Diehard GameFAN Review: Red Dead Redemption

Diehard GameFAN writes: "I’m going to start out by saying that, unlike the rest of the world, Rockstar titles have never intrigued me all that much. Still reading? Okay, good. Perhaps it is because both hype and controversy tend to mask what really should be important in a game in the first place, and that is the gameplay. I’m not a fan of Grand Theft Auto, Smuggler’s Run was a bland experience for me, and I’ve never had the interest to try Bully or Manhunt. There is one exception to my apathy for Rockstar’s lineup, and that is the Max Payne games. Their use of film noir storytelling combined with bullet time gameplay created one of the most enjoyable, albeit short, experiences I’ve had on a console during the last generation, and I look forward to the next one."
