FPS Rantings

Call of Juarez

by Matt on January 20th, 2006

Interesting. That’s now two games we’ve had come out recently that deal with the West. It’s better than the stale WWII setting. The first game that came out was Gun. This was a 3rd person western shooter, so naturally it was quite unworthy of being posted here. Now we have Call of Juarez. This one looks to put you in the first person perspective and well, that changes everything. I watched one of the trailers where they lit things on fire. That was neat. Not only did the fire spread, it also looked quite realistic. I’m not sure how far the fire would go if you just let it be (he douses it with water in the trailer) but it would be kind of interesting to watch the house you were in burn down and thus kill you and everyone inside. Hehe.

Ahem

Now, frankly I don’t know how good Gun was, or if it was any good at all, and I don’t know how this one will be reacted to here in the states. (It’s a Polish game! Like Poland. Not like shiny shoes) I think it’ll garner some interest just because it’s something different. We haven’t seen western themed games in a while. It’s been sci-fi or WWII for the most part. Growing up in Arizona I think it’s kind of neat to see these games come out and to explore the kind of history that my home state has.
