Review: Call of Juarez Gunslinger (This Is My Joystick)

After the series unsuccessful expedition into modern times with Call of Juarez: The Cartel, the Call of Juarez series is proudly stepping back into its rightful, spur-clad boots. Out with the shitty, gritty city that people mainly pity. Back to the best, blessed Wild West that people dont detest, someone at Techland probably said once, in a board meeting. The po-faced goings on of its predecessor went hand in hand with the aesthetic blandness of the art direction and the deeply unlikeable, soulless characters. In this iteration, however, things are different; everything is done with its tongue hanging flaccid out the side of its mouth. There is vibrant colour and interesting scenery all around the player, and the characters are all hilariously exaggerated. The game acts as another shining example of a studio testing the waters with a smaller scale, downloadable title; and, just like with Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon, Ubisoft have delivered the digital goods once more.
