Looks unpolished to the point of hideousness; Mediocre voice acting and terrible combat banter; Wastes great ideas on a mediocre-at-best shooter

After successfully elevating the Call of Juarez name with 2009's Bound in Blood, the developers at Techland have taken a hard left turn, swapping stagecoaches for SUVs and a present-day drug war.
