Experience the Wild West just before it loses the "wild" in this open-world epic from the minds behind Grand Theft Auto. At the turn of the century in the Old West, government is creeping in, order is being handed down, and Industry is taking hold. Join former outlaw John Marston on an epic adventure across America's final frontier. Track enemies with the slow-motion Dead Eye targeting mechanic in furious gun battles, duels, and more. Escape or embrace your checkered past as a morality system tracks your honor and fame based on your choices. And in the lawless West, those choices aren't going to be easy.

Great Game Through and Through
Red Dead Redemption, The tale of John Marston through Americas Final Frontier.<br /><br />The unproven western genre has now been proven. Red Dead Redemption offers countless hours of entertainment. Be it through the amazing Single player story. The fun and well balanced Mini games and side missions, or even better, The Multiplayer.<br /><br />For people who may remember Grand Theft auto 4's Free Roam. Red Dead adds in countless things to do in free roam. Be it shooting up a gang hideout, evading us marshalls via horseback, or simply hunting some bears with your buds.<br /><br />But the single player story is by far the height of the experience. The story is beautifully woven together. A very rare commodity in most todays games. After awhile you just kinda fall into the role of John marston as if you were in the game itself.<br /><br />I have been unable to find anything wrong with the game, infact I think it's perfect in every way. I have come across very very few bugs, but most of them made me laugh hysterically.<br /><br />So to sum up my review, I give this game a Ten for Perfection. All other western games here on out will without a doubt, be compared to Red Dead Redemption.

Brilliant game...
Red Dead Redemption is a continued game from a Playstation2 classic Red Dead Revolver... However, the new title Redemption is nothing like the first Red Dead title.<br />The game play is a lot like Grand Theft Auto IV, a lot of realistic motion, but with a greater area to Roam in and a lot more fun. The Multiplayer is very unique with a role playing `sense(XP points and Character exceeding abilities) with a variety of things you can do..<br /><br />You play as John Marston. <br />John Marston has a bad history and trys to leave the history to rest. Instead of finding that peace in mind, John Marston is forced by Federals to help hinder his old accomplice. He travels far to figure how to bring his past to an end -- How ever he can bring his past to an end. <br /><br />A well written Western, placing you in the rural Wild West. Now, unlike games like Saboteur by Panademic. RockStar Games knows there isn't 100s of people constantly walking around the country side at night. <br />The Wild West Rockstar conducted really brings to mind the obstacles people back then faced, beautifully. Rich, vast landscapes, inhospitable strangers... The motion detail in animation is superb in every thing too the tumble weeds.<br />Side missions include: bounty hunting, breaking(taming) horses, playing poker, herding cattle, hunting, holding up trains or strangers, and to even playing a game of horse shoes[tossing].<br /><br />Multiplayer.... is hilarious, you select your character and that character can upgrade after ranking up. You start with a donkey el' Senor. You can get a horse later on if you like. As soon as you start multiplayer: They throw you into free Roam with other online players. In free roam you can either run around the World of Red Dead Redemption, shooting anyone `thing that moves. Or you can play strategic game modes that are Posse(team) orientated.<br /><br />The game is really great, and I haven't mention all the co-op modes or other side missions.<br /><br />Rockstar has produced a marvel, that is worth every penny of it. <br />Try it..

Good game but kind of drags on toward the "end".
Great concept, Great graphics, but the story line kind of drags on after awhile. Maybe it's just my personality but I became kind of bored after a few hours. It gets to the point where you feel like you're doing the same thing over and over to me.

The best single player experience ever.
Everything about this game is top notch. Amazing graphics. Awsome gameplay. Absolutely great story. This game had some minor issues with glitches but I rarely ever had a glitch. This game had one of the best endings ever in a game. And you could play this game for months and not get tired of it. Theres so much to do in this game. And after you finally beat the single player it dosen't end there. The multiplayer could be a game in it's self. I had so much fun playing this game. I look forward to the next one.

