Red Dead Redemption Review

It's very seldom that a game that makes you shout "YEE-HA!" roll's into town but with that there Red dead redemption it's just a phenomenal game. Now putting the western speak aside, Red dead redemption is a truly ground breaking game.
To start with the graphics in Red dead are astounding. The scenery is just astounding and although at first glance it may appear to be repetitive the scenery is quite varied from snowy mountains to forrests to completely desolate canyons. The characters and creatures look realistic and believeable with over 60 different species of animals to hunt. Even every gunshot makes a character react differently with a shot to the leg with a revolver forcing him to get on the ground and writhe in agony and a shot to the chest with a shotgun forcing him to fly back with the sheer force of the shot.
The story of Red dead is a definite western story. The story puts you in the boots of John Marston, an ex-gang member who tries to put his blood-soaked and guilt-ridden past behind him but things don't go quite like he planned. The missions are always interesting and you can replay them, which i always enjoy.
The gameplay in Red Dead is absolutely brilliant. It's shooter elements are amazing and feels less clumsy than rockstar's previous game Grand theft auto 4. Other aspects of the game make the gameplay diverse from racing to cattle herding to poker. You feel completely free to do what you want in the brilliant world.
Finally, Red dead's multiplayer is, in my opinion, the funnest on the market. The multiplayer is almost like a down-sized MMO. The gang hideout's serve as dungeons or raids, the posse's serve as guilds and the game types serve as PVP.
In conclusion, Red Dead Redemption is one of the best games on the market right now and is a guaranteed must-buy.
