Replay value enchanced by multiplayer
Inevitably, you'll also spend a lot of time in Red Dead Redemption on your horse, some of it involved in combat. If horse play had have been poorly implemented, Red Dead Redemption would have been a frustrating game to play, but thankfully it's practically perfect and the horses move naturally. During some of the missions where you're horse is so crucial to you, such as when you need to protect a train from would-be robbers, you'll really see how smoothly the horse riding mechanic is and how it plays its part in creating this authentic Wild West feel.As if the deep single player experience wasn't enough, Red Dead Redemption comes packed with a heavy set of multiplayer options, including Free Roam mode where you can take to horseback with a posse and roam the game world causing havoc. Alternatively, there's team based and capture the flag style modes along with many other options to get stuck into. With 50 levels to rise through and unlockable character skins, mounts, and titles there's a lot of incentive to keep you battling away online.
You shouldn't need any encouragement to play Red Dead Redemptionat all; it's a brilliant game both offline and online. The Wild West was always going to make a great backdrop for video games, but as Call of Juarez and Gun has proven in the past it’s a hard genre to master, until now that is. What Rockstar has created with Red Dead Redemption is game that will thrill fans of the Wild West with its true-grit, attention to detail, stunning visuals and mass variety. Quite simply put: this is the best Wild West game ever.
