    A masterpiece in the Western and Open World genres, the characters, story, and gameplay are at their best, and the game's soundtrack is great.

Red Dead Redemption es un juegazo a todos los niveles: la ambientación western está tan conseguida que consigue transportarte a esa época; la narrativa es muy buena, con personajes e historias secundarias realmente interesantes; los personajes son muy carismáticos y profundos; el mundo abierto tiene muchas cosas por hacer; la música es simplemente sublime e inmejorable; y los gráficos siguen manteniendo el tipo a día de hoy y no se siente anticuado (a pesar de algún que otro bajón de fps en PS3). Como puntos negativos: algunas misiones secundarias son de recadero (ir y volver) y quizá se nota algo anticuado en este apartado actualmente por las mecánicas algo simples y escasas. A pesar de ello, personalmente Red Dead Redemption me ha conseguido transmitir con su historia y su argumento una empatía hacía diversos personajes, algo que no consigue cualquier juego. Recomiendo esta obra maestra a cualquiera que quiera vivir una experiencia inolvidable. 9,5/10

    Red Dead Redemption fue un juego que tomo al mundo por sorpresa nadie sabia nada de que Rockstar haria secuela al juego Read Dead Revolver, un juego que es meh... y he de decir que supieron tomar la crueldad del viejo oeste y hacer una historia increible, la musica es muy buena y muy entretenida de principio a fin y el final es un final muy crudo, al punto en que te replanteas tu propia vida.

    Starts off strong, but slowly goes downhill.

    The Good - it's very similar to GTA, in map and progression design. And I love it. The sandbox is one of the best for its time, especially when combined with its strong narrative and characters. - I appreciate the "skip to destination" option. But the dialogue is usually interesting enough that u stay for at least a bit of the ride.    Starts off strong, but slowly goes downhill.

    The Good

    - it's very similar to GTA, in map and progression design. And I love it. The sandbox is one of the best for its time, especially when combined with its strong narrative and characters.

    - I appreciate the "skip to destination" option. But the dialogue is usually interesting enough that u stay for at least a bit of the ride. Skipping to your waypoint was extremely convenient.

    - being able to fast travel from anywhere in the wild is very convenient, unlike in Red dead 2

    - steering the horse is really easy. The control is reactive and fluent. Matching speed with your comrade is really useful.

    - The narrative is much darker than Red dead 2. There's more about rape, murder, and deception. Despite the time period being a bit later, it seems things are more wild.

    - I like how your horse will go faster if you keep it on the trail, instead of the grass. This was a good reward for steering the horse on track, and gave me something to do if I couldn't fast travel.

    - I like John Marston as a character. He's Sharp and critical of others for the right reasons. He's a good judge of character, and he's good at verbally destroying another character through a mix of sarcasm and seriousness.

    - marking targets with deadeye isn't automatic unlike Red dead 2, which I think is a good thing because it makes it more challenging and technically more demanding.

    - five finger fillet is pretty fun.

    - it's interesting seeing the corruption in the early Mexican government.

    - is it actually possible to unlock I turning lock on a safe without some special hearing equipment?

    - this game has villains that make me want to kill them because they are so evil. Like Allende. Compared to Red dead 2 where the villains that you are fighting icons or actually just trying to follow the law, while you are against it. As of person who is living in a civilized society AKA the year 2020, it's hard to relate to the van der Linde gang point of view.

    The Bad

    - I want to be able to free aim, but trying to free aim while riding a horse in trying to shoot enemies while they're on the horse it's very very difficult. Which means sometimes I need to rely on aim assist, which just feels like cheating. Dead eye runs out too quickly.

    - the textbox tutorials disappear too quickly. I find myself trying to perform the task while reading it, but most of the time halfway through reading it, it disappears. Though u can go to the journal brief to check what was said, but this breaks the pace of the gameplay. This affects tutorials as well. Like during the duel tutorial, I'm trying to read the text, look at the opponents, and look at the red and blue bars, and they are in separate parts of the screen, and it happens all at the same time. So where am I supposed to look? I'm trying to read the text, I'm scared the dude's going to shoot me. And the tutorial only happens once, so if you miss it, then tough luck. Or you can go back to your logs to read through it, but that obviously isn't going to be the same.

    - it's weird how in some missions, everything related to a mission just disappears The moment the mission is finished. Your comrade disappears. This is a recurring thing in the GTA series, and I never liked it. Even if they showed your comrade riding off and disappearing in the distance would have been better then them just vanishing. It's as if the mission was nothing but a dream.

    - some of the reasons for dying is kind of ridiculous. There is one parts where I rode my horse into I guess water that was a bit too deep and died. Curious thing is that I walked in really slowly, then the screen just turned black immediately with the word dead. Instead I think the game should just pop you off the horse. It would make more sense. Nico in GTA IV didn't just die when riding a motorcycle into a lake. And the game is older than Red dead, so why?

    - it's annoying how if you accidentally run over a townsfolk you fail your mission. Sometimes they're just in the way, and steering the horse isn't the most precise thing in the world.

    - objects render slowly on PS3. It kills the immersion sometimes

    - there was a time where I wanted to buy snake oil, but the shopkeeper literally just walked out of the shop and started walking around like a regular pedestrian. I don't know if this was an intended programming as part of the AI, but it was quite annoying cause I couldn't end up buying what I needed as the shop keeper never went back to his shop.    … Expand

    Winner of more than 160 goty awards, goty 2011.

    A gta in the west. That's bad? No, quite the opposite. The John Marston story is a journey in every sense.

    The John Marston story is a journey in every sense.
    As the rest of the characters know him, we know him too, his new friends, people who ask him for favors in exchange for helping him, who betray him, his family and his gang.

    The game takes you around the map through the story in an incredible way that feels like separate chapters, each with a lot of personality.

    The main characters, the secondary characters that are as good as the first ones, the secondary missions with various missions, the random events, collectibles, everything is at the highest level of rockstar and the west is felt everywhere.

    The first ending of a video game that made me cry and its last mission that made me laugh and redeem us

    Incredible details again in rockstar like the blood darkens and the crows arrive, different dialogues if the mission is failed, a b.s.o. constant and that each song could be the main one. Now you can repeat missions like in tbogt.

    It has some beautiful landscapes with a typical western lighting, The horse feels great for its time with a forceful gameplay. The physics are as good or better than in gta iv and better i.a.

    It never came out for pc but if you didn't play it in its day, buy a ps3, xbox 360, ps now, xbox one s, s / x series but play it.

    Another rockstar masterpiece. In addition, the online with less content than the current ones managed to be even better with those missions, and modes and the goty version cannot be missing in your collection    … Expand

    Story 10/10. At the very beginning it seems a little lackluster, but after some time you just cannot stop playing.

    Gameplay feels outdated, but killing hundrend of soulless dummy npcs like come kind of a superman is somewhat fun.

    provavelmente o 3º jogo mais realista do ps3.
    A história merece um filme ou uma merce adaptada
    Os controles não são inovadores mas respondem muito bem
    O unico contra que eu tenho é que o john morreu :(

    I found myself completing the stranger missions (Side quests) because of how unique all the characters were, yes some were fetch quests but the story is worth completing them. The characters you meet all leave a lasting impression no matter how brief the encounter. A few of my favorites were a crazy old grave robber, a cannibal & a snake oil merchant.

    I played this on release and recently replayed it after playing the second installment, and it's just as good as I remember it. You can easily spend 50+ hours on this game, and once you complete that you could move onto the DLC zombie title Undead nightmare.    … Expand
