This stunning Wild West epic raises the bar for open world action games, and stakes its claim as one of the most engaging games this year. Read the full review: www.gamespot.co...

[@GhostMotley]

Wish they remade this game for XO, PS4 and released it on PC. One of the best games ever made.

[@yourcrapp]

we dont want a remake, we want red dead redemption 2

[@GhostMotley]

yourcrapp Even better, a remake and Red Dead Redemption 2

[@yourcrapp]

GhostMotleyXT Amen brother! that would be awesome!

[@cyberpunk7702]

GhostMotleyXT I do want a RDD 2, but I will buy the remake one if they actually do it.

[@adamgreensides948]

I've heard alot of different things over the past few months hinting at a remaster and a sequel possibly e3 something might be revealed because rockstar has nothing at the moment it and I know there supposed to be saying what's next at e3

[@GuILty718]

Greatest game of last gen. Hell, it's better than 95% of current gen games. I'm about to grab the GOTY Edition for $17 bucks at Gamestop. Oh, the memories.

[@witcherfanboy6773]

I agree 100 percent . I just beat witcher 3 and now I dusted off the 360 and jumped into the wild west . can't wait to see the next rdr

[@JesuSoup]

The defining game of last gen is RDR, Gta 5 Spec ops the line and the Mass Effect trilogy for next gen the Witcher 3 is all that come to mind IMO

[@mrshadwoxz9981]

GuILty718 you definitely haven't played the last of us nor the uncharted trilogy

[@nate1735]

@@mrshadwoxz9981 Last of us maybe but uncharted i think not

[@apictureoffunction]

@@nate1735 Uncharted fits. It literally did for big blockbuster action movies what RDR did for westerns. AKA translated them perfectly into games

[@nelsonbrown7358]

One of the Best Games ever made. Do I have to say much. This is a 10/10 for sure

[@aaoppe]

Not only is RDR the best game Rockstar has ever produced, it has also aged incredibly well. I've been playing skyrim on steroid-mods for almost a year now, and this still looks good on the PS3...

[@jameswhite5126]

Per Eriksen Listen to TOM LEYKIS!

[@mrshadwoxz9981]

Per Eriksen I don't think so GTA SA is obviously the best R* game

[@kummakummakummakummakummac8606]

Per Eriksen - RDR is one of the greatest games i have ever played but I have to agree withMrShadwoxz that San Andreas is Rockstars best.

[@ijustwantmyphonecall6947]

@@kummakummakummakummakummac8606 wrong lol

[@apictureoffunction]

@@mrshadwoxz9981 no it isn't, stop being blinded by nostalgia. SA is objectively worse in every way than every game R* has released since. It was fun for it's time but it sure as fuck doesn't hold up anymore, if you stopped whacking off over SA because it had a stats chart you'd realize that so did GTA 5, and it did it for 3 separate characters too

[@chrispark3203]

One of the best games I have ever played!

[@6pakUnited]

How can you not love this game?

[@Pedro_Le_Chef]

check thinreaper's review , you can't not love the game unless you nitpick.

[@anasshahid224]

Facts 😊

[@xptypo123]

On my opinion best game this generation and one of the best games ever. I will never forget it!

[@lazert8144]

Better than GTA V

[@jedd6558]

Yes

[@amarevanhook7453]

Both fantastic games

[@nate1735]

Yes

[@draconica1985]

Back when gamespot reviews made sense.

[@TheFly212]

Top ten game of this generation. Just started replaying it for the first time since summer of '10 it's so fun and engaging in both a narrative and gameplay area.. Great game.

[@ft9640]

best game ever

[@anasshahid224]

Red Dead Redemption is an absolute masterpiece, the story is one of the most powerful ones I have ever seen in a game, you could spend hours upon hours exploring the gorgeous world, no game since has come close to it in my opinion, Rockstar Games are amazing developers, one of my personal favorite game of all time, a timeless classic 👏👏👏👏 Really hope it gets remade for current gen consoles 😊

[@jassingh8369]

best game ever?

[@Pedro_Le_Chef]

best game ever

[@BrandonBoyPH]

How about the trophies? Is it hard to get the platinum?

[@PumpkinSmasher79]

Kicked a dog. Dog bit back. Dog got shot. *-50 Fame*

[@IvanTorresBntz]

you just can't kill a dog, is wrong in any level.

[@Pedro_Le_Chef]

whistle near a dog , dog follows you.

[@generictoasterstroodle1080]

Red dead redemption is by far the best western game out there. It might even be one of the best last gen games too. And we can’t forget about the undead nightmare dlc. By far my favorite dlc in any game.

[@stunnasrr]

I played the entire game with one horse

[@ppssppandroidgaming7073]

Me too😍

[@Pedro_Le_Chef]

let me guess , the war horse .

