    Virtually unplayable. I can't even get halfway through the game without it locking up because of too many zombies being spawned. Can't get anything done with this game anymore. Gave up on it like 4 hours into it. Shame because I was loving it up until that point. Play the base game, avoid this dlc like the plague.

    Just finished Red Dead Redemption and absolutely loved it. Then I started the Undead Nightmare DLC. This is amazing. a totally new story, same characters, alternate reality from the original story. make sure you 've played the main campaign first, as Undead Nightmare will give you some spoilers for the main game.

    How the hell can they leave this completely unplayable? The DLC is completely riddled with gamebreaking bugs. The DLC doesn't even look like it would have been any good without the bugs. This has got to be the most disappointed I have ever been with a game after how great the core game was.

    Red Dead Redemption: Undead Nightmare Pack is as phenomenal as its base game. The story, characters, and gameplay are all top-notch. There are, however, way too many bugs.

    Red Dead Redemption: Undead Nightmare
    DLC Done Right, but gameplay done wrong.
    Undead Nightmare has John Marston setting out to stop a zombie apocalypse, The setup is great, zombies are attack your home, you run out into town to see it’s been over run, you’re given a torch and told to go cleanse a graveyard, its feels epic and like your are in for an insane zombie slaying adventure.

    The setup is great, zombies are attack your home, you run out into town to see it’s been over run, you’re given a torch and told to go cleanse a graveyard, its feels epic and like your are in for an insane zombie slaying adventure.
    That’s not what you get though.
    My favorite part of undead nightmare is its mythical creatures, there are Sasquatch that roam the forest and apocalyptic horses you can break and take for your own all with their own special perks.
    War for example can catch enemies on fire with contact.
    This however is really the only good the DLC has to offer.
    The thing Undead Nightmare does right is that it does feel like its own game, it isn’t just add on, it’s something new and can stand on its own.
    This isn’t cover based shooting like in red dead redemption though, this is survival based shooting.
    But Undead Nightmare does an absolutely horrible job with game progression and level design.
    Undead nightmare is massively repetitive.
    When you get to a town you have to rid it of all zombies so you can sleep there and restock ammo, at first this is fun slaying a hoard of zombies to reclaim a town, but after about the 3rd town it’s no longer fun and becomes grindy.
    Zombies take forever to kill no matter what weapon outside of the blunderbuss you use excluding head shots, making gameplay unsatisfying.
    And you do a lot of zombie cleanup both in towns and in cemeteries.
    The story has you cleaning cemetery after cemetery, town after town, it gets boring fast.
    The game also does a horrible job with story progression.
    I’m not sure if main missions are bugged out or not, but unlike in Red Dead Redemption, some story missions won’t unlock until you’ve done a certain side mission which quite frankly makes no sense…
    Why not just make every mission a main mission if you’re going to force me to play them anyway.
    There are so many side missions I didn’t care about doing such as getting a zombie for a movie, but if I wanted to continue the story I had to, and having to do side missions isn’t really the part that bugs me, the part that bugs me is that you aren’t told to do them.. Which gives you a panicked feeling of maybe the game is broken because it doesn’t feel like you’d need to do a meaningless mission to continue.
    The concept of undead nightmare is great, and the first couple hours are mesmerizing,
    but the weapons aren’t over powering enough to make this survival style of gameplay satisfying and by hour 2 of 6, if not earlier, you’re just ready for this undead nightmare to be over.

One real big problem is the new fustrating glitches. One when I was ready to watch a cut scene and all I see is a black screen with people talking, very annoying. Now multiplayer wise, we got this survival mod witch you must survive eaves and waves of undead hordes of zombies, sometimes even tense cand great game mode.

    Red dead redemption is an awesome game, but this undead nightmare is just a pack of expansion that should be able to download for free and not to resell as another game, the game is good but is the same places, same people, same game, just with a few new toys, missions and enemies that just get boring after a few hours, so I feel I paid twice for one game.

Oh, and I forgot to mention, the voice acting and mouth syncing is superb, although some of the sound effects could use some work. My last complaint is the ending seemed a little flat and the last level was extremely easy. There are a lot of hilarious side quests too, that in my opinion are a lot more fun than the side quests in the original game. The flaws of this game are too few and far between to do a lot to hinder this game, it was a fantastic play and I enjoyed it a lot. Expand

    Undead Nightmare changes what you come to expect from DLC. In changing the entire game world, UN creates a fully-fledged alternate story that makes great use of existing characters by seeing what effect this strange situation would have on their lives. New side missions are also added along with new multiplayer modes. The value on offer here is incredible and well worth it.

    It was fine but a bit too expensive if you ask me. Boring and repetitive mission objectives and its over rather quickly as well. If you really love RDR then you will enjoy it but other then that, I would pass on it.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Awesome Awesome Awesome Awesome. I've bought a lot of DLC in the past 2 years but this & Bad Company 2:Vietnam have had the most bang for their buck in my opinion. Undead Nightmare is a whole new game. I was a little put off by how easy some of the bosses were to defeat (Mordecai,Drew McFarlane), but then I was attacked by a horde & 3 zombie Grizzly Bears so I'd say if you're for a challenge the game will definitely serve you up one. Same great game, but with zombies. The horses start possessed, but eventually you notice that the infected horses handle a little bit better sometimes than the ones in the original RDR. For the price I would highly recommend picking this up. If you haven't played the first one don't fret. This whole game is kind of like an alternate universe to the first Red Dead game. You don't have to play the first one to understand this one, but just because you played the first one won't make the story that much better. Expand

    R* is the DLC king of games.

    Every dlc has as much effort and focus put into it as the retail game.

    This is one of the best zombie games i've ever played. 800 Microsoft points get's you a lot with this pack.
    Plus everytime you get out of a saved city, the landscape becomes dreary, nightmare-ish, and dark.
    Landscape=AWESOME
    Gameplay= Spot on!
    Atmosphere= GREAT!
    Rockstar made this also seem like a very cheesy horror movie.

    Those who can't get enough of Red Dead's wild west action or zombies might want to give Undead Nightmare a spin. There's a lot of game here for 800 Microsoft points, and while it's rarely as compelling as the main title, there's still some fun to be had in watching John Marsten shoot zombies in the head.

    Undead Nightmare may sound gimmicky at first, but it quickly becomes clear that Rockstar spared no expense creating what is arguably one of the best DLCs of all time. It's not just the sheer amount of content that's included, but also the method in which said content drastically renovates the Red Dead experience in an exciting and meaningful way.
