Rockstar have redeemed themselves and there's no need to return to the city after providing this compelling argument against automotive transportation.
If this game's concepts seem even remotely interesting to you, head out immediately to your nearest game store and slap your cash down. The single-player story alone is more than worth the price of admission, and the multiplayer is truly unique and will likely evolve into something very special as the community continues to grow.
This is so much more than a mere retooling of Rockstar's tried and tested open world formula – it's an artful take on a world long lost, an evocative paean to not only the Western genre but also to the beautiful expanse of the American landscape.
Certainly not without a few imperfections, Red Dead Redemption is almost unquestionably the best Western-themed game ever, with a great Old West story, an amazingly detailed and expansive landscape that most Rockstar sandbox games are famous for and overall engrossing gameplay that will keep gamers riding off into the sunset for dozens of hours.
In the end, Red Dead Redemption is going to please a lot of gamers who are simply starved for a new world to explore and the Wild West, even though the game takes place at the end of that era, is ripe for the taking.
Red Dead Redemption is a great game although marred with a few flaws the 2nd act of this game feels extremely drawn out and a little boring but the 1st act,3rd act and the final act are all wonderfully done. John is an awesome character a true family man. It's a lot of fun to play this game there's so many interesting characters. Awesome music! Gameplay is fantastic and mostly fast paced.

I like it, but this MF game has so much bugs, i was playing, this **** Just stopped let me walk. And much times i try tô get a gun but it dont let, why? A **** BUG.
After reading all 330 of the mixed reviews I found not one of them mentioned the game's most glaring flaw. GJ ppl, it's no wonder gaming continues to improve at such an incredible rate. It's a sandbox game made by control freaks who put systems in the game that punish the player for doing anything more than bumping into an NPC. It invalidates the point of the sandbox genre. If GTA III, VC, or SA had attached a permanent character penalty every time you ran over a pedestrian, they would not have been popular games. RDR should not be a popular game. For example, out in the middle of nowhere with no other people around, a law officer chased an outlaw to get his bounty. I stepped in to help, shot the bounty, and in response both the bounty and the officer start shooting at me. So I kill both, incur a -200 'Honor' penalty, and game pop-ups messages telling me it's going to lock my out of quests and erase my save file if I don't start playing like a nice boy. It's pants on head stupid, it completely defeats the purpose of the sandbox genre, and removes all the fun from the game. This is less like an actual game and more akin to some kind of virtual training simulator for dogs, where the players are the dogs, being trained to do completely pointless and unrewarding things for no purpose that they have to do anyways because that's what the designers wanted. The entire game is designed as an anti-fun just follow instructions control freak's training exercise. It's basically an interactive cut-scene simulator, where every single moment and every event that occurs in the game is scripted according to what the developers wanted or did not want the player to do. It has almost zero actual entertainment value, and as noted, not a single critique on this site leads to the game's most obvious flaw and are all basically invalid or I wouldn't have left this review.
