How long would Red Dead keep a normal gamer satisfied (if at all)?

In your opinion, is the game cool? I've read the reviews but I'm just curious to see what you all say.

It looks pretty good, it's rather large and lengthy (or so they say).... is it worth it to give it a wirl or is it just word of mouth?

40-50 hours, if you play MP. 20-30 for strictly single player.

It probably took me about 40 hours in total to plat the game. =\

I didn't like it, story is good but Rockstar is just not good at aiming systemsthey rely too much on auto-aim. i made the mistake of switching between red dead and uncharted 2, the great aiming system uncharted had really destroyed red dead for me.. everytime i tried to free aim in red dead i felt like i was playing mw2 and getting killed by a guy lunging halfway across the map. if you don't get the connection it means it was frustrating.
