A new game published by Ubisoft.I really love UBI Games.
The polish Developer Techland made a here again great Western Game.

I played in the Past other nice Western Games like Smokin` Guns,GUN or CoJ(1)
But this new Game really is the best Gunslinger Game
and it hi-jack`s you in a very great open Western World.
I much enjoyed the whole SP Campaign.The Levels are all high detailed (1080p) and the Story is like a 10 Hour Hollywood Movie.
The Game is Rated M and that with Reason.You cant see much Blood there but its a brutal Game
and besides of that it uses Bad Language and Sexual Themes.

You have the Choice to play the Game as Ray or Thomas McCall. 2 Brothers and Outlaws.
Each of these 2 Characters have the abillity to use different Weapons
like Dual Wield Pistols,using Dynamite,Knifes,Bow,Lasso or massive Weapons like Canons and Gattling Guns.

Everything what a Western Fan is waiting for is Present here.
Duels, Prison breaks, Bank Robberies,Stagecoach Chases,Mines,Ghost Citys,fights with Native Americans and a Lost Treasure.
What i missed was a Train Robbery Mission. :-(
I loved that you can do sometimes some little Jobs besides of the Main Missions to get more Money to buy better Stuff in the Weapons Shop.

CoJ-BiB is the best Western themed First Person Shooter out now.
If you never played CoJ Part1 thats no Problem
because this Games plays before CoJ1. ;-)

Great Western Feeling.
A variety of pretty cool Weapons.
Western Score
Awesome GFX and Gameplay.
Many great Multiplayer Modes and Maps like the famous Gunfight at OK Corall in Tombstone.

Hm Dunno.
Eventually the Secrets.To find them is way hard.
Think i only found less then 10 of 89. :-(
The Horse“s 1st Person Riding Animation looks a bit stupid.


If you like discuss it.

I've got that game now and played through the first level, and I must admit its a very good game.
Furthermore, its something you've never seen before, I mean we've got a plenty of WWII and Anti-Terror shooters, but this time we find ourselves in the time of the american civil war (the whole game reminds me on 'The Good, the Bad and the Evil', which is my favorite western movie), and although the gameplay isnt that different, the change of setting is very appreciated.

Thanks,negah.Id kowed i could count about a reply from you :-)
What Platfom you playing it?

What i liked is the Concentration Mode.
To kill many Enemys in 1 Sequence is a great new Feature.That i never have had in any other Shooters before.
What i really miss is a Melee Attack.You can use Chairs ok but not your Rifle to knock-out People.

I played some Hours MP which is great.
The Posse ( co-op like Red vs Blue Team) and The Historical Battles Modes are awesome.
All the Standard MP Modes has been pimped to fit in a Wild West Game and they did a awesome Job in it.
Check this Video,if you like

I really love CoJ-BiB.Hope more Members here will play it sometimes.
9,5/10 :-)


Btw.
Isnt it The Good, the Bad and the UGLY ;-)
Its a Mix of many Movies i would say mostly Spaghetti Western based.
But the Duel Parts are 100% ripped out off the US-Movie High Noon (12 Uhr Mittags)

Oh, my bad, watched the movie a while ago. Still you have understood me :D
As for the plattform Im using my rather old PC (always swearing about long loading times :P ).

Concentration mode is pretty cool (and more movielike), but I also liked the way concentration mode was presented in CoJ1, it was harder and you really felt like doing it, not just like giving an order and watching as your pistols will do the whole job for you.
