Ah, you know when a game is terrible that the ZP episode is bound to be really funny - as this was.
Middle finger big enough.

OK, That's plenty of middle finger quotes for one day.
Anyway, let's talk about the game. I liked it, it was very, very fun. Of course, it isn't without its problems. Like how yahtzee explained, when ever you want to ride shot-gun and your partners sit in the back having their ipods at full blast while reading a magazine, they are MAKING YOU DRIVE. Also, when ever you are suppose to cover for opposing gangs, the tagging gets repetative very quickly unless you have a partner. Overall, solid game.

This was very funny, but if you can get the game....., PLEASE REVIEW Catherine!!! I don't care if you'll hate it or not I just have to get your reaction on this bizarre game. So please?
Forced co-op has and always will suck. There has yet to be a good force co-op game in single player mode.
While it can be fun just to see how dickish you can be, how on earth can it be "good"?!TheZombieTerrorist said:
Also while I never liked the earlier games in the franchise[footnote]freaking western settnings, what is your fetish with it?[/footnote] I could see why people did, so why did they all of a sudden set The Cartel in 2011???
Wow, you pegged this perfectly Yahtzee. I rented from Redbox this game a week ago, out of sheer morbid curiosity, and it was the biggest waste of 5 hours in my life.
I new it wouldnt be AAA but I expected something half decent at least.
It pissed me off the only way you can progress and get better guns is by doing the whole "dirty cop" angle, which is near impossible to do. I mean if the level starts out with enemies constantly harrassing you and you having to run from place to place how you supposed to find stuff? When I got really pissed is when I figured out you cant take any guns you pick up in a level with you. Mind-numbing stupidity.
Where I gave up was a mission where your supposed to follow a car to their hideout. The car goes into an ally but everytime I drove by pedestrians would get in my way, if I hit one it would be mission restart. Grrr, ok past that part but as soon as I get into the alley I get a call, bout some dumb B- hooked on Ice that i dont feel sorry for at all. That wouldnt be so bad except the phone takes up half the screen and the other half is covered in this sickly green wash.
How am I supposed to maneuver my big ass SUV in a tiny alley with no visibility? YOURE NOT!
The people that made this had no F-ing clue how to make a video game.

I don't know what they were thinking when they brought the series into the modern day. Part of call of juarez's charm was that you had to adapt your typical shooter tactics with the limiting weapons of the old west. Take that away and it just reveals all the imperfections that were easily forgiven in the other games.
