EL33TONLINE: News tag archive: callofjuarezthecartel
The latest entry in the Call of Juarez franchise, The Cartel, is a sequel in name only, and feels like two steps back for the series. First of all, it is not set in the Wild West - the biggest draw card for the original. Secondly, it has none of the charm and flair the other games in the series have. No, this game is strictly a shooter with drugs and loads of swearing to try and pull it into the modern era, but it doesn’t succeed.

Zumba Fitness is seemingly unstoppable and has so far remained at the top of Chart Track’s UK Software Sales listing for seven weeks in a row, racking up a total of ten weeks at No. 1 since its release earlier this year!
Zumba Fitness continued to enjoy the current lull in videogame releases this past week as the fitness title once again topped Chart Track’s UK Software Sales listing ahead of new releases Call of Juarez: The Cartel and Cars 2.
It’s the weekend p33ps and we’ve collected together a bucket-load of ideas of what the El33tonline team will be up to for the next two days. As usual it’s a diverse list, ranging from zombie slaying to ‘sploding and even measuring brain age!
If you’re looking for a mature, Western-themed first-person shooter for your collection then Call of Juarez: The Cartel is a title you may want to consider.
It’s Red Dead Redemption meets Call of Duty with guns, grit, explosions and set-pieces aplenty. You play as one of three crooked law enforcement agents in crime-infested versions of modern-day Los Angeles and Mexico.
Ubisoft has revealed details of its line-up for this year’s E3.
Since E3 marks the start of the publisher’s 25th anniversary celebration, Ubisoft promises to “deliver its strongest and most diverse brand portfolio to date, with titles spanning all major genres and platforms, including a variety of action adventure and shooter titles, fitness games, online titles and casual games to play with the family.”
This line-up includes explosive HD titles such as Assassin’s Creed Revelations, Call of Juarez: The Cartel, Driver San Francisco, Rayman Origins and Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Future Soldier.
Up until now, and since the game’s official announcement, I’ve been trying to think about how the Wild West gun-slinging action and story of the previous Call of Juarez games would successfully make the transition to a modern-day setting in the upcoming Call of Juarez: The Cartel.
This latest trailer for the first-person shooter/melee game provides the answer. How has developer Techland approached the challenge? Make it raw. And (more) awesome:
It was only a little less than a month ago that Ubisoft and Techland announced the third entry to the fan-favourite Call of Juarez franchise in the form of Call of Juarez: The Cartel – a game that would take the first-person action of the previous games from the ‘Old Wild West’ into the ‘New Wild West,’ and present-day Los Angeles.
Now the publisher/developer pair have released a debut trailer for The Cartel, and it sounds incredibly stylish, with a very interesting premise for a game. Catch it:
Ubisoft has today announced a third entry to the cult-classic Western series of first-person shooters, Call of Juarez, but instead of taking place in the ‘Old West,’ this new shooter will be set in modern-day North America.
Entitled Call of Juarez: The Cartel, players of the game will begin their journey in the streets of present-day Los Angeles and by the end of the adventure will find their way to Juarez, Mexico.
