So Red Dead Redemption has been out for a while, but hey why not give a review. So, in this game you play as John Marstin forced by the U.S. government to catch your old gang members who left you for dead after being shot. As the game opens you march up to the fort one member is in and shot yet again, there you are saved by a southern bell and so begins your journey. The story is a long and enjoyable journey with many twists and turns along the way. Though I let out a faint, "What the hell!", at the end of the game.
If you've played and enjoyed GTA IV you'll be right at home with the gameplay. For the most part the controls are easy to master and understand, but I fell the auto aim was a little over the top but hey thats why theres expert mode. Thats the other thing for the first time Rockstar has put dificulty levels in its game. As for lag I had almost no slow down issues in single player. As for a "game changer" Red Dead brings Dead Eye where you slow down time and pick where you wish to shoot someone. Its quite fun to shoot the hat off a man's head and then the gun out of his hand.
As for graphics they are top notch with little quirks here and there, and thats all I need to say.
Now for multiplayer, thats where my issues stand. Every so often there is lag, but its mostly coming from my horrible internet. However the auto aim is way over the top in most modes unless you go to an expert mode. But learn the best places on a map and the kills will be drowning you in experience points. As for this new thing called Free Roam where you go before a multiplayer match its the single player map, but here you can do challenges and kill everything and anything for XP. This is probably the best part of multiplayer to me as you can create possies and start killing random players for fun.
So heres my rankings:
Story: 10/10
Gameplay: 9/10
Graphics: 10/10
Multiplayer: 9/10
Buy it? Oh hell yes! The only Wild Side you'll be showing is how fun it is to kill Mexicans and Indians.
