Call of Juarez screenshots and info

We’re sure a lot of the guys have dreamt of becoming cowboys and gunslingers when they were young. For some of you who haven’t quite gotten over it yet, here’s a quick sneak peek at a Wild West video game title for the PC and Xbox 360, Call of Juarez.

The story revolves on two gunslingers, Billy Candle and Reverend Ray McCall. Billy gets wrongfully accused of murder and the reverend pursues him thinking for his brand of justice. Each character has his own style of gameplay and of course, different stories in Single player mode. Call of Juarez is a first person shooter (FPS) set in South Texas in the year 1882 when the west was wild with gun fights, noon duels, train and bank stick ups, and everything else the wild Wild West has to offer.

The long list of other features include:

• Detailed Wild West reality – distinctive characters, environments and life-like authentic weaponry, including colts, rifles, whips and bows.
• Professional dubbing with real dialects from the Wild West era by real Native American and Mexican actors.
• Photorealistic picturesque sceneries of the US & Mexico borderland.
• Fight your way through the Wild West, birthplace of the term “shooter”, and see the world through the eyes of the hunter and the hunted.
• Two unique characters with exclusive personalities and combat techniques. Ray is a retired gunslinger turned rough-and-tumble preacher. Billy, a sneaky and elusive man befriended and trained by Native Americans who is on the run.
• Game play influenced by weather conditions and physical occurrences – for the first time ever, fire, wind and water become an integral element of the game. Put out fires with water or use kerosene to set objects ablaze.
• Omnipresent interaction with environment interactivity – characters can displace, carry and throw any objects found in-game, and use them as weapons.
• Striking horseback riding simulation in the picturesque Wild West setting.
