CALL OF JUAREZ WALKTHROUGH STRATEGY VIDEO GAME GUIDE (PC PS3 XBOX 360) The Western genre has yet to really have a breakout game that goes above and beyond. You have to give Polish developer Techland credit because they really tried with Call of Juarez. There are some interesting design and gameplay choices that make the game a bit more fun than it has a right to be. Ultimately the execution is a bit bland and no amount of clichιs or whores in compromising situations can rectify the few problems that prevent CoJ's ascension to greatness. The world of Juarez is seen through the eyes of Europeans looking at America's past, and like Spaghetti Westerns is a highly stylized view of life in the Old West. Seriously, you use a Bible as a weapon. How frickin' cool and American is that? In Call of Juarez you don't play as a single lead character. In a brilliant design choice Techland has you playing the young Billy Candle as well as the man chasing him down, Reverend Ray. Billy has returned home after a failed attempt at finding the lost gold of Juarez, which you may remember from Global Studies as the cash the Aztecs paid Cortez to free Montezuma. After his unsuccessful search for gold Billy arrives home to find his hooker friend ready to help a tired boy out. Oh, and his mother and abusive stepfather have been murdered. Always the troublemaker Billy runs because he knows no one will believe he's innocent.
