After loving Red Dead Revolver, I knew this game would be so great - I didn't grow skeptical until I saw that it was made by Rockstar. The controls are absolutely terrible from the start. The default actions available to you for 'driving' your horse (which is something you have to do a lot with how big the world is and for a lot of the missions) are stuffy and difficult to use. Everything seems to be slow to react and unpolished. The graphics are also sub-par, but that's to be expected from Rockstar judging by their track record. Honestly, I wasn't expecting much after seeing the first trailers, but come on... it's 2010, and this looks like some of the earlier xbox360 releases, even some of the later PS2 releases that aren't high-def. I at least expected there to be some evidence of effort, especially after playing current gen games like Dante's Inferno and Prototype. The dialogue is probably the most enjoyable part of this game as I've played it thus far. Although the story doesn't seem to be all that interesting, the voice acting was done pretty well, and the script is convincing and engaging. Really, it's probably the saving grace of this game for me. As far as game function in itself, it was glitching out for me within the first 5 minutes of actual play. The AI doesn't seem to have even been fully developed before release, and I had to restart the first rabbit-shooting mission because rabbits were glitching out inside of the fence. I can't rightly judge the weapons selection and the fullness of the world or the multiplayer as I haven't played too far into it, but at this point, I'm not holding my breath. This was a complete waste of my money, and it will probably be traded in to Gamestop by the end of the week.… Expand

    Overhyped junk.
    You see:
    Plot is dull and vague
    Missions are repetetive and unoriginal.
    Same lame gta4, but with horses
    graphx is good, so youngsters maybe be pleased, but that's it.

    Honestly, one of the most over rated games I have ever played. L.A Noire put this game to shame...
    Part of the reason I didn't like it I am sure is because I just never really cared for the western theme. However, I thought maybe this game would do something different or unique. It didn't. On top of that, the atmosphere and story was the blandest I have ever played through.

It’s Grand Theft Auto in the Old West, which may sound intriguing until you actually play it for a while and discover that something as simple as moving your “vehicle” in reverse has become a tedious pain in the butt. Not to mention that riding a horse is flat out nowhere near as fun as driving a car and removes most of the things that make the GTA sandbox fun (different types of vehicles, stunt jumps, etc).

    Everything down to the gameplay structure & unnecessarily long cutscenes during missions is the same as GTA4. You unlock mission givers and have to travel to them from your save point, then to the mission objective, then back to the save point, over & over again. Except, as I mentioned, you’re on a horse instead of in a car. The graphics on PS3 are also disappointing, just like GTA4.

    There is allegedly some incredible story buried in this game, but good luck finding it. I played for about 20 hours and never encountered it (also a lot like GTA4). I completely lost interest in whatever was going on after doing my umpteenth random task for whats-her-name the cattle rancher. The sidequests are even worse. I can’t imagine how mind-numbing it would be to try and reach 100% completion on this game.

    If you have a serious hard-on for the Old West, horses, and moving slowly over mostly empty & bleak terrain, this game is your huckleberry. Otherwise, steer clear.    … Expand

