as either of the brothers, there is only 1 ending so play as whoever you want to play the whole game
