Rockstar is back! - By: Istiaq, 03 Sep 2010 
best western game to date! sooo muhc to dooin the game, & the storyline is just too good!
Brilliant game - By: Blue hunter, 31 Aug 2010 I just wanted to share my opinion of this game,even though many reviews have already been done.Howeverin my opinion this game is just brilliant.I have always liked the GTA series & so with the same people bringing us this game i knew it had to be good & i wasn't disappointed.Massive game & endless places to go to & explore.Some people have mentioned how they got bored or just tired of looking around however if you mix things up & do different things like search around for a while & then do a mission & search & do some side missions then it never gets boring i have found as you are always doing something new.Very enjoyable & a brilliant game overall.Highly recommended.
Red Dead Revelation - By: A. Ingason, 24 Aug 2010 There's lots of praise for this game, & rightly so I say. I had a read of the reviews that didn't get along with it, & it appears that this isn't their type of game. Which is fine.
Really the most important thing to know is this is a free roaming open game world. While there are set missions, & loads of side missions, there's no restricted travel. You can go where ever you like, however you like, for as long as you like. So be prepared to get lostin the mountains, gallop through the plains or just generally explore from time to time. There's plenty to distract you such as hunting missions, rescuing people, stopping people from being hanged to even being horse jacked by people pretending to bein trouble. You can even look at wanted posters then decide to chase down the criminals & receive the bounty, the reward changing depending on the target being dead or alive. The lasso comesin handy here, a great idea for the game, & also opens up the opportunity to catch & tame horses as a job, or even to replace your own.
Talking about the horse, there are many different breeds & colour variations. Each have different speeds & stamina levels. You'll find yourself becoming quite attached, so watch out for wild cougers, they have killed a few of my horses while I've been picking wild flowers to sellin the local stores. The horses may seem a little odd to control at first but it soon becomes second nature. There's nothing more satisfying than galloping headlong into battle & taking banditos down from the mount of your trusty steed.
When shooting you have a feature called Dead Eye. This slows down time & lets you aim more accurately at your targets. You can get more head shots this way, or even shoot weapons out of peoples hands. Should you prefer to capture someone & tie them up this is a good method of injuring an enemy but keeping them alive. It adds an extra element to the game play & makes things a bit more interesting. You have a choice whether to kill or capture.
The main story is brilliantly presented & well acting & plotted. You will spend many, many hours just going through the main story line, which is vast & varied. Sure there is a lot of horse riding, & shooting, but then... this is the Wild West. The character is a flawed ex outlaw going straight, but trouble follows you around & blood ends up being spilled. You can choose to play as a good guy, raising your fame & helping people. Or as a bad guy, stealing, murdering & generally not being very nice which means people will recognise & report you, the 'police' or marshals will hunt you down.
If you enjoyed the Grand Theft Auto games, this is more aimed at you. If you ever wanted to be a cowboy this is probably the closest you'll get. It's not asin face as the GTA series, there's more quality here & everything has been refined to just work well.
I couldn't recommend this enough, it's fun, it's detailed, some missions can be a little repetitive, but there is enough variation to keep this going for a very long time. Mexico does have similar landscape, but much more mountains & detail rock features that make you feel you arein a different area. The characters all dress & look different as well showing care has gone into the locations & cast.
Love it, good game!
RDR - By: Nicolas, 24 Aug 2010 Great product, it is very fun to have a GTA like game taking placein the Wild West. Delivery was fast, the game is awesome, not much flaws. In word a solid 90-95% for the overall grade.
Red Dead Redemption - By: Nigel Geary-Andrews, 22 Aug 2010 This game is absolutely fantastic! I think a lot of people fancy being a cowboyin the Wild West, & this game gives you the perfect opportunity to act this out (without the slightest chance of being hurt too). There is a large area of play, varied missions & incidental tasks (the tasks are not necessary to complete the game, but are to achieve 100% completion). However, you can do as much free-roaming as you like, helping people, hindering people, killing people, robbing people, robbing banks, catching crooks, being a crook. How much fun is all that!? It is a total blast, & I would thoroughly recommend this game to anyone.
