- Gameplay(out of 10)= 10
Red Read Redemption generally is one of the best games I played, the gameplay is very entertaining, I love the idea of playing in the Wild West, which gives the player to continuously discover new places, have more challenging missions, better and more amusing fight strategies, and the wild west theme gives the player new punishments, such as having a bounty on the player's head, which by the way makes it harder to shoot people and defend yourself, mainly because in the game almost every civilian has guns, and when there is a bounty on the player's head, almost everyone tries hunting the player down for the money, so obviously gave sandbox gameplay new opportunities and new tactics, but however, there is one minor glitch, and one minor error, the glitch being the fact sometimes people's hands literally go through the concrete, and the error is the fact that the player cannot swim in the game.
- Graphics(out of 8)= 7
Most of the graphics in the game are very powerful and realistic, most of the graphics make the player feel like he or she is acutely in the wild west, but however, some of the big rocks don't look as realistic as most of the landscapes, Items, and characters in the game.
- Presentation(out of 8)= 8
Red Dead Redemption has one of the funnest stories that anyone can find in a movie, which includes a huge supply of great missions and characters, it also gives the players to match tons of fun videos, something that many video games have been lacking for a long time
- Lasting Appeal(out of 8)= 8
By looking at the game's story, it's very easy to tell that Red Dead Redemption will be a game that people will enjoy playing for a long time, for a few reasons, one main reason is the setting, just by knowing that this is a free-roam wild west game the player knows it'll be fun, whether it's hunting, collecting bounties, putting a bounty on the player's head, or even doing missions, the player knows that the game will be fun, and the player also knows that he or she will take at least a few weeks before letting go of the game.
- Sound(out of 6)= 5
Most of the sound in the game is very realistic, excellent voice acting, and sound effects, but the problem with it is that the player could hear gun shots from very long distances, which I don't think sounds realistic at all.
- General Review(out of 40)= 38
Red Dead Redemption could easily be the best game I've ever played, it's realistic, it has many great things to do, a very strong story, that leads to meeting fun characters, or doing fun missions, or even free roaming, Red Dead Redemption is not perfect, it does have some very minor hiccups, but there is no ignoring that it's the best game I've played in a very long time, it put Rockstar games back on the map, after the release of the lackluster GTA IV.
5 Stars
