The best game I have played on the Ps3 to date...
It starts out you playing as a bounty hunter/cowboy named John Marston. The goverment took his family from him and told him if he doesn't take out a gang (that Marston used to be caught up in and got out of it) they will keep his family away from him forever.
So now you have to hunt down the gang and finish it. I thought the story was interesting. But the story isn't the best part. There is so much to do that it would take up your whole week or even year. I spent the first 10 hours getting outfits, hunting boar, deer, ect.
Rockstar did a great job with the graphics, the combat, and everything else. Lets begin with the graphics. They are the best openworld graphics I have ever seen, there are a few bugs, like the horse always getting stuck so very easily, but I don't care the game is so good it doesn't matter. Some of the side characters are kinda bad looking, but hey they can be bad, the scenery is just breath taking. It goes from your normal New Austin kinda desert, then into your skin burning heat of Mexico, and than to the bone chilling forests of Blackwater. Everything feels so perfect. The towns are amazing also.
Now lets talk about the gameplay, there are tons of things to shoot, animals, bandits, or even normal citizens. My favorite part of the gameplay is hunting, its so fun. And it feels so real. Sometimes the animals feel a little "lifeless" but the cougar is amazing as well as the horses. When I go into a gang camp, it is fun to take them all out especially when you use your deadeye. Sometimes my horse doesn't listen to me and I get a lot of cheap deaths. But its a load of fun.
Playing poker is a load of fun also, this game is just sooooo good! The main plot takes around 30 to 40 hours, I haven't played online yet, but once I do I'm probably going to tack on another 40 hours. This game is the best game of the generation.
