Red Dead Redemption is the latest game from Rockstar, makers of the ever-popular Grand Theft Auto series. It’s released on the PS3 and Xbox 360 this week, and the first reviews are now hitting the Web.
This is a video review that has the advantage of being able to back up platitudes by showing footage of relevant parts of the game. All three reviewers are impressed with Red Dead Redemption.
I’ve yet to see Red Dead Redemption given a bad review, with most people appearing to love the graphics, gameplay, and style. This despite, or maybe because of, the game essentially being GTA set in the Wild West.
The Wild West has never really had a good video game, but it looks as Red Dead Redemption may be that game. The sandbox style seems perfectly suited to the environment, and this is a game that should appeal to a wide range of people.
I’m buying Red Dead Redemption. Are you?
