Beware, this game may just take over your life!
Anyway onto the review, you play the character john marston who is on a mission to kill members from a gang which he was once a part of. I wont go into too much detail of the story, dont want to spoil it for you. The game is very similar to the GTA's except with a western theme, now i'll admit im not a huge western fan but i wouldn't let that put you off this great game. Now you dont have to follow the main storyline if you dont want to, there are many little missions to complete if you fancy a break from the main story. Also the missions seem alot easier on this game then on any of the GTA's, i havent had any problems completing the missions so far and im nearly finished the game. Like the GTA games you will be wanted if you shoot someone your not supposed to and the law will bring you to justice if you dont run away.
What i have been most impressed with in this game is multiplayer,i expected the load times to be terrible but theres hardly any problems at all there. In my opinion multiplayer is what makes this game so great, being in a posse is really fun. Getting shot down by random people is frustrating but again really fun. Playing with so many people is great and i havent noticed any lag at all which is fantastic considering how big this game is, the world is huge! I havent even been in some places yet. The music fits the game so well, i am really impressed by pretty much everything in this game so 10/10 and a pat on the back for rockstar!
*Edit- After finally finishing this game's main story i have realised that it is the best game iv ever played! My review doesn't do this game justice, it is amazing and a must for all gamer's! Having spent nearly 400hours on the mutiplayer alone i can safely say this was the best $60 iv ever spent. Its been nearly 2 years since this game came out and im still addicted to the multiplayer. It is a must buy for everyone!