I figured, hey, free dlc? OK, why not? Unfortunately, this game is about as mediocre as GTA4. Much like GTA4, RDR sports a completely uninteresting protagonist, a terrible, drawn out story, two dimensional characters, and a nauseating interpretation of the American southwest and northern Mexico that will make you gag. The story missions are hopelessly repetitive, the side missions are almost all fetch quests, the mini games (aside from casino games) are boring, and the "ambient challenges" (sharpshooting, hunting, treasure finding, plant gathering) serve no purpose other than to increase your fame score (and marginally at that) which yields passive bonuses every time you 'level it up.' Throughout the game, you also unlock different outfits, some of which grant passive bonuses one might call "perks" but the majority of them serve no purpose other than to make your character look different. Sorry Rockstar, I don't want to play dress up. Combat is improved over GTA4, however, it's still way too easy. Add to that the inclusion of bullet time (called Dead Eye) and the game is a cakewalk. Even on Hardcore mode with auto aim disabled, less health, and longer health regen (yes, it has health regen), it's still too easy. The game world is quite vast requiring large amounts of travel. While traveling, you might encounter random events along the road, say, travelers under attack by bandits or people trying to steal your horse. It's a nice diversion from moving through the massive world, but the variety of events is lacking and rescuing the same maiden in distress or recapturing the same escaped prisoners over and over gets old fast like many of the features in the game. Fast travel is also a feature but is not without its flaws. Fast travel takes place from stage coaches - the taxis of RDR. Stage coaches are not in every town, however. You can instead set up a camp, wait for the game to force you to watch some animations as you navigate the camp menu, and then fast travel. Yes that's right - you have to set up a camp in order to fast travel. Not that intuitive but whatever. If there is no stage coach at the town you are currently in, you can't set up camp inside the town to fast travel out of it. Instead, you have to leave the town, travel into the wilderness for a bit, set up your camp, watch the stupid animations and navigate the menu, then select your destination, loading screen, and voila, it's 6 hours later and you're where you need to be. The controls are generally good but there are some curious decisions. While on horseback, you have to hold a button to maintain your speed. If you want to make your horse gallop faster, you have to mash that same button in order to make it sprint. But your horse has stamina and will tire, so you have to mash X, hold it and let him regenerate his stamina bar, then mash X again to go faster. This is so **** tedious and hurts my thumb. The graphics are good, the atmosphere is great (even if the characters are 2D), but that means **** all since the gameplay is so stale. That's not to say the game isn't fun to play. The shooting is solid (though easy thanks to bullet time) and the missions are fun at first, but the game does absolute nothing new so that by the time you are 20% complete with the game, you have seen all it has to offer. Never does it incrementally introduce new mechanics or switch things up. It is the same tedious, mind numbing tasks over and over again, much like GTA4. If you are a GTA die hard, you will love this game. If you have never played a GTA game before, you will love this game. If you were expecting a fresh experience and not just a new setting, look elsewhere.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Possibly the most overrated, boring, pointless pile of crap I have ever played, parts where I thought it was going to get things right it failed on every level. So many fanboys of this game. Which is one of the reasons its hyped to be one of the best games every created. It's not. As much as I wanted to get into this game with it's INCREDIBLY high production value and great graphics it was just a slow boring game.

    One of the things that made it most disappointing for me was how much it was hyped to be a open world SANDBOX game. It is not. Sure you can go anywhere you want but there is litterily no point. Hunting? Pffft. There's no crafting system for this game for hunting so really if you skin an animal the only thing to do with it is to sell it for a few bucks. That's it. There is not much else to do in this game besides buy a few weapons or items. You may have a little bit of fun with shooting up a entire town, but the shooting mechanics are so dull and boring that theres no fun before getting rushed by the police and getting absolutely murdered because of it's GOD AWFUL cover system.

    Bottom line is if you want to buy this game for a open world do whatever you want western experience this is NOT your game. However if you want a single player 20 hour game with a ok story and average missions then sure rent it and complete it in 2 or 3 days. But after that theres no reason to replay this game. Another thing I was dissopointed with is the HUGE lack in quests. I swear in the entire game there's probably 25 quests at the most. Over a 20 hour experience. Each quest will take you about 10-20 minutes to complete. This should not be classified as a RPG, considering there's no powerups or leveling up tree of any kind and the interior of the game is just dull in a lot of ways.

    The multiplayer for this game is no different. It's a boring average 3rd person game with no mechanics to call its own other than a quickdraw to start the match off and dead eye as a kill streak. Not much else.

    I will give the game credit for it's 20 hour story that will give you a little entertainment but beyond that this game does not deserver a 10 because of it's lack of replayability, open world dissopointments as advertised, and many other dissopointments as well.

    What you have is a boring western shooter with not much epicness going for it. Thanks for wasting my money rockstar.

    The multiplayer is barely worth mentioning.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Red Dead Redemption is easily the most overrated title I have ever played. It gets a 3 because blowing through the campaign was fun the first time, and it loses 7 points for everything else.

