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.
Rockstar Games had considered making Red Dead Redemption and GTA movies at one point, but had ultimately dropped the idea.
Both would make more sense as a series than as movies, though I think Red Dead would be far easier to adapt.
RDR would be a great movie. If they allowed Martin Scorsese to work on it, I think it would be outstanding.
RDR would work really well. From the GTA universe, IV would work really well because of how gritty and realistic the story is.
RDR 1 was a great game, but the lack of screen time for some characters, boring horse riding, and lack of mission variety takes away the fun at times.
Yeah
It's as good as you remember
Feels like one of those "10 HARSH realities of Re-watching" articles
I love how it seems a extreme few remember that red dead redemption is red dead revolver 2.
red dead revolver now that is rough red dead redemption for its time was groundbreaking and it still has way better cover system/dlc/mp content then red dead 2.
I remember all the bugs the game had day one like donkey lady so dam funny
@caca
I know i said that
Oh boy let me guess no one here knows what red dead revolver is
Or you all never played version 1.0 of rdr 1 i bet its that so many on here have the stench of being in gaming for 10 years at most.
Stop pretending being superior in knowledge to everyone else..
The article title is about RDR1 and the thumbnail also confirma that. No one (at least i dont) care about what you say about RDRev.
You are the only one who spoke off topic abt another game.
If it makes you glad that you are the only one who knows what RDRev is then congratulations.. just pathetic
“ red dead revolver now that is rough red dead redemption for its time was groundbreaking and it still has way better cover system/dlc/mp content then red dead 2.”
Oh and thanks for the laugh ..
Looken
It was made by Capcom until they gave up and R* bought the IP. Hopefully one day we get a complete remake of the original to bring it in line with rest of the series along with other quality if life features. Another great is Gun very under rated
On topic:
If we are going to compare RDR to current generation games then we will surly find some stuff that's lacking but for it's time it was a masterpiece and for me it's one of the best games I have ever played. I hope it ends up on Pc where nodding community can take full advantage and make the game even better. Other than that's no it's not overrated at all. We don't even get that many western games and it's to me the best one (yes better then RDR2)
@neutralgamer1992
Really so that gaint R symbol on the box is just a myth

@all
the disagrees with actual evidence just shows how many on this site ignore truth fact.
It does but the game was made originally for ps2 back after san andreas so for the dev window and timeline it makes sense.
red dead revolver was back in 2004
https://www.gamesradar.com/...
after this they were making gta iv and a squeal that became read dead redemption
But you all will hate this because facts are scary
"Red Dead [Redemption] has been in production for six years (mainly because of horrible management/lack of direction due to fear of disrespecting Rockstar NY) and it will never get the money back in sales it cost to create for those six years," claimed another source.
From a 2010 article hmm what is 2010 - 6 hmmm
https://www.engadget.com/20...
The swimming in red dead one made sense for the time period and dev hell it was in
Again though it seems alot on here have 0 game knowledge before 2018.
Just looken
I could agree with you about the swimming part but I was swimming my ass off in San Andreas which pre dates
Either way it's not a deal breaker and the game was dope af
I liked it a bit better because I didn’t think it had many “small nitpicky” things RDR2 had that on its own meant nothing but when a lot built up it was annoying. For example getting off your horse and you had to reselect your weapons again or walking around the camp slowly. None issues but built up with others sometimes it was a little frustrating at times.
From school politics to ping-pong, pistols to police procedurals, let’s dive into the best that Rockstar has to offer.
10? nah.
Great game but definatly not a 10.
Is the gameplay better than GTAIV? Man that game was horrible to play. The controls were loose, the shooting inaccurate, and the targeting was a nightmare. The cover system was garbage. And don't even get me started in the horrendous hand-to-hand combat...
The driving was pretty good, I'll give it that, but the camera controls while you were driving were annoying as HELL (i.e.: STOP trying to re-center the camera for me when I'm adjusting it to properly see where I'm going up this hill--dumb effing game).
At the end of the day, NO game is worth playing if the gameplay isn't good, and I don't trust Rockstar to make good gameplay anymore after GTAIV.
Your scoring makes no sense
Graphics 9/10
Sound 8/10
Gameplay 9/10
Fun factor 10/10
Online 8/10
And you give it an overall of 10.............. correct me if i'm wrong but to get an overall of 10 shouldn't all of those scorings for graphics,sound,gameplay,fun factor & online get 10/10
Bit of a stupid scoring system you got there
Also your punctuations slightly 'dumb' in that review
Amazing game, but the glitches and annyoing pop in takes at least half a point off...If it didnt have that, I might give it a perfect 10.
