Fun, fun game, but shorter then the typical Rockstar, "Grand Theft Auto" game

If you like games like Grand Theft Auto then this game is for you

Rockstar is known for making fantastic open-world games, such as Bully and the highly controversial Grand Theft Auto series

The "Grand Theft Auto" series has worn out it's welcome with me

This game is honestly like a Grand Theft Auto of the Old West

I had fun for about a week playing through the story and free roam

The story is great, and there is just so much free roam stuff to do!

Or you can play the game as a roaming ruthless outlaw, with each version having its own consequences (it's made by the same company that did Grand Theft Auto)

It's basically designed to brainwash young people as they play.

The multiplayer is very good as well theres showdowns and free roam

I have watched bad B-movies with better

The DLC that has been released for the game did a great job adding to it as well.

Red Dead Redemption is not a fun game; however Rockstar's art department did a great job

Rockstar did a great job casting the roles and writing the script

Rockstar really did a great job to think every detail through

It just doesn't do justice to those of us who prefer playing with our friend over killing them.

so its pretty realistic but annoying at the same time if you are trying to figure out the multi-player because some people that have been playing for a long time will just smoother you every time you re-spawn

This game is truly one of the best games i have ever played

No, no, no....Boring game play, bad story line, slow action, tedious "training

It's basically designed to brainwash young people as they play.

The graphics are great, I loved the story, I just loved everything about it

The graphics were great and the story line was interesting

it's hype a great game with beautiful graphics, simply put this game is amazing!

The graphics are great and the ambiance was unique to me

It's basically designed to brainwash young people as they play.

This made for a terrible experience playing a game I grew up loving.

It has some faults and warts, but the overall experience of this game was fantastic and it had a great cinematic quality to it as well

Very few game titles manage to provide an enjoyable experience in both fields

so I'll just say that your in for a great experience with red dead redemption.

If you choose to do this, you will get a lot more out of the game (I think) and have a much better experience

The single player game has a decent storyline and it is fun to play.

The single player setup is a complex, cinematic storyline with all kinds of optional subplots.

Open world, plenty of stuff to do and a great storyline

However, all this might overshadow what lies at the core of the game - an extremely well-produced, gripping, funny and touching storyline with the flair of old westerns and the heart of a good adventure

Great graphics, fun storyline mission and side missions, and cool game play.

It's a long game, has a great story, and lots of memorable characters

It's in these supporting characters that the the story of Red Dead Redemption becomes divisive

A great story, with great graphics, good game play and a lot to do.

The story is riveting and you can really fall in love with the characters in this game

If I could change anything, it would be:- Story is a little twisted.

The multiplayer is very good as well theres showdowns and free roam

Furthermore the multiplayer is well below par for any game and it is very difficult to play in any mode aside from free roam.

Overall this is also a great add-on to the game and totally destroys GTA IV multiplayer

Gameplay - Great variety, great combat, and a great multiplayer mode

This game also offer a lot of different experiences, and multiplayer options that you can enjoy as well.

this game has a great story, awesome graphics with very minor problems, gameplay is great just a great game its a must buy and its only 30 bucks so

The story behind the game is very immersing, and gameplay is very enjoyable

I find myself climbing to a high point and enjoying the view at times, embarrassing as it sounds.

Another great rockstar game great textures and gameplay

I find myself climbing to a high point and enjoying the view at times, embarrassing as it sounds.

Got a lot out of it so fun and the graphics are amazing such a fun open world game.

The Red Dead world is huge, the story interesting, and the choices you make in the game affect everything.

The expansive open world just begs to be explored and explore it you can

The open world is amazing (and I've only completed 18% of the game).....

The saving feature seems misplaced in an open world game like this

the short run-down is that the game plays a canned animation/in-game cinematic where Marston (the main character) pulls out a bowie knife and proceeds to gut and skin

It's basically designed to brainwash young people as they play.

It's basically designed to brainwash young people as they play.

Your character, John Marston, is a reformed outlaw who cannot escape his bloody past

John Marsten will become one of your favorite video game characters

Rockstar has finally broken their patten of over-the-top, offensive to be offensive games, and finally focused their efforts to produce a game that has the most moving story line I have seen this past decade.

Rockstar finally took a break from their classic IP, Grand Theft Auto, to build a Western game like no other

Another great rockstar game great textures and gameplay

I agree with other reviewers that it is the best Rockstar game.

Also, Rockstar fails for making you immediatly glow on the map as soon as you respawn.

Great graphics, fun storyline mission and side missions, and cool game play.

It has so many things you can do, great graphics, awesome side missions, and cool action scenes

You can do side missions (called 'Stranger missions' in the game) that are sometimes sad, sometimes happy, and sometimes downright weird

There are challenges, stranger missions, gang hideouts, and bounties to be captured or killed.