    Firstly, the story was atrocious. Every character was extremely archetypal. In some cases(Irish, Shaky), characters were so cliched that they were named for their archetypes. The dialogue characters exchanged was incredibly poorly written. Actual quote: "Change is only good if it's for the better." -Bonnie Macfarlane. This blatantly obvious "good things are only good if they're good" quote is a perfect example of how the writers try to be deep and fail miserably. Red Dead tries to make the player sympathize with protagonist John Marston because he is going through hard times and has been separated from his wife and son, who will die unless he takes action to save them, but I found it completely impossible to sympathize with Marston- He is a mass murderer with absolutely no scruples. He constantly makes threats of physical violence against his friends/allies like Irish and Nigel West Dickens, and he destroys the Mexican government and puts a tyrant(Reyes) in control of Mexico- Reyes goes on to slaughter thousands of Mexican civilians. The part of RDR that really showcases what a bad character Marston is is one of the final missions when Marston is working on his ranch- a ranch hand tells Marston that there are some valuable wild horses nearby and asks if they should go catch some. Instead of doing what any decent person would do(complement the ranch hand for spotting the horses, promise him a raise, get his help, and catch some horses), Marston berates the ranch hand for not immediately going after the horses, calls him a fat old man or something like that, then catches the horses. This encounter just goes to show what an a$$hole Marston is. Marston and all the other lousy characters totally ruin the story. The one part of the story that I like is the very last mission in which Marston is killed. After dozens of missions in which Marston slaughtered people, made needless threats, and behaved like an a$$hole, finally seeing him get what he had coming to him for the whole game was a great reward for slogging through the campaign. Even ignoring the dismal characters, the story was a disjointed mess from start to finish- the game began and ended with strings of brutally boring ranch work quests that had to do with shooting crows that were eating corn, and boring things like that. Proponents of RDR have claimed that the end ranch missions provide closure for those invested in the story, which I can believe, but I would not know first hand, because there is no reason for anyone to be invested in the story. The whole thing makes no sense. At one point, Marston works with the Mexican army and kills hundreds of Mexican rebels, and then he makes the spur-of-the-moment decision to raid a fort, kill a group of Mexican soldiers, and free the captured rebel leader because a hot female told him to. Then, the rebels welcome him as a brother and pretend the thing where he killed hundreds of them never happened- in reality, the rebels would have killed him first chance they got, because he, you know, killed hundreds of them. That is just one example- the whole story was equally senseless. If you care at all about good story or characters, don't get RDR.

    The settings started out interesting but quickly grew boring. While each of the towns looked different, all the areas of the wilderness either were plains that all looked the same or were snowy forests that all looked the same. Settings were extremely redundant.

    Controls, graphics, and music were all okay. Combat was well done, but nothing about it was original, except for the lasso, which only came into play occasionally, and even then was fairly uninteresting. Run up close to someone and throw a lasso at that person to capture said person. Nothing else to it. Combat was redundant. Missions, gang hideouts, bounties- it all felt the same and was way too easy. Most of the different guns felt the same. Activities like hunting, bounties, and gang hideout clearing quickly grew boring. As far as gameplay is concerned, RDR was just bland, and it would need to be incredible to make up for the story and make this a game worth playing.

    Also, voice acting was another problem. Native American interpreter Nastas was just appalling and whenever he talked, I paid less attention to what he was saying and more attention to how fake his voice sounded. Fortunately, he was a very minor character, however the same cannot be said for John Marston. The main character was voiced by another bad voice actor- not as bad as the Nastas voice actor, but still pretty bad.

