Ubisoft Announces Call of Juarez

05 Apr, 2006, 1:05 pm IST | by Avinash Bali | PC

Compared to an over(ab)used World War II genre, the wild and untamed West hasn't been exploited a lot in games. Of the top of my head, I can only think of two games set in the West in the recent past; one was Rockstar's Red Dead Revolver, which should have been shot on sight and the other was Neversoft's Gun, which I thoroughly enjoyed. Even though the game didn't do very well for itself I'm hoping Neversoft do a sequel. Since that isn't happening anytime soon you may want to tame your rednecking urges with Call of Juarez (pronounced Warez), a first person shooter set in the John Wayne era, brought to you courtesy Ubisoft. Call of Juarez (CoJ) will follow the life of Ray, a gunslinger turned preacher and Billy ... a young teenager, who isn't anybody special as they go around doing what they do best, which I assume is killing bad men.
CoJ will allow players to indulge in some classic gunslinging action, including duels, shootout and barroom brawls.
As of now, the title seems to be a PC exclusive and is expected to hit shelves by Summer 2006. Juarez_t.jpg
