Ray is the brute force dual gun slinging McCall that likes it close and bloody. Thomas is designed as the long range, stealthier and nimble brother who carries knives and a bow for quiet kills. Thomas and Ray act a little bit like Billy and Ray from the first game. Bound in Blood offers a great story, memorable characters in a series of fun missions. The differences between them are not dramatic but the additional choice is nice and perhaps offers a bit of extra variety for those wanting to play through the some of the missions again.

The two McCall brothers are both playable characters and unlike the sequel the player can select either before the mission starts for most of the game. This time around you have the recharging health mechanic that serves to keep the action flowing quickly. There is far less stealth sections in this prequel however, some may certainly prefer it that way. Most of the gameplay elements from the original remains including the chase scenes, the pistol duels and mad gun slinging of the west. The Bound in Blood tale takes place in the civil war front lines in the 1860s and also sees the McCalls travelling to Arkansas and Mexico in search of the lost treasure of Juarez. Ray returns in this prequel alongside his brother who makes up two of the three McCall brothers.

Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood is the prequel to the 2006 western shooter and it features gameplay split between the two McCall brothers, Ray and Thomas.
