The 3rd game in the Juarez series but this time the developer Techland has set that game in modern times l.A./Mexico as opposed to the wild west of the previous two.I thought the previous game "Bound In Blood" was the best fps set in the wild west so i was looking forward to see what they would do here.I enjoyed the story and the level settings-what other fps lets you have shoot outs in south central la hoods?Gameplay wise i like this game however the game pauses very slighty and sound cuts out for half a second regularly-really this should not have been allowed to be a finished product and there was no day 1 patch as most games these days get either.Just because i had so much fun with it imoverlooking that,but i can see many people would not be so forgiving.Graphics wise they are not amazing but i think they are decent and as i mentioned i love the level settings-i play every fps so im looking for situations i have not experienced before.Sound wise the voice acting is good but the sound effects are a little strange-like you will hit objects with an uzi and it makes the sound of an old six shooter echoing(i guess they didnt update the stored sound effects from the wild west games lol)and the choice of western music throughout in a modern setting for me doesnt fit well.The modern music you do hear is awful mexican gangsta rap.You can play the whole campaign in 3 player online co op which worked well for me-it throws in challenges here too which involve competing for the most headshots or accuracy ect.It also has a small side story for each character that means you can earn points for keeping your eye on them and catching them stealing money or performing hidden agendas.Adds to the fun.The multiplayer has a cops v gangbangers set up-you can play either team deathmatch or a variety of mission based gameplay-they all have exciting names like organ donor,convict transport,crooked sherrif but basically are all just attack and defend modes and play out very similar-but they are a lot of fun.This game got poor reviews and i havent read them to find out exactly what they found negative about it but i will compare it to other games-overall as a product it is no worse than homefront(people got sucked into the hype and that sold 2.5million).To me a garbage shooter is conflict denied ops or rogue warrior-this game is nowhere near that level.Overall my favourite game for FUN this year

'The Cartel' was described by the developers as a classic arcade style shooter inspired by classic action films.And that is EXACTLY what you get here.The gameplay is fast-paced and linear, which is characteristic of arcade style shooters.You get a storyline that's not unlike what you would find in a classic cop-action film with Willis, Stallone or Seagal.The inspiration from these films is also reflected in the gameplay, what you do and how you do it reminds you of them.So the game actually delivers what it promises: arcade gameplay with classic action-film elements.In this game you choose one of three characters to play as for the entirety of the campaign (one playthrough).What makes thisinteresting is that each character has:* a special ability such as a slow-mo effect* a weapons specialization - Ben has close-ranged, Kimberly long-ranged and Eddie medium-ranged* special side-tasks within each mission* a separate background story only fully revealed when played as that character* a different tactical approach during combat - fx Ben is expected to get close to the enemy while the others cover himThere are also two different game endings depending on your choice.So there is significant replay value here, not only in getting a different ending but also in how you experience the game.The replay value of an action game often lies in being able to do things differently during combat.In this game you get plenty of different options.'The Cartel' delivered exactly what I expected, I don't know what weird expectations all the negative critics conjured up.Maybe I'm simply more rational and intelligent than all these people, it certainly seems so from my perspective.

Not biased by the previous games as I'd never played them so I went in with two friends purely looking for a change from Left 4 dead and Borderlands. It certainly did that. We got a good few evenings out of it shooting things together and it worked pretty much flawlessly.Now the game did require a little DRM in the for of Ubi Gamer or whatever it's called. The game is also heavily on rails and sometimes is little more than a fancy Virtua Cop. And worst of all the game encourages you to back stab and betray your team mates rather than working together cooperatively. All these are amazingly irritating and big negatives but still as a co-op game, since it works, you can make things dead and such a combo is pretty rare on a pc...it's bloody great. Overcoming the negatives easily.After all one of my pals always gets lost on the rails he can't, DRM is getting less and less avoidable anyway an you do get to co-operate when it really matter, the killings.Hell it even has a good story to follow.Best of all no bloody experience points. Win!Buy it now it's on the cheapo if you're a co-op gamer, you won't regret it.

I have completed the story using all three different characters, and can honestly say it was really good. I have never written an Amazon review before, but I felt this game was getting far too many negatives that I had to tell you my opinion. It is not perfect i'll admit, but out of the three in the series it is definitely my favourite, and I really cannot understand why so many people are against it. The story itself is entertaining, and will definitely keep you occupied for hours. The story is the same for each character, however as you play with the different characters you will find they all have their own agendas, i'll let you find out what...Red Dead Redemption might have set the bar for Westerns now,but this is different, and Ubisoft have done a good job of putting an Old West style game into the twentieth century. I would therefore say that this game is definitely worth getting, and even more so when it is available on Amazon for less than £10! So please don't let other people influence your decision, buy a copy now and decide for yourself!

Firstly this game is set in the modern west so the bad guys are not gunslingers and train robbers, they are drug and sex traffickers so this is a game for adults.The graphhics are good apart from the characters faces and the voice acting is over the top but in a game like this I don't think that is inappropriate.You will get lots of advice from your partners on when to run, shoot, take cover etc. and they will also make comments like " Try aiming" and Where did you learn to shoot that thing" which can become annoying after a while but they will praise you when you get a good shot.There are lots of weapons, some crazy driving,massive explosions and shootouts so if you are an FPS fan and approach this game with an open mind there is a lot of fun to be had.

Now i bought this game hesitantly after a couple of friends and i were look for co-op games and one happened to own it, saying it was a great game. Now while most other reviews would say otherwise it is such an amazing game to play 3 player co-op in. If you have a co-op partner or two there are collectables scattered in each level and basicly you play good cop bad cop and have to get them while not being spotted while trying to spot your partners as well which always proves fun. The Campaign is fairly good, but then my expectations weren't to high in the first place. But to sum it up, its an alright single player game but is MUCH MUCH better with two buddy's!

People are moaning about the graphics i am very big on the graphics myself and i don't find that there is a problem with them yes they are not the best if your going to compare them to top selling games such as MW3 and other games like that. The story has a number of different twists and turns which has different result depending on the actions you make. So in all it really isn't that bad but after playing the game fully 5 times it does become boring.

i have rated this game 4 stars because the gameplay is fun and exciting but the story drags on a little. i lost interest half way through and started skipping the scenes which is something i never do.I think if you have played the previous two you should definately buy this even though the story line does not follow from the last story.overall a good game and needs to be played by more gamers!