[@RegBeta]

This is the most detailed review for Red Dead Redemption I've seen period. GODDAMN IT now I need to get a PS3 or 360 by the end of this year, to play this awesome game!

[@supermariodmac]

This is such a fun game, it`s awesome

[@arunbhandari2614]

This was the first game I bought with ps3 and I fell in love with gaming .

[@publicsponge2696]

this game is just awesome

[@Dextwoothree]

Awesome review, was this played on X360 or PS3?

[@badboy0510]

@blindiris22 im currently on my 3rd time playing. You'll play the single player, then play the rest of the side missions, then you'll want to go to the multiplayer, then you'll want to level up, get the achievements, unlock all the outfits. This is a game you are going to be playing over and over again. With ur friends, by urself, the missions never get repetitive, plot line is sweet. amazing game.

[@FirestoneX]

the "Dead Eye" mechanic looks different on this video then when I play. Is it different for Xbox and PS3, a patch update, or am I missing something?

[@Dextwoothree]

Bandana to hide your identity... God I love this sort of attention to detail. Anyway, is there any major difference between X360 and PS3 versions of RDR controlling-wise? I mean, do they both control about the same?

[@y05077]

after you finish the game and the credits are done do you go back into the game world with all the side quests and stuff or does it have a fallout 3 ending where you cant go back after the story is finished

[@Dreditz1]

I really want to play this game, but chances are they are going to release a GOTY edition in the next couple of months. So which system should I get it for? PS3 or 360? I don't have a preference; I just want the one that looks best/plays the smoothest.

[@fezzard]

@virtuafighterman so red from revolver is marston here in redemption??

[@The_Chimera]

Which is the better game worth purchasing, Mass Effect 2 , or Red Dead Redemption?

[@SlimRhyno]

What a solid vid.rev! Truthfully, I tend to prefer them being a fair bit shorter; but this was a stellar one!! Thanks, and kudos to all involved

[@LiquidEvolva]

@xxBIoodBIadexx wrong. Spagetti westerns were called that way because they were made by Italians although they have american actors as long as italian ones. Movies like "Il buono, il brutto, il cattivo"(the good, the bad and the ugly) or "Per qualche dollaro in più" (For a few bucks more) or even "C'era una volta il West" (Once upon a time in the west) all have american actors but they are spagetti westerns.

[@wizeguy26]

can u make a person in multiplayer or do u get a random character? and do you still earn money in that mode?

[@Jamesscalise]

How do you have a duel without killing the guy? I can't figure out how to just disarm.

[@karmaloni]

is this game recommended for me to buy and can u skip any of the cutscenes that may be offensive?

[@Umberman]

That one stranger mission with the flower guy, the ending scared the shit out of me. It cannot be unseen 0.o

[@SonNGoha]

@OutPunchedProduction the games always have english version, spain, so on.. this as the same option??

[@Mercs2fan]

Do you have the ability to replay missions once you complete the game?

[@360SIC]

@RamboSonik its the bandito outfit you get it later on in the game

[@ALC-NY]

either they didn't explain well or I fail at paying attention to the popups on the top.. I still don't know how to use dead eye targeting. anyone care to tell me the controls?

[@GangsterSedGaming]

Rockstar Games and Ubisoft Games are the best developers ever

[@Faffy3Loves_chu]

@WorgenInATopHat if you did get it what would it be on Xbox360 or ps3

[@TheGreatAton]

just got it today man i love watching reviews for games i already have

[@NezarSamy95]

@spookerlee u need the gold membership to play anything online

[@scaredypicker]

Completed GTA IV and then immediately started playing this again. Both amazing games.

[@MrRobinDP]

@TheMossad921 there is tons of things to do like: bounty huntung, animal hunting, horse capturning/riding/...,playing poker,blackjack,...,random events,herd breeding,.... You can have multiple outfits like lawmen suit, american army uniform, rancher clothes and you can wear some separate clothes like a poncho, mexican hat, bandana,....

[@JimShadyUK]

@RajonRondoooooo I bought this game a couple of weeks ago and I can't stop playing it. I haven't heard about a new one, but you will honestly not regret buying this. There is so much stuff to do - I ride out into the wilderness just to see what will happen, because something always does! Let's see - I'm enjoying it as much as I enjoyed GTA3 on the PS2, if not more. I think that's pretty high praise!

[@MrWho9834]

@AwesomePossum5 it actually was only four years after the main story I think. Even though the son looks like he's in his late 20s, the grave marker for his mom, I think, says 1915 and it's a new marker so i'm guessing that's the year you play in.

[@slimchance87]

Is their still a strong multiplayer community? Is it still possible to platinum?

