Open world like GTA, but set in the wild west

Buy it if you like the Old West

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

Enjoy the wild west one more time!

Every interaction Marston has with West Dickens follows the same nonsensical pattern,"you're a lying, cheating scumbag, West Dickens.""That may be so, but I need your help to run a con.""OK, let's go."Marston's supposed to be this man struggling for redemption, but in the Plainview mission he winds up killing about 30 men to save a con man he himself say should be lynched

The landscape feels and looks like the Wild West with rock, mountains, trees to even tumble-weeds going by

This game looks wild west looks gorgeous

GTA is an amazing series so if they are able to take the GTA game play and adapt it to different time periods like the wild west then

Besides the "look" of the Wild West you can hear it as well

This is an amazing game!It takes you back to the wild west days and lets you experience real situations!

The open world environment adds to the fun factor since you can almost anything you can think of to do in the wild west.

The aura of the game and the graphics amalgamate an experience that sets you right into the world of the Wild West

the basic plot -- john marston, a former outlaw and gunslinger, is coerced by evil government agents to do their dirty work out in the wild west, only to be betrayed by them and later avenged -- allows for quite a lot of subplots and side action (bounty hunts, criminal hideout shootouts, treasure hunts, big game hunts, etc.), and the variety of locales, characters, geography and wildlife (human and otherwise) is impressive

Being a GTA clone it was too much like a wild west GTA and not unique

It's very like Grand thef auto but in a more much fun enviroment, like the wild west

I agree that this is a Grand Theft Auto set in the Wild West.

Rockstar has really done their homework in painting a believable old wild west life with a touch of hollywood with the people, the history, the lifestyle

It's not a perfect game, there are some bugs, the missions, especially the side-quests, get repetitive after a while, but it's a unique, well thought out, cohesive story that makes you feel like you're in the wild west for just a little while.

One of the main things that I like about this game is it reminds you of real historical elements that you might have forgotten such as Americans' attitudes about expansion and the general zeitgeist about the role of the federal government in the "wild west" during the late 1800s/ early 1900s

Just like with GTA 4 it shares some similarities but in no way is this GTA set in the wild west

Rockstar really took time to make Red Dead an excellent experience into the wild wild west

GREAT OPENWORLD WILD WEST GAMEPLAY

I am not an expert on the wild west, nor am I a history

Set in the early 20th century, Red Dead Redemption takes place in the ever changing Wild West

Unfortunately this game tries to make the "wild west" a little too authentic with nothingness for so long in between locations

The year is 1911, and the old west is in its death throes, but although technology and "modern life" are encroaching, in New Austin, it is still the wild and wooly West

Pretty much everything is perfectly polished and consistent, and you'll find yourself loving the Wild West's final days.

This is an open world game set in the early 1900s as industry and "civilization" begin to push at the borders of the "wild west"

It's pretty graphic and really pulls the player into the experience of "being" a gunslinger in the Wild West.

I did reach 100% in the single player and once I did that - there isn't much reason to go back and play it unless you really enjoyed the minigames or just causing havoc in the wild west!This game is a DEFINITE improvement over the original Red Dead Revolver.

It really is a rare feat for any game company; the fact that Rockstar has accomplished this high-level authentic "wild-west" feel

The wild west setting is gritty and doesn't come across as cliche

It has great graphics and is much like GTA in the Wild West.

I felt that i was in the wild west the whole time i played Red Dead from start to finish i was never board

It really is a rare feat for any game company; the fact that Rockstar has accomplished this high-level authentic "wild-west" feel

When you stop and think about it, almost every aspect to the wild west lends itself perfectly to not only this style of sandbox game but also the type of violent kinds of games that Rockstar creates

great game ... the grand theft auto of the wild west

Its soo much more then GTA in the wild wild west

Just going home and being able to run around the Wild West is enough for me, Rockstar included a solid story, but you can make your own as you go, helping damsels in distress, or massacring an entire settlement, its all up to you.

Every single one of these staples of the wild west are present in the game and every single one is an absolute blast to play.

One gains a better understanding of the wild west through the adventures

GREAT OPENWORLD WILD WEST GAMEPLAY

The feel of the game of being in the wild west during the early 1900's is completely different than NYC modern day.

Here are my thoughts so far...get this game..form a posse..and rule the wild west..instead of looking at reviews you should just get up and buy it

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

If you like open world gameplay, the wild west, brilliant storytelling, or just gorgeous

Rockstar has really done their homework in painting a believable old wild west life with a touch of hollywood with the people, the history, the lifestyle

The controls take a few minutes to get used to, especially on horseback, but once you are used to it, and comfortable with it you will love it!Some reviewers will say "This game is basically grand theft auto IV, but set in the wild west."

Grand Theft Auto in the wild west

Even in this game, it seems there are too many side-of-the-road encounters which involve a gunfight - was the Wild West really this wild?There are occasional bugs in this game, which in some ways are a little humorous, but also sometimes annoying

Overall i love the old style West and it never gets old to my heart and soul

If you want the closest thing to an "open world" of the Wild West you're gonna find, this game is a hit.

It's ironic that the wild and woolly west has been the setting for morality plays since the inception of the western; either for government, or against it

Set in the dying days of the wild west you play as John Marston former outlaw

But taking a Wild West setting, making it an open world game, and making it an homage to the classic spaghetti westerns of the 30's - 60's was a great idea

The first represents the good old American West as it was around the turn of the century (or at least how it was in the middle of nowhere at the turn of the century)

I have never been a fan of the traditional western genre and to be frank, the "wild wild west" seemed anything but "wild" to me

You have tired, 'sarcastic' interpretations of the Wild West like the Yale-educated guy who does ... not .. understand

I love that they dove back into the wild west genre... with an amazing story and a fantastic multi-player experience as well

From creation of different land structures to plants, trees, animal and people, everything gives you the feeling that you are in actual wild west

I really dig this game, the ability to roam the Wild West, saving women from being hung, leaving a thieving wench on the train tracks to get run over, not to mention the story of John Marsten.

I played the game after Rockstar patched the servers)In their build up till game launch, Rockstar hyped up the "Free Roam" mode as sort of a wild west MMORPG

I love this game; just like being a gunslinger in the wild West

The wild west setting of Red Dead Redemption is so fully realized that the player feels like he's in a western himself while playing this game

It added to the atmosphere of the game, making you feel as though you were really in the Wild West.

It is quite simply hype fueled by Rockstar and people starved for a open-world wild west game

This game dives deep into the wild west, giving the player the full experience of being a bad outlaw or a reluctant good guy!

Combat is an interesting system, you can hop into cover, pull out any wild west weapon imaginable, and even use a "Dead Eye" system which lets you slow down and plan your shots, similar to the system in Fallout 3

Oblivion, set in the fictional old west of spaghetti westerns

So if you want an engrossing chronicle of the Wild West and a quest lineup that enjoys some sequencing of events don't look here

With this game being set in the Wild West, it definitly adds a great spice to this genre of videogames

The wild west is finally done right

And the west is indeed wild!

This game takes place in 1908, well after most other western titles, "wild west" was already "tamed" by this point

The problem with this strategy is that it rings somewhat false, it doesn't feel right, or at least it doesn't fit the image of how the wild west is portrayed in virtually every other form of media

It is by far the best wild west games I've heard of and seen

The Wild West has never looked so good

Not only does the deadeye mode help with the clunky controls, but it adds that quick draw feel to the character, that makes you believe he really is a wild west gunslinger like you've seen so many times in the movies

Still the best game if you like the old west

Whether you have PS3 or an Xbox 360, you MUST own this game if you're a fan of 3rd person shooters, the Wild West, or great plot
