GAMER: Red Dead Redemption

Howdy Partners, get out your six shooters as we’re in for some bounty hunting, deer hunting, damsels in distress and poker fun. Not to forget cattle rustling and helping the Marshall get his posse together in the latest addition of Red Dead Redemption to my Xbox game collection.

Made by Rockstar games, the same crew that brought you the GTA franchise, Red Dead Redemption is their first game in a rural setting and if you like Western games this is by far the best one in recent years. Game play or the layout of the game is what is referred to as a sandbox style game which basically means big open map. You can explore this map as you like and go where ever you choose, all while doing your choice of plot and/or side missions all in your own time. In game I should probably spend more time out on the trail completing missions than at the poker table but what ya gonna do, I’m a sucker for the turn in texas hold em.

All the tools of the wild west are at your disposal, pistols, rifles, knives and even your fists for fighting, the lasso is a personal favorite allowing your character to rope a person and even go as far as hog tying his ass and drag him behind you horse or carriage for transport back to the sheriff for collection of a bounty.

Glitches, yes there are a few but what game doesn’t have them at some point. This is a game for people who like to spend time in game, explore your surroundings and get immersed in the world to really enjoy it as a whole. The game can get completed quickly but in my mind if it was any easier it would take all the fun out of playing it. Now I’m off to the tavern for a drink and to see if any of these whores will get there gear off, fingers crossed for a tit-tie glitch…Yee Haw

    Between putting a damsel in distress on train tracks (yes, you can do that, google it) and saving a “lady of the night” from a would-be attacker by shooting him – then having her pay you, this game’s got me hooked. Amazon.com purchased and shipped.

    By the way, welcome Adam! Great review!
