    Red Dead Redemption is a fantastic game that from the beginning feels refreshing and unique as it is set in western America.

Of course it also has the typical flawns from any GTA game. But the epicness, the greatness of this game, masks them. And despite you know how badly ends the game, you will play it again, and even do things differently. A must play, you like this genre or not (it may convert you).

    Red dead redemption is a fun game it's kinda like gta5 but in the days before cars and they rode horses on red dead redemption it's kinda relaxing because there aren't other people trying to kill you like gta 5 the people that made it knew what they were doing and the controls are easy to get the hang of and my favorite part of the game is the missions on the missions you go and like one mission is watch the town for the night so you walk around town in a circle for a while then you see these things running ahead of you than the lady that is helping you says pull out your gun shoot them before they go and kill the cows than after that on you follow the lady and she says.
    I recommend this game if you like playing gta 5 but you rage and this game is basicly gta but if you rage then this game would be a good calm down for you.    … Expand

    Make no mistake: this is the best game that Rockstar have created since GTA: San Andreas. Almost everything in this game is perfect, and even now I find myself returning to this masterpiece once in a while. The ultimate western game that is 200% worthy of your time and interest, and I hope that it will be a fundamental for the future Wild West/western-themed games.

From the opening scene the tone is set with an incredable haunting score. You witness high brow passengers on a train talk of how great it will be to finally bring civilization to these savages. "They may have lost their land, but they've gained everything else." "Yes they live like animals, but they're happier now." A young lady question's her father's religious beliefs as it doesn't seem to make sense that an innocent would go to hell unless they receive communion. It's these types of questions that we ask ourselves through the incredable well written and engaging narrative. What is moral? What odds are we up against? Life isn't so black and white. The gameplay is top notch for its time, the characters are layered from comical, to sad. Theres a biting satire to Rockstar's work, yet the ending left me more emotional than any video game I can remember.
    In 2010 the game looked beautiful. It's dated now, but on a recent play through I still felt the beauty of the crafted sunsets, to the cool shade beneath "Tall Trees." I can't wait for the second one to come out next week!    … Expand

There are two moments that will stick with me forever: the first when you unlock a new part of the map, in my case at dusk of dawn, and you ride along a trail and the music wails. I'm not sure if that's a memorable moment for anyone else, but it invoked ALL the wonderful clichees about Westerns all at once, and made you FEEL them. And then i bawled my eyes out when the flawed character in desperate need of redemption and meaning to his life is cut short just when he seemingly finally achieved it. Poetic justice, but what poetry is involved. I loved this game. Thanks to the writers. You created a world and a character that i haven't found in any other game since.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game remains my favourite game of all time, despite lots of more recent work by Rockstar Games, Naughty Dog, etc. For its time, it had an incredible sense of atmosphere, helped by a wonderful score. Due to its wonderous design it really felt like you were a lone ranger, having to travel throughout the dangerous wild west. It was the first game to ever make me cry (only three others have done so since) due to the attachment I had to John by the end of the game. Free roam online with my friends was also a blast and some of the most fun I've ever had. I think this was partly due to the fundamental freedom of aiming weapons you had on horseback while still being able to move fast, enabled by a good controller scheme. If RDR 2 can be as good as this was at the time, the world will have to wait for me while I play it.… Expand

    Otro problema es la disonancia ludonarrativa donde la actitud del protagonista es de "quiero que esto acabe cuanto antes y volverá a la vida normal con mi hijo y mi mujer, pero luego puedes desde jugar al poker e irte de caza.

    An argument with ups and downs in its pace, but its quality remains unquestionable, even improving reaching the end of the story, and bringing one of the best endgame in the history of video games.

    It is playable, but there are still serious failures and the Dead Eye is broken. Its aroma to Grand Theft Auto takes its toll.
