Great Game,Amazing Visual Design,Superb Gameplay,Controversial Ending.
so basically it is made for 18+ gamers.
the main character is John Marstone,he was once an outlaw who was chased by the government and finally he got caught.so it seems that the government have made john go after the other gang members that were once close friends with john,but they stabbed john in the back,so now john has every right to go after them.
on the other hand john's family is at risk,somehow john is forced to go after his old friends and gang members,dont forget john WAS once an outlaw.
OK, we have to be honest if we want to have a great review here,the game starts so dull,that at some point i had to rethink of playing at certain times.but as we go forward it offers a more
intensive and exciting gameplay and more things to be happy about.
there are a lot of missions and side missions in red dead redemption,and this on its own is a thumbs up for gamers.the graphics that we are seeing in red dead redemption is close to GTA IV but if you look closer and maybe compare both of these games you will see that,red dead redemption has a much better graphic on,and has been worked on, maybe a bit more than GTA4.
as we all know Rockstar is a game developer company known for its sandbox types of games,and it started with GTA and made a revolution by bringing the GTA into GTA3,then worked on its sandbox games such as bully.
the first time rockstar made a western title was the red dead revolver, that was not a sandbox and was mostly testing out the featues possibe to make an open world game made in the western days.this time they came back with red dead redemption,a sandbox with the wild west theme, around 19
hundred.history aside i wanted to focus more on the storyline of the game and maybe more about the features.
the story has a lot of twists in it,and is not similar to the GTA titles that are in the same category known as sandbox.you can see that they have worked so many hours on the design.also the
gameplay can keep up too,the design is done amazingly and feels so real.the sound effects are as real as it gets,now if you try out all the different guns and just listen to each one,they all have
different sounds when shooting,that shows how much they have worked on this game.
each gun also has its own individual characteristic.you can even try them out your selves and see if i am wrong.great work on guns in here.
you even have a lasso that allows you to get hold of people and tie them up or even get horses and so on.
there are activities in every settlements and town,activities are,playing poker,blackjack,you can go hunting and skin animals and then come to local stores and sell them,you can go find different flowers and also sell them.there is arm wrestling,playing horse shoe game,there is a game called liar's dice,there is also a 5 finger fillet game that you have to stab the knife in between
your fingers in a patter on the table.
all of these games that i mentioned you have to bet on and either win money or lose money,there are around 14 different outfits that you can either just get them by playing the story
mission,or you have to do scraps on different tasks to win the outfit,the last outfit that you win
needs a 100% complete on the game and it is the government's outfit.
there are a lot of activities waiting to be done in this great game.like other game by rockstar you can buy properties around different cities and places.you can get different types of horse fast ones included.you can buy the newspaper and read about what is happening around the world in the game.
the ending has alot to say,and it is the most controversial ending for a game i have seen.
Although some like the ending and some dont,it was really worth playing it,what a great game.this game is available for PS3,Xbox360,and PC if you are into the sandbox genre, this one is made for you.
iam still concerned about the the ending...
