Game Review: "Red Dead Redemption"

Release Date: 21 May 2010
Genre: Action/Adventure
Publisher: Rockstar Games
Developer: Rockstar San Diego

Single Player

The game takes place in old west when a foreign man arrives from a big city and is adapting himself to the countryside life. As it is a very big open world you could go hunt, help the lawmen of each city, help strangers that are all over the map or just follow the main storyline.
All that decisions will affect the John Marston´s( main character) honour( the type of actions that you do will influence the way people look at you). Fame is gained by doing greater things/ big challenges, and one funny thing is that when you achieve a very high level of game , the name of the main character will appear on the newspaper as a famous person , either honoured or not; if it honoured it will get discounts in general shops and people will ask you for help, however if it isn´t honoured John will get much troubles with lawmen and other characters will get money if they could kill or arrest him!

Multiplayer

The multiplayer is another amazing experience with many game modes like " free roam" where you can explore the entire world with other players and them up with them , or just have fun testing your skills and killing the remain players.
However, you can play " gold rush" ( there are two bags of gold and each player has to try to catch it and take it for his chest), so I advise you to experience all of them and after choose the one that suits best for the online experience that you wish to have.
The soundtrack has amazing music and the graphics are really good to so the most problematic thing about this game is deciding if you are going to play single player os multiplayer.
