    Horrible game. Buy Gun if you want a western game. This one is ridiculous with a horrible plot, shotty controls and just an overall bad game!

    considering the year of release this game is horrible, the bad graphics, gameplay and fun. I can't believe that this game is from rockstar because in 2003 it already had a beautiful and perfect Who gave this one a beating, and Manhunt also 2004 we had the great GTA SAN
    do you want an advice? instead of playing this **** go play GUN that game really is the red dead of PS2

  1. Nothing more than an average execution of an above-average idea. And here's an idea for next time, how about some online play?

    When we say that Red Dead is a great little game, the emphasis is as much on the 'little' as it is on the 'great'. [June 2004, p.102]
  3. Not as deep as "Manhunt" or "GTA" but some of the best fun you'll have with a bottle of firewater and some very old guns. [GamesMaster]
