Okay - By: Kat, 06 Sep 2010 
This game is Okay on single player, however i found the multiplayer rather boring & repetitive. It's not like GTAin a sense that on xbox 360 anyway... If there is someonein a game with Strict or Moderate NAT, another person who comes into the game kicks them out & so on. So if you have Strict or Moderate NAT, then it would be very diffcult to have an online match, unless it was private. Fully enjoyed the single player though.
Red Dead is brill - siggi moran - By: S. Gall, 05 Sep 2010 
New game for me & seems to be excellent with lots to do - from hunting animals to gang shootouts & herding cattle to saving people. Too much to write of actually.
Graphics are awesome, riding a horse is so realistic. Weather & time changes make it really good.
Shooting is a tad easy as have lock on & dead eye modes but if you wish to make it harder don't use them.
I like the gambling as well when needing a break from all the main/side missions.
Don't have a problem with the game at all, exceptin the Multi Player mode & thats more the people who go online rather than the game, tho Rockstar should have seen that coming actually.
The problem is that going on as a complete novice, people just sit & wait around & shoot you as soon as you appearin a town. So you get nothing done & can't seem to mix with anyone either - its siggi no mates!
With friends it may be that Multi Player would be better but very hard for a single.
The single player version is so good & vast I won't miss the multi player too much
People speak about being same as Vice City - have played this & it may be similar style but really so different game locations that not fair to compare them.
I'd recommend this
red dead - By: dec, 05 Sep 2010 
red dead is a class game at first but after about 3 weeks it just gets boring, i mean don't get me wrong its a great game & i don't regret buying it but im just saying it will get boring after a while
Hmm, it's not exactly what I expected - By: K. King, 04 Sep 2010 I'll start by saying I have not got very far into the game yet, I've maybe played 3 hours so far. This is a review of my game experience so far.
I was (unlike a lot of other people) extremely UNDERwhelmed by the graphics. The last two games I played were Splinter cell conviction, & Assassins creed 2, both incredible graphically, so RDR was a bit of a step down.
But I was willing to overlook this, as I reasoned that because the 'world' of RDR is so big it would be difficult for them to make every perfect.
It does get a bit irritating when your horse gets 'stuck' on a piece of juddering pixels that can't decide if they are a rock or a bush.
I too, found it very irritating that great chasms open up sometimes, & sometimes your horse is stuck on the rim of it, & sometimes the horse falls down it.
Dyingin water is quite annoying too.
I also don't really GET what's happening story-wise. I don't know if I've missed a cut scene or what but as far as I know, I went to see Bill on the train, got shot now I do random good deeds for people........I can't really see the point of the game yet.
In the effort to provide you with lots to do, they've lost the main plotline.
Some of the mini-missions are HORRENDOUSLY dull, like cattle herding, or going from A to B whilst listening to PIXELS waffle on for AGES about a load of crap that is pointless.
Understanding the hundreds of icons on the map that mean a myriad of different things is difficult.
The auto-target is very annoying when trying to shoot a nearby deer, & have yourself accidentally shooting a guy who is BEHIND you! But without the auto target, trying to shoot the baddies that appear from nowhere on horseback is impossible.
These little foibles might possibly get less irritating as I progress through the game, I certainly hope so.
The poker is a lot of fun :) The hunting for deer etc is fun, shooting people is fun (although how to capture fugitives without killing them is far too difficult!)
This game reminds me a lot of the other rockstar production, Bully.
If you approach this game expecting a giant sandbox then you won't be disappointed.
But don't expect a slick storyline, expect a little repetiveness.
Red Dead, Drop Dead Gorgeous - By: Bava, 01 Sep 2010 Wow.. What a game, Epic beyond anything I have played previously. Its GTA & then some. I would recommend this game to anyone. The single player missions will keep you entertained for a long long time & the multi player is equally as fun.
