Man, what a game. Grand Theft Auto meets The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly. I finished the single player storyline last night and must say that it was thoroughly enjoyable—an amalgamation of just about every Western ever imagined. The scope of the game is immense. You travese just about every terrain imaginable: snow capped mountains, barren desert wastelands, and sprawling plains teeming with every imaginable threat. My first encounter with random fauna was a cougar (note the lower-case ) that immediately eviscerated my digital proxy. One of the interesting aspects of the game is the various levels of encounters: - Primary (levels that move the story-line forward)
- Secondary (minor levels that embellish the story-line that act as segues to major plots)
- Tertiary encounters (micro levels that may have multiple acts that fill out the mythology/personality of each region)
- Peripheral encounters (my favorite, micro levels that do really do nothing but give life to the world—chance encounters that shape your character in the world of Red Dead.)
This is so deep in features that it really does not surprise me that it's taken nearly 5 years to produce this game. There are many a diversion built-in that allow you to do anything from hunting, playing poker/blackjack/liar's dice to horseshoes as well as bounty hunting. And the graphics are astounding, as is the music—a mix of classic Western-style twanging mixed with retro Spaghetti Western flourishes. And the on-line multiplayer is really something. You can form your own posse with your buddies, or just go crazy in free mode and travel the entire map with no restrictions. As you gain experience during your on-line encounters, you unlock better mounts and character avatars. The only thing I wish RD:R had was the option to run your own Ranch on-line and allow for stealing horses/cattle from your neighbors... but that begins to cross over into World of Warcraft territory. There really is just too much depth to this game to write about everything. I highly recommend getting this game. One thing I wish is that Microsoft and Sony would open their on-line services and allow Rockstar to bridge the platforms so Xbox users can play alongside their PS3 brethren.

I concur with your findings Manny! Awesome game. I don't know how people finish games like this and Fallout 3 in a week or two though. I spend so much time just screwing the pooch and just farting around (now those would be some disgusting mini-games) that I just got my lasso last night!
Anywho, as a fan of westerns, this really gets it right. From the scenery to the characters and especially the score. LOVE the music. Between this, Deadwood and the Jonah Hex comic, I should be able to soothe any misgivings I have about the Jonah Hex movie. : )

I actually have the game completed around the 90-95% mark (as far as the single player goes) and I've had the game almost a week. The rest I have to complete are challenges and such. I literally blazed through it... which I feel guilty about now that I think about it. Usually I take a good month to go through games of this depth. For me, it really got compelling near the last 1/3rd of the story, and damn-near heartbreaking at the end. But the funny part is that I got quite attached to the region RD:R introduces you to. It became my neighborhood... meeting people, forming relationships and then they move you on to the next ones. Unlike Grand Theft Auto, you don't really feel restricted. It really feels open—in GTA they close sections of the city off until you reach a certain point in the game. I'm sure they did the exact same thing with RD:R, but I never noticed it... it wasn't heavy handed; I didn't feel like I was being corralled.
