Pro's:

- Sometimes looks nice.

- Voice acting is sometimes good.

Con's:

- Travelling between areas is boring.  You can "warp" from place to place if it's boring.  And for me, pretty much any time I'm going from place to place, somebody commits suicide, a fight is breaking out on the side of the road, someone is being hung or executed, somebody tries to steal my horse, animals attack, or something.  I rarely ever warp because I don't know what I'm gonna miss.

- Your basically an errand boy for the whole game, just doing what everyone else tells you to do and then acting as if your a bad ass in the process.  Understandable but this is basically the structure of every sandbox game from inFamous to Grand Theft Auto to Spider-Man.

- The mission structure is broken and confusing. 

- The map is useless.  Tells you where everything is, from subplots to stores to people in need to where animals are.  It even has a "GPS" like Saints Row and GTA 4.  I don't know how the map could be much better.  Any suggestions?  I mean, it even tells me where unique plants and dead animals are when I get close!

- The respect system is fucked up. Girl gets kidnapped, you shoot kidnapper, the whole fucking town goes insane and tries to kill the rescuer.  I'm going for a high respect rating and the only time I got a negative respect (and nobody tried to kill me.  I just lost some points) was when I hog tied a guy's wife.  I've shot and killed horse theives, guys in the middle of a fight, guys riding through town shooting guns into the air, and pretty much anybody doing wrong without a single incident.  As long as I don't pick on a totally innocent person, its all good.

- Can't swim. What is this, 1993?  I haven't tried yet, tbh.

- Shooting mechanics aren't that great.

- Riding behind or with people before missions. Look, I know they want to be like old Westerns with this little trait, but old Westerns also only did it once or twice, not five times every eight missions.

- The environments look all the same for like the first six hours, it doesn't help that they already looked bland to begin with.

- Horse is just as glitchy as the horse in Oblivion, neither were very stable.

I give the game a 3/10. 


I know that your opinion is your opinion and I should just let it stand but some of the things you said are just plain wrong. 

The things that are opinion, I didn't agree with (which is why they're called opinions, I guess) but I'm sure the vast majority of the world would disagree with them.  Then again, I spent an hour playing "Horseshoes" last night.......
