Game Review: Red Dead Redemption

Basic Info:

Red Dead Redemption is a Open World, Third Person Shooter, Western game created by Rockstar that came out May 18, 2010 for the systems of PS3 and Xbox 360.

Story:

John Marston (Main Character) is an ex gang member and now if force to hunt down the man that he once called friends in exchange for his family being heald be the government the story starts in a town called Armadillo and you travel all around the United States and Mexico in the 1900's.

Gameplay:

Transport: since is the 1900's all there is to ride are horses which you can hunt down and capture or simply purchase from the store there are 3 Legendary horses that you can capture and trust me they look beautiful.

Outfits: there are a total of 13 outfits in the game and other outfits can be unlock with the purchase of DLC, some of the outfits have special things to them like Army's not being able to kill you, Poker cheating, Collecting 2x the hunting items you collect and many others is really cool to hunt in the game, but i will get to that later.

Weapons: There are many weapons in the game some good and some bad Revolvers, Pistols, Rifles, Shotguns, Rifles, Hunting Knife, Lasso, and Throwing Weapons there are about 4 to 6 different weapons in each category so there will be alot of choosing of what weapons best fit your style.

Hunting:There are a more than 40 animals that you can hunt from a simple rabbit to a dangerous Bear. I love hunting in the game that's how i made most of my money just hunting and selling the skins and other things you pick from some animals.

Activities:A total of 27 activities that you can do in the game some of them might be more important than other, but they still count. Poker, Blackjack, Arm Wrestling, Drinking, Hunting, Saving People, Robbing People, Dueling, Horsebreaking, Nightwatch, Gang Hideouts, are some of the things that i can remember from me doing and they all give or take honor and money so be careful what actions you take.

Multiplayer

XP: You have to level up of course what would be the point of Online if there's nothing to fight for. Killing the law, taking out hideouts, killing other players basically anything you do in online will gain you XP the highest level is 50 and reach Legend status.

Free Roam: This is like your lobby for the game from here you can roam around create posses with friends and take out gang hideouts or become most wanted which is really cool and very addictive if you can make a good posse.

Free For All Matches: Choose the option from free roam and jump to battle people in some modes like Shootouts where is Kill or Be Kill. This mode can be very good, but sometimes annoying when people are sniping and not playing a fair game.

Gang Matches: Choose the option from the free roam and get into team matches that are really fun to play, because you have backup with you all times unless your in a room of 3-1 which rarely happens.

DLC:

There are 4 packs of Downloadable Content for this game, but the most important one is Undead Nightmare which is like a complete game with zombies. It has a different story, new outfits, new horses, new weapons for the price of $10 that is very cheap for all add on content you get. (i have not gotten the chance to play the DLC my self, but i seen the playtrough)

Graphics:

The game looks incredible Rain, Snow, Sunny, Night everything looks awesome the characters dont change much from gameplay to story clips the graphics stay the same and overall looks amazing there is nothing much to say tan the game looks incredible.

Voice/Music:

The voice acting is really funny many jokes are involved, but when it comes to being serious the game does the job. All of the characters have something different about them and that is what makes them unique unlike other games where some characters sound exactly like others. Music is very smooth and fitting to the game many good soundtracks are in the game that just make you cry and smile at the same time and some just make you feel good about playing the game.
