Game Review: Red Dead Redemption

So last week, I completed the game, “Red Dead Redemption”, a cowboy Western game, by the same makers of “Grand Theft Auto”, Rockstar. I must say it was a pretty good game. Not the best ever, but it was fun. What I liked most about the game was the plot. The storyline was cool.

Dissapointing things about the game are: The Gameplay and the length of the game. What I didn’t like about the gameplay? I thought the missions were a bit too easy. The only mission that was hard for me that was a bitch to get by was when you had to save your corn in the Silo from getting eaten by the crows at Abigail’s house, that was the only mission I kind of had trouble on, but the rest of the game was a piece of cake. Plus the game was too short and could have been longer. That’s why it was so quick for me to complete the game.

The game is set in 1911, tells the story of John Marston, a former outlaw who used to be in a gang that was led by a man named Dutch (one of the main villains of the game). John was taken away from his family. John has a wife named Abigail and a son named Jack. Now John is out to seek two men, Bill Williamson and Escuela, who John used to be friends with in the gang. John used to be a criminal, but now that he is married and have a son, he have turned to good. John is out for revenge at his former gang and wants to return to Abigail and Jack to live a normal life again.

I won’t spoil the rest of the game, but the game actually has a very sad ending to it. Most games don’t end in a sad way like this. Most action adventure games end with a happy ending, but this one ended with a sad ending. There is a bit of a twist and a shock to the ending of this game. And to give you a hint at what happens at the game, again, I won’t spoil it just a clue, it looks like we’re going to play Jack Marston in the sequel. Not John.

John Marston is one badass character though, probably one of the best game characters ever created.
