My obsessive need to be a completist means I'm taking another go at beating Revolver so I can finally start Redemption at some point.

Read moreMy obsessive need to be a completist means I'm taking another go at beating Revolver so I can finally start Redemption at some point. I remember being shocked as a middle schooler that any Rockstar game would get just OK reviews upon release, and for years wondered why RDR received ~7.5 from GameInformer. I'm around halfway through and the answer is obvious: it's about the most straightforward and unimaginative western game you could imagine. Nothing noteworthy about the gunplay or even the story. It's shockingly linear with only a passing attempt at a living hub area. The presentation, however, is top-notch, with everything heavily stylized and scenarios designed to recreate iconic shootouts and situations from the genre. All of that makes it a nice palate cleanser in today's age of muchness. I'm liking having a dumb action game where I don't need to think at all in between play sessions of whatever modern game I have going at the moment.

I played this game years ago about the same time I played GUN. Comparing those two, this one is the lesser, but I still enjoyed it. The story is pretty basic, a bounty hunter seeking revenge, but you do get to meet lots of entertaining characters that are memorable. The game does drip with Spaghetti Western goodness too.

I played this game years ago about the same time I played GUN. Comparing those two, this one is the lesser, but I still enjoyed it. The story is pretty basic, a bounty hunter seeking revenge, but you do get to meet lots of entertaining characters that are memorable. The game does drip with Spaghetti Western goodness too.
As far as the gameplay, any time you are presented the chance to buy a health upgrade take it, don't try to save up your money for something down the road. The last levels get tough without those upgrades, but even with them, I remember the Bridge level and some of the final stages being brutal. The gunplay is solid and the bosses all present unique challenges.