    I care about an interesting story, realistic characters, creative settings, imaginative gameplay mechanics, good music and good voice acting, all things RDR lacked. It had decent combat and graphics, but other games have much better.    … Expand

I hate the ending so much that I can't even sell the disc in good conscience; just have to toss it in the trash like dangerous waste.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Most overrated game of all time, hands down. I don't know how Red Dead Redemption manages to receive so much praise and acclaim when it does pretty much everything wrong. The controls are clunky and awkward (John Marston controls like a tank). My biggest complaint about the controls is that you need to spam a button to sprint. Why? There's no reason at all for a feature like that to exist in ANY game. It's a standard feature in modern games to let you hold down a button to sprint, rather than keep son spamming it. Anyways, moving on, let's talk about the story and gameplay. The gameplay is generic, boring, uninvolving, uninspired, and extremely repetitive. Nearly all of the missions boil down to you doing the same thing over and over again: running and gunning, which make it no different to 99% of first/third person shooters on the market right now. The gunplay is mainly focused around slow motion an bullet time, so there's no challenge whatsoever, and instead it's just something you do. The very, VERY few missions that don't entirely consist of running and gunning are either tailing missions or boring fetching quests. The story is genuinely appalling. The entire Red Dead Redemption narrative template is as follows: find a NPC, do a favour for them, do another favour for them, do yet ANOTHER favour for them. Then, they will finally provide a TINY hint of progress towards your goal. Repeat this cycle for fifty hours, and you have Red Dead Redemption's story. The characters never develop and their personalities never change. The characters are uncharismatic, annoying dickheads, especially Irish and West Dickens. I just wanted to punch my TV so I wouldn't have to bear any more of them. So that's its characters, its story and its gameplay. Moving on, let's talk about the graphics. They looked like **** even for the time. They might have been acceptable for seventh generation consoles (XBOX 360, and PS3), but still, Rockstar could have at least made a slight effort. Now let's talk about the controversial ending. One of the biggest failures in the history of gaming, without a doubt. The game tries to make you feel emotion for an annoying, mental retard who you wanted to get rid of the entire time. A lot of people seemed to like its ending, but it didn't work for me. The ending aside, on of Red Dead Redemption's biggest flaws is the lack of the ability to swim. Why can't you swim? It's such a basic feature which is standard in most games these days. To make it even worse, Rockstar rubs in the fact that you can't swim, by using bodies of water as a way of stopping you from accessing later parts of the game. So annoying. This was stupid and lazy of Rockstar. With all of that said, let's talk about the game's upsides. The online multiplayer is incredibly fun, and slightly underrated. It was basically heroin to me at one point. Mini-games such as Poker and Blackjack are fun, addictive, and a unique way of making money, which not many games have done. I was blown away by how historically accurate the game is, especially the writing. The historical accuracy, as well as the beautifully rendered historical art and architecture, is by far my favourite thing about the game. Another upside is the Undead Nightmare DLC, which might actually be the best DLC ever made, and that's saying quite a lot. Another upside is the open world. Red Dead Redemption's open world is extremely diverse, and very detailed. Rockstar could have just made a simple desert, but instead they made a diverse, beautiful, and detailed open world, brimming with things to do. Everything from hunting to collecting flowers for a lady, there's tons to do in the world of Red Dead Redemption.

    And that is my review of Red Dead Redemption.    … Expand

    Para mim, este é o jogo mais overrated da história! É ridículo um jogo medíocre desses estar com notas iguais ou melhores que The Last of Us, a verdadeira obra-prima do PS3. Simplesmente chato, controles ruins, diálogos ruins, movimentação horrível do personagem (parece estar "cagado"). Suponho que dá pra fazer muitas coisas no jogo, mas de que adianta, se é tudo chato? Joguei 1h ePara mim, este é o jogo mais overrated da história! É ridículo um jogo medíocre desses estar com notas iguais ou melhores que The Last of Us, a verdadeira obra-prima do PS3.

    Rimasto come l'originale, senza remaster o remake. Zero spese massimo profitto.

    The game perfectly captures the expansiveness of frontier life and the gritty gunplay of spaghetti westerns, rightfully earning its place alongside the great Western films and the best Rockstar games. [Issue#206, p.86]

    Rockstar's skill in creating a believable, functioning world with a distinct, coherent and consistent atmosphere is peerless. The broad-brush vision is masterful.

    Red Dead Redemption is a masterpiece. This game is the perfect example of how a developer should work to create the best atmosphere and to represent a beautiful historical situation. The graphics, the gameplay elements and everything else is at top level. Buy Red Dead Redemption, now!
