There are 5 things that are superb in Red Dead Redemption:

1) The Environments are beautiful and detailed. I have the PS3 version and I've seen the 360 Version and in all honestly I see no difference between the two versions. It's graphically beautiful and the difference between night and dawn, morning and noon are phenomenal.

2) The Voice Acting is so incredible. Seriously, I usually don't care about VA as long as the game is good but man, the accents, tone and everything is just executed so well.

3) Gameplay is frickin awesome. Like Dead Eye gameplay is really fun. Some people consider using Dead Eye 'cheating' but it really does add more fun to the game.

4) Free Roaming is ridiculously good. Seriously all I need to say is the Multiplayer is totally awesome. Nuff Said.

5) It's worth your money. You can spend hours and hours doing all the variety of things Red Dead Redemption has to offer.

Well i like to kill all the people in a town and get chassed by the sheriffs. lol

Its funy.

O rkilling animals r getting drunk in the bar dor tying people up and leaving them on the train track.

It is like a PS2 GTA with HD graphics set in The western.

And mek me tell ya 1 ting right. It is better then dat pice of sumtink that is nuff nuff worse then shit Gta IV.

I remember playing it on the PS3 and all the textures just went away. He didnt have a face or nothing. No ground texture it was kinda funny tbh

Imagine the best game you ever played. Now double it. Now you're about halfway to understanding just how good it is.

In my opinion, it shits all over every GTA game released the past three years or so and its easily the best game Rockstar have ever made (yes, better than GTA SA and VC).

I think we may have a winner. The most enthusiastic post so far.

Would you care to explain why is is so good? (Tell me other great games you have played)

Oh wait... this is even better...

Are you saying that is better than SA and VC? Geee...

Care to elaborate? Thanks!

You can easliy get lost in the game. I used to just explore in the begining not doing missions finding adventure along the way. If you do everything you could put in way more than fifty hours. I didn't even try the online play yet and I still think this game is one of my favorites ever, better than most of the GTA games (barely).

GOTY contender for sure.

Huge world, John Marston is so much better than Niko Bellic, missions are not as repetitive as in GTA IV, believable random encounters, better side missions, animal variety (incredibly detailed), hunting is fun, horse riding is fun, memorable ending, better checkpoint system, fast travel option, Dead Eye and so on

9.5/10

EDIT: forgot the ultra funny glitches :D

To me i'd give Red Dead Redemption a 8/10, it is a good game but to me the main storyline missions get VERY repetative. The graphics are good, and i like the voice acting it doesnt seem fake or anything, and the whole environment of the map is very 'beleivable' so yes a good game butm nothing special.
