Product Details

Red Dead Redemption is an open-world, third-person, action-adventure game set at the tail end of the American West West era. Action takes place in the first few years of the twentieth century and revolves around the choices that the protagonist, former outlaw John Marston, is forced to make due to his blemished past. The game features a morality system assigning honor and fame points generated through the player's choices. It also features Wild West themed mini-games, new targeting and cover systems, extensive horse riding abilities, a wealth of period specific weapons and more than 40 huntable animals.

Story

Red Dead Redemption is a Western epic, set at the turn of the 20th century when the lawless and chaotic badlands began to give way to the expanding reach of government and the spread of the Industrial Age. A follow up to the 2004 hit Red Dead Revolver, this game tells the story of former outlaw John Marston, taking players on a great adventure across the American frontier.
 

Gameplay

Red Dead Redemption is a third-person action-adventure game set a fictional open-world American Wild West environment for players to explore.

Along the way, players will experience the heat of gunfights and battles, meet a host of unique characters, struggle against the elements and animals of one of the world’s last remaining wildernesses, and ultimately pick their own precarious path through an epic story about the death of the Wild West and the gunslingers that inhabited it. In their travels throughout the territories of the gameworld players partake in a morality system built on honor and fame, where they gain or lose points in each area based on their actions. The game features an easy to use cover system, a variety of mounts and period specific weapons including a cattleman revolver, a mauser pistol, a repeater rifle, a sawed-off shotgun, a throwing knife, a lasso and more.

Product Reviews


Better than Grand Theft Auto

Grand Theft Auto was a huge game, both gameplay and sales wise, but RDR knocks it out of the park. Rockstar never made a world so alive and so fun to roam around. The story is really good and keeps you playing for well over 10 hours. That doesn't include all the side missions available. As with any GTA game, you can get real mileage out of RDR if you're set on seeing everything the game has to offer.

Stuff I liked:

Immersive and brutal world, Good story, Superb voice acting, Cool gameplay mechanics (red eye)

Stuff I disliked:

Missions can be too far apart making you travel for up to 10 minutes with your horse, Various glitches


£10m of sales in two days

Red Dead Redemption is proving that even in the middle of a recession, a minor heatwave, and with a shortage of supply for the PS3 version, they can still pull off an attention grabbing launch, generating £10m worth of sales in the first two days.

Read Dead Redemption (RDR) is produced by Rockstar Games, of Grand Theft Auto (GTA) fame, and firmly shows that Rockstar are no one trick pony. Put on top of this the fact that RDR, like GTA is an adult only content game and you can see how great games will generate great sales.
