Was it really that good? in a nutshell............. NO.

Just like GTA IV all it had going for it were high production values, but overall the gameplay was poor and clunky, even walking was retarded, and the less said about horse riding play the better.

I got over 600G's for it and completed the game, so i am not making this judgement based on playing the game for only a couple of hours or so.

Sorry, but i don't even consider it to be best western game out there either.

I would give that award to GUN on xbox/ps2.

Now THATS a fun game to play.

 


The horses were animated well, but yes try anything beyond following the road and ugh the frustration. Shooting from the horse always ends up in turning around somehow. Walking through a gate on a horse is just as bad as trying to walk through a door. Sliding off a cliff when a boar comes charging at you wtf. Plain running off a cliff if you just miss the bridge. It's like you're riding a deaf blind horse, but then it suddenly jumps over the fence you're riding next to.

At least it had the decency to break my fall of a cliff a couple of times. Although after a wolf pushed my horse off a cliff it left me stranded on a rock with nowehere to go then into the instant death water.

Great times.

It was alright, probably deserves GOTY but this year has been very weak for games overall.

I disagree firmly, finding 2010 to be a step over 2009.

- With HEAVY RAIN, God of War III, RDR, Final Fantasy XIII, WAKE, Halo: Reach, Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, Black Ops, Gran Turismo 5, Mass Effect 2, Super Mario Galaxy 2, DKC:R, & Goldeneye, this year had a lot of goodness. I expect 2011 to walk all over it, however.

That said, I can understand why RDR is winning GOTY awards, even if it wasn't one of my top 5 personal GOTY candidates.

Heavy Rain and Final Fantasy XIII were love it or hate it, God of War 3 was inferior to God of War 2, Assassins Creed Brotherhood was inferior to Assassins Creed 2, Black Ops was inferior to Modern Warfare 2, Gran Turismo 5 and Golden Eye were a disappointment, Super Mario galaxy 2 and Donkey Kong Country Returns are more of the same.

Its been a crap year.

LOL. It's the best year of this gen.

And yes, RDR is a fantastic game.

Incredible game. Almost everything from GTA IV has been improved and certainly deserves every single GOTY award it gets.



It was fine at first, but it got SO BORING after a while.
I traded-it in before finishing. 
I think it is hyped because it comes from Rockstar.

The thing that gets to me is that a lot of people are raving about it. 
Like the random events.  They were always the same...always.
And getting from one place to another was getting old very, very fast.

In the end, I believe that Assassin's Creed Brotherhood is a much better game.
I hope it will get GOTY awards.

I beat RDR a few weeks ago. Quite honestly, I didn't care for it.

I wouldn't even consider it for GOTY.


same for me.

the only thing i REALLY liked was the top notch voice acting. other than that it got boring really fast. didn't come close to finish it. better than GTA4, but still only average to me.



RDR is better than you think
