If you like a good shooter, and you like a good western then you need this game
In "Red Dead Revolver" you play as a number of characters and all their stories intertwine. There are even good ole duels you can participate in. There is an excellent selection of weapons in the game including Long Arms, Side Arms and Hand Held weapons.
The story in this game is really just like any western you see at the movies. You are a bounty hunter out for revenge on the peopke who killed your family when you were a kid. To do so you must participate in a number of duels and boss fights. The first few boss fights however, do not really mean anything, they are just you working for the local sheriff. But later on in the game you become aware of the people who have done this to your family.
There is a great multiplayer part to this game and the journal just adds to replay value. So all up this is one game you need to check out. I recommend buy, but if you don't want to do that, I guess you'll just have to hire it out.
