GTA Western Style
The controls are pure GTA with a horse instead of a car. Graphically enhanced, yet feels and plays that same as GTA. Of course, the game is upgraded in many areas besides graphics... as in depth, atmosphere and detail. Yet, it keeps reminding me of GTA. Again, not that GTA is a bad thing, but you better like the idea of a western spin, otherwise this loses steam quickly.
I would say the game starts kind of slow considering it's controls are so easy to master. It eases you into learning the basics and building on them. Missions can be fun and the level of detail into the story help this game very much.
However, if you do not like western style atmosphere then you will be hard pressed to keep playing... but, if you can abandon the sword or machine gun for a horse and pistol... you'll be at home with this stellar action adventure, open world game.