There is so much to do in this game which includes stranger missions, gang hideouts, poker, blackjack, or just helping people on the road

In one place, I had four of them piled up dead on top of my dead horse.

I enjoy a pleasant horse ride and stop to greet the kind citizens in each town.

While horses are fun to ride, and you can find a neat one you like, they can be a serious pain

Either the horse would die, or I couldn't catch up to the other character.

One great way to waste time is to ride a horse out into the wilderness and kill and skin animals (dear, wild horses, birds, coyotes and more).I

It also has a moral system to determine if you are a bad guy or a good guy

The game gives you a choice between being a good guy or bad guy and a few RPG like choices in the game that will affect other parts later on

I plan to finish my current game as a good guy, then go back and play as the worst possible criminal

It also has a moral system to determine if you are a bad guy or a good guy

Your fellow fighters are pretty good at putting down the bad guys

There are over twenty different kinds of wild and domestic animals

If a snake or wild animal attacks you, and you shoot at it, anyone around you will agro and attack you - you will be considered the wrong doer

skinniong animals and breaking in horses and hogtying enemies is cool

If you get away then a bounty is put on your head, then you gotta watch out for bounty hunters.- You can play a few mini games of the ear such as Poker, Blackjack, Horseshoes, Liar's Dice, and a game called Five Finger Fillet (where you take a knife and stab between the fingers as fast as you can

They were fairly accurate in their setting (cacti for the specific region were right, the animals looked pretty good, etc) however, graphics don't make a game

Unlike Nico Bellic who is forced into situations where he has to Kill both good and bad people in GTA4, Red Deads story mode only includes missions where you have to kill the "Bad Guys" and the player has the option if they want to make John Marston a hero of the west or a stone cold killer

even though Nico wanted redemption Rockstar made it so impossible by giving him situations forcing him to kill cops as well as other good people

Another huge problem with this game is that when you kill people, with the exception of killing one guy way out in the desert, there will be groups of lawmen that will hunt you down until you outrun them

These people get hard on's for playing the same game for the last 4 years and no life and buy everything for it

Rockstar seems to think people play games like GTA for their story.

Mini games such as poker, liars dice, and fie finger filet which posses such detail they could easily be a game on their own.3

Nice try R*. Next time.

Also it has all type of features like you can play poker, black jack, lair's dice, horse shoes, and etc

(Poker, Blackjack, Liar's Dice, Five Finger Fillet etc), bounty hunting, wildlife hunting and treasure hunting all make for a rich and varied game play

You can play minigames of horseshoes, liar's dice, poker, blackjack, five fingers (think knife between the fingers), and even arm wrestling

when people wonder where this series started they'll go to Wikipedia (or Google), type in "Red Dead" in the search bar, see "Red Dead Revolver"

I'm not into any GTA titles at all, but RDR (and Red Dead Revolver) is awesome

A sequel to Red Dead Revolver, this is an open world gun-slinging game set in the Old West

I really enjoyed the first Red Dead Revolver for my Xbox and occasionally still dust it off and play it (Its still kinda funny)

Red Dead Redemption is a repeat of Red Dead Revolver with not significant improvements in game play.

A shame being that this one of the few wild west games out there.

It's the wild wild west just like it was supposed to be

Final impression is, the wild west is dead, and yet will never die.

This game makes you feel like you're actually in the wild west

The problem is simple...the old west isn't that exciting

Red Dead Redemption would do better as a movie than a game

From the graphics to the game mechanics, Red Dead Redemption excells.

Red Dead Redemption is the best game I have ever played

The Red Dead Redemption was for my son, and was what he need

Red Dead Redemption, this game has gained more hype in the past two months than any other game I can think of.

Gunfighting is a little bothersome at first, but once you get the hang of it you can disarm enemies, shoot their hat off or just pump lead into their head

Killing enemies is as easy as pressing the right trigger and allowing yourself to autotarget

Instant deaths from invisible enemies, irritating and nearly impossible escort missions, freezing characters, clipping

skinniong animals and breaking in horses and hogtying enemies is cool

You do unrelated mission after unrelated mission, using lock-on and killing moronic enemies who pop out from chest-high walls, patiently waiting for the lead to get you to the next story-driving plot element

It has the Dead Eye feature which basically is slow-mo while you take aim and target multiple enemies

The colors and sand blowing and swirling is truly beautiful eye candy.

There's a neat "Dead Eye" part where you can slow down time a bit to help target and shoot

You build Dead Eye Mode by making regular kills without

then i figured out how to use dead eye and its even easier now