DonHey's Reviews: Red Dead Redemption
~ NO SPOILERS ~
<br />
<br />Red Dead Redemption is perhaps one of the best games of all time, ans is, thus far, the best game of 2010. I have a strong feeling, young Padawans, that this game is going to sell millions and millions.
<br />
<br />The protagonist, John, has, like all NPCs, a character that is displayed beautifully through the game's wonderful story. The story isn't cheesy, cheap, or stupid. Of course, there's maybe one moment (in the beginning) that's a little dumb. But, other than that, the game is magnificent. It balances action, drama, and an unexpected chunk of comedy perfectly through it's cut-scenes and NPCs conversations with one another. To get a good laugh, stand outside a saloon to hear the drunken patrons' conversations. It's a hoot.
<br />
<br />There is a TON of extra activities in the game. It's loaded with mini-games and side missions that will provide endless hours of entertainment. There are also "random" events that occur in some towns and on the roads. These include hangings, pleads for help, shootouts, gang encounters, highwayman checkpoints, and getting bamboozled by a seemingly harmless woman who is actually working with gang members to draw you in so they can attack you. You really never know what to expect, and it's that feeling that is oh so wonderful.
<br />
<br />In conclusion, Red Dead Redemption has everything a good game should have. Only cons are that the player character (PC) runs a bit odd, and selecting weapons via the weapon-wheel can be agrivating sometimes. Still, I'd say this is a revolutionary game that has raised the bar sky-high. It is now probably one of my favorite games of all time. Rockstar did a fantastic job, and I wish every game developer worked as hard as they did on this game.

TAKE NOTES GAME DESIGNERS
Simply AMAZING this game is by far one of the best i have ever played.
<br />For the simple reason i love wester games and movies this game gives you control over anything you wanna do be a bandit or be an honorable person and uphold the law.
<br />You can run off and and not do any missions and just enjoy youself killing all kinda animals ranging from wild boars to bucks and doves to coyotes wolfs and cougars and birds like owls and hawks and crows there are tons of different animals. The controls are hella easy to learn and use if there is any downside to the game is sometimes your horse will dissapear when you get off to skin some animals.
<br />But other than that its such a fun game to play you will not get bored anytime soon with this tittle. I wanna give my thanks to ROCKSTAR games personally because to all other game designers this is how you make a game not rushed lots of tought into it and great substance.
<br />Two thumbs up i would do more but i only have 2 hands :)
<br />
<br />Thank you guys i LOVE THIS TITTLE.

Love this game !
I use to talk to a friend about a game like this when GUN came out. I felt like that GUN was okay but it could've been so much more. This game feels like Rockstar adopted the Title from whatever company made the last one and Impregnated that game with GTA 4 's Semen and this is the miracle child. I have logged in about 18 hrs. online now. About 2 hours of Single Player. And I Fricken love it. <br /> The gameplay is very much like grand theft auto but with Six Shooters, Horses and Moltovs. I have had very little lag online and no complaints about the Single Player. I recommend this game to everyone. This is definitely a game to buy............

Amazing graphics mix with amazing gameplay!!
The graphics are really good in this game, especially for an open world game. The fellows over there at Rockstar really out did themselves in creating a world that the players can really get into. Little things like over-hearing bar conversations or reading the current events in the newspaper (much of the articles are about your deeds)! The voice acting is top notch and there are many different voices too. The controls are smooth once you get used to them and the story is a good 20-30 hours of play. I would recommend renting the game not buying because there is not much replay value.
<br />The online free roam is fun too! But killing each other does get old.

a must play
What can I say about this game? Well, it's amazing. This game has everything that a gamer could want. The characters and story aren't the most original but they are still great. The things you can do in this game are almost limitless, like starting a bar fight, kidnapping someone and putting them on train tracks, or getting drunk in a saloon, the options are many and they are all good. If you are the type of gamer who likes to play with friends online, this is the perfect game for you. Start an online multiplayer game and play with your friends, join in a posse or start your own, attack the many forts scattered across the map, or become a public enemy and see if anyone is man enough to fight you. The only downside to this game is the ending, why, because its the end of the game duh! It doesn't matter what type of gamer you are, this game is worth it.
