by Rainier on Jan. 1, 2006 @ 1:30 a.m. PST

Call of Juarez's unique plot is located 19th century Wild West America and requires a combination of both intelligent stealth and pure reflex shooting. Fast paced revolver duels using historically accurate firearms, horseback riding and memorable locations together with top notch graphics and climatic soundtrack will immerse both casual and hardcore players in the attractive well known world of western movies.

Call of Juarez is an epic western adventure FPS about vengeance, survival and sins of the father that are often visited on the son.

South Texas, 1882. Billy Candle has just turned nineteen and he’s determined to find the legendary lost treasure but he stands accused of murder. Hot on his trail is Reverend Ray McCall, an infamous gunfighter who believes that the Lord has chosen him to be Billy’s judge, jury and executioner.

Relive the days of the Wild West, high noon duels, bank robberies and the gold rush. Face professional assassins and legendary gunslingers. Take part in spectacular shootouts and wild horseback chases. Enjoy two unique antagonistic characters in the single player mode, each with his own exclusive combat style and weaponry.

Billy is a rebel and brawler, who accused of murder escapes the judgment. Pastor Ray, ex-gunslinger, abandons his church and promises to inflict justice – with bullets if he has to – on Billy and any other bandits that dare to step in his way. During the game you’ll have to make split-second decisions to successfully elude Ray as Billy, or to hunt down Billy as you play as Ray.
