So much more than Grand Theft Auto, my first western and it has stolen my soul
Graphics: The best out right now, atleast top 10 out of all games at the moment. The blood shed looks good, everything feels westerny and unlike alot of games everything feels like it belongs in the game world, nothing out of place.
Gameplay: The gameplay is great, especially for a third person shooter. I am not going to say that its the best in any game because its only one genre, I would say in third person the only shooting game better is Gears of War, but that is just personal opinion. There is so much more to this game than shooting though, the world is big, the group mechanics are good, the online is amazingly fun I havent gotten to the story yet and spend alot of the time just running around with friends or people I meet. You can talk to people within a certain range of you, alot of people assume you will shoot them and they will try to shoot you first but you can usually talk with them and make peace. You start off with just a donkey to ride as a mount but you will get more later or you can kill NPC's and other players with horses. When you go into a match its alot like other shooting games, Free For All, Team Deathmatch, Capture the Flag, they are under different names but they are basically the same. The dead eye targeting is a great add to the game, though it would be find without it it is a good trick to have especially when faced with multiple enemies.
Guys I was negative on this game and wasnt planning on getting it, I am glad I did and if you are asking yourself whether to get it or not just get it and if you dont like it...sue me.
