One of my favorite games on the 360. With an oversaturation of shoot-em-ups and strategic quest games; RD felt refreshing original as a western with a story and a somewhat open-world to explore and hunt. To this day, the only game I've done the extras for because I wanted all the outfits. Dead-eye makes you feel like a complete badass. Not a lot of playback value for the open-world is quite sparse and there isn't a lot to do besides riding your horse and hunting. For me, it's all about the story and in that regard Red Dead delivers. Overall a solid must-play game.

I wanted to play and finish this because I wanted to have a greater impact before going into Red Dead Redemption 2. Playing this in 2020 was rough as the sub-HD on the PS3 version was very tough on the eyes.

Due to this, I really only stuck to the main missions and the story still holds up excellently. The gameplay is not very varied with 99% of the missions consisting of either shooting people on foot, while on horseback or while mounting a Gatling gun.

The clear best part of the game was hunting Van Der Linde and your encounters with him. Although most people loved the part in Mexico, I actually found it to be one of the weaker parts of the game.

I think the biggest tragedy is that this never got a PC release so I could play this game with better graphics settings. If you have the opportunity, play on the Xbox One X.

Despite the action of the game I found the story itself very cliché and undoubtedly a very repetitive game throughout the acts which disappointed me a bit because it was the game of the year 2010. So I just focused on the main quests of the game since I was feeling bored with this game.

This is one of my all time favorite games. It has a great online presence and there is so much to complete. I would definitely replay several times!

360 sign-in on X1 was being a pain. Luckily it has sorted itself out so I can go back to playing this. Enjoying it too. I don't think I'd get the second one though. Rockstar games aren't really my cup of tea which is why I'm surprised I'm enjoying this one so much.

After playing, and loving, Fallout 3 and the Bioshock series, this game was recommended to me by a friend. I was immensely disappointed in the world, which lacked diversity, had repetitive quests, and the characters were dull. Also, the protagonist cannot swim or even tread water - completely ridiculous!

The choice of camera angles are terrible; so you're pretty much stuck watching the same character animations without ever fully entering the world of RDR. When I play a game, I want to escape into that realm and this style of game play felt cold and unrewarding.

I will give this game another try at some point, so It's possible that I will adjust my score higher.

Not a fan.....takes to long to get going and the story hasn't really griped me. I'll probably give it another shot but not looking great thus far.
