But it´s actually a decent game and it gets better and better every single mission. There is a acceptable amount of unfair difficulties, the story evolves pretty good and personally, I like the characters and the setting. The graphics are not appropriate for a 2011 game, the whole environment seems to be dazzling all over the place. The gunplay is alright and there are some cool ideas like the "Team-Cover" system. Another negative aspect: Lots of graphic and script bugs, old dialog repeating after a cutscene, multiple dialogs at the same time and completely disappearing furniture when standing at a certain position in a doorway (nothing game breaking though)No must-buy, but a decent game if you´re ready to forget it´s CoJ name.… Expand

    I was really surprised when I read some of the reviews AFTER I finished the game. It has some flaws but it's a really fun game, one of really few that let you play in co-op. The ONLY ONE that features a good story to be played with 3 characters and what's more it differs for each character. I really had fun playing it with my friends. So the press reviews don't give this game justice imo.I was really surprised when I read some of the reviews AFTER I finished the game.

    Giving this game a 4 or 5 out of ten is just being lazy or incompetent. It's flawed but full of original ideas. Techland will need to work hard to refine them but the potential is there. After beating it solo I played several missions in coop and it's even better that way. If you only play GOTY then I'm sorry for you. Anyone else can safely pick this up and have fun.

I have never played a game like this one before. FPS with 3 coop, deep story, secret quest for each character, slow mo. It's not another call of duty clone. If Ubisoft made a little bit better graphics,put more effort in animations and dialogues, added a cover system it would be a great game. Now it is only a good game, to me 82/100.    … Expand

The secret objectives you can try to accomplish while your partners arnt looking,is a good idea too,though if theres a sequel(& i hope there is)they should make the locations of those items to collect randomly placed.Hopefully they can fix it in this title with a patch.I love the slow motion door entrys too,& fortunately,they're in it quite alot.The campaign is pretty long too,with a good story.& its great to FINALLY get Co-Op in a Call of Juarez game(especially after the last one criminally didnt have it,especially with the two main characters)..I also have to say the complaints of too much bad language in The Cartel are over exagerrated,its no-where near as bad as made out(& thats from someone who doesnt swear).Go in with an open mind,& enjoy this western shooter with a modern spin.An easy 8 for me.… Expand

    The gameplay is good but it really shines in coop. On top of the secret missions you get while playing with AI, there are also challenges. Combined with the game's conspiracy / distrust plot they make the 'work together but compete' idea real.
    Graphics are workable but they could use some improvement, the same goes for animations. I've seen better AI, one more reason to play this with live players.
    Do yourselves a favor and don't discount this game on a gfx glitch or something. It's a cop game with an actual plot and some devious mechanics for each character, with a delicious cooperative mode and what seems to be a cool competitive multiplayer mode (gotta check this one myself when more people buy the game).    … Expand

Every mission you are guided by a white dot on the map to tell you where to go, you can't freeform in driving sections and there are times where you have to take cover from being obliterated. Having stereotypically stupid characters, who seem to fit the bill in this sort of game, only prolongs the sour tastes that Techland have stooped to for this threequel. There are plenty of things to be weary of in the Cartel. Techinical issues including clipping and low rez texturing (the hair on these characters look abominable) and some of the worst looking animation ever encountered- such as the spray tagging animation. Throw in repetitive objectives, repetitive door bashing and room clearing, a power up that only lasts about 15 seconds and the sheer lack of innovative ideas that made predecessor Bound in Blood quite good, has been totally lost here.… Expand

There is a nice armoury of weapons to use and for the first time in the series, the shooting mechanics are spot on. While many will comment that the visuals aren't the best the 360 has to offer, the levels are varied and look pretty cool. The game isn't without its faults, many instances of clipping, "elastic banding" models and some doors that seem to lead to purgatory in the later levels are scattered here and there. On the whole there are some nice gameplay mechanics that set it apart from other FPS games, like the secret agendas and items that need to be collected out of site of your parterners. While the game is enjoyable and in my opinion a solid rental at least, it loses a point due to the lack of final polish. A 6 but a very high 6/10.… Expand

No. The Characters have been turned from badass cowboys to spoiled brats.

The story for this game was a good idea but was not fully realized in terms of actual gameplay from what I've seen so far. The level design has me scratching my head at times and I could not help myself in criticizing some of the decisions that were made. For instance, many of the levels are way too similar, the basic pattern is cut scene, drive, fight, drive. I would have no issue with the fighting except for the fact that the enemy AI is all the same as is the layout of the levels I've seen so far. If you dare wander two feet in the wrong direction at times the game will simply end and you get to start over. Not cool. There are some graphical issues that I would have never imagined seeing with an Ubisoft game including screen tearing and jaggies. I am not one to criticize character dialog most of the time, but I found the same repetitive juvenile language used in every other sentence a bit ridiculous, but then I guess a 12 or 13 yr old would get a kick out of it. I can tell you that if I knew someone that talked like any of these stereotyped characters they would not keep my company for long. It can be agonizing to listen to over and over again. The driving levels need work, the cars feel like you are driving a tank or RV. On a positive note the weapon variety and handling is decent, the aiming will take a while to get used to though. Overall I can't say that I would recommend someone dropping $60 bucks for this. Please take my advice and wait until the price is about half of that.

I just learned today that Dead Island is running on the same engine (Chrome Engine 5) as this POS. I've been looking forward to DI but this has me VERY concerned. This engine is a joke and CoJ and DI are the only two games using it. Based on what I've seen here, it's going to take a miracle for Techland to produce something decent with Dead Island.… Expand

Other than that, this game has literally nothing going for it. Don't waste your money on anything more than a one-night rental for this. I can think of at least 5 games that have already come out this year and at least 5 more that have yet to come out this year that would be better to buy, so unless you're an absolute addict to videogames you're better off leaving The Cartel one alone.

    First off if you are looking for another wild west story don't get the game.
    It is not that it isn't a western, because you can admire the concept of trying to create a gritty western story in a modern day setting and at times this is successful especially within the classic juarez soundtrack and the beat down modern day western settings. But the story itself is at times forced by excessively cliché characters and overuse of profanity beyond the point of meaningful impact and the cars and guns quickly make you lose touch with the western theme playing what is essentially just another FPS.
    The story itself isn't bad and having three playable characters each with different story content does make the game more replay able than other fps which simply let you do the exact same thing again and again.

    The load out screen is good, the mission loading is nice, the multiplayer coop would be good if anybody still played this game. graphics are better than the previous Juarez games and in spite of a lot of naysayers criticizing the shooting it is altogether smoother than the previous instalments (I think it is largely people who cannot handle iron sights and little auto-assist) The game does have glitches I had 3 occasions on which I had to reload chapters because I got stuck or objectives would not complete but the chapters are short enough that it does not feel like a chore getting back to those points.

    All in all this is actually a very entertaining and decent game, still this game probably shouldn't be called call of Juarez. I guess the issue is that all of us who played the previous games wanted another wild west story.    … Expand

    The newest installation of the Call of Juarez franchise brings the series to modern day. Unfortunately this is like taking a shot in the kneecaps. The game can't stand in it's own feet anymore. The game is crowned with some really stupid game design flaws. It was once upon a time in the west, now it's just west. And plain west is not the best. [Sept 2011]

    Call of Juarez has been downgraded and is disappointing in every aspect of gameplay and design.

    A woeful misstep into the pantheon of disposable first-person shooters, and a balsa wood ghost town of a game that no amount of support patching could possibly shore up. [Issue#113, p.96]
