I only played it for 8 hours before sending it back to GameFly, and I didn't enjoy it one bit. The first few hours are just a ranch simulator, and the few gunfights were nothing special. The optional stuff didn't do for me either. I found hunting animals boring, poker was too slow for my liking, and finger filler or whatever it's called was awful. So was duel.
Bounty hunting was cool, but the sad part is that you have to rid your horse through the dull land to capture the guy. Seriously, RDR's world is just a dull, flatland. There's no interesting places to explore, and nothing interesting happens while you're riding your horse. Yeah, sometimes you'll meet civilians, but the tasks they ask you to do quickly get repeated. And I didn't find it worth doing those tasks since all you got was like 5 fame and a few dollars.