[@GlaciaGalaxy]

My friend had this and i played for a few hours, each corner turned up something new, from me accidently runnng my horse off a cliff, racing a train, putting someone infront of the train, taming horses, to hunting, I always found something new to do just for fun within the few hours i played it, i didnt even do the missions i was so content with roaming and having fun. (of course i will do them to proggess) and im getting Red dead tuesday

[@JunkieFame]

@MrSV991 On the PS3 you can control everything more acurate.For example the acceleration of a car or the steering.On the keyboard it's very hard to drive in some games...

[@Elchapa130]

does this game get boring fast? i need help so i can see if im going to buy it

[@Fass47]

@blindiris22 no, after you done you can do stranger task and do challenges and unlock clothes.

[@orjanbaglo]

just a question, how old are you?

[@allenfrankin]

@LargeTalons666 but thats only if you do none of the side missions. If you do those, the game is like 23-27 hours

[@zzzIdividedbyzerozzz]

10- GET IT FOOLS! 9.5- Bonerific game, a must buy for most people. 9- Amazing game, just need a few adjustments, still a must buy. 8.5- Great game, alot of people and fans will certainly buy it. 8- Good game, recommened for some people, but mostly fans. 7.5- Good game for mostly the fans. 7- decent game, you gotta appreciate the goods over the bad. 6.5- meh... Yeah this deserves a 9.5

[@RapidShot48]

Do people still play this online? And do u need dlc to go online? I rly wanna get this one for m bday

[@ColdplayKid112]

What I dont get is that in the first one his name was Red

[@assassin23ify]

Rock star would be in the money if they remade this, or San Andreas for the new gen

[@sirvictorgreenblade9469]

AmishTechSupport am I the only one who wants a vice city remake

[@rfhtje]

@freddyzcount90 You have to go in the very north and northeast and walk across the river there. So the river that springs in tall trees and goes into the lake by the great plains. If you move around there you will somtimes see beavers there. that's what i did, hope it helps

[@GiveMeATaco100]

I wonder what would happens if you shoot the enemy in the groin in a duel?

[@CorpralDunn]

Should I get it now? Even though it came out in 2010?

[@lemonsodumb]

i've never owned a gta or red dead game. do you think i will like it?

[@fezzard]

is this a prequel or a sequel or red dead revolver?

[@SuperMicklovin]

@ilikedapickleickle wat do u play on

[@gloup81]

this is xbox right ? i can see a clear deference over the ps3 which i have , day seems much more brighter as it should look but on the other hand in this version night seems like the old movies where night was filmed at daylight with the apropriate film/lens but still looked fake , dunno i may be wrong but thats my two scents

[@Envy_me94]

@SirChubblesSteen what so they look better on xbox?

[@aarrtt444]

How did he get the sombrero?

[@RamboSonik]

how do you get the sombrero?

[@JakobTennisMB]

Two questions to all of you: Is there a lot more to do besides fight? Would this be fun to someone who doesn't like call of duty?

[@JunkieFame]

@MrTURBOJOHN 1.PS3 is cheap for running almost any game. 2.I want to refer here to the exclusives.For example GT5 looks better than ANY PC game. 3.Agree here , but I personally prefer the controller than the mouse. 4.A few Seconds , I'm using a wireless keyboard. Thank you.

[@cykhorrami]

Ohh I get what you mean. They said stealth would be back a lot in ac4. But in ac3 there was stealth but people rarley used it, it's hard, a lot of the time pointless, a lot easier going into a all out fight. But I do agree with most of what you said. AC1 and 2 had pretty good stealth.

[@thefuturefooty]

i got £35 and i was wondering should i get la noire or infamous 2?

[@NinjaTyler]

@pofty it wasnt in multiplayer fir the same reason as no lasso, there were just way too many bugs and frame rate issues

[@SonNGoha]

in this game you can choose how many languages to play??

[@freddyzcount90]

Does anybody know where the hell I can find BEAVER FUR? I've searched alot at Thieves Landing, but I just can't seem to find it!

[@ztf000]

You’d do better around the river near tall trees😂

[@Dannyboy90ify]

@Hal0Prodigy because it´s a review not a commercial...

[@RajonRondoooooo]

how are the graphics as well?

[@TheBip666]

Everybody, I have this game, and it's safe to say that the auto-aim is not as bad as you think. I was skeptic about the auto-aim in multiplayer before i bought this, but now Im not. The auto-aim online feels natural and smooth, and doesnt feel like everyone is getting too much of an advantage. It flows well and when i play it, it feels fair. But even if you cant get around this, the game also has Hardcore and Veteran modes which minimize auto-aim (Hardcore) and completely get rid of it (Veteren)

[@blurr82]

Kevin Vanord and Justin Calvert actually inspire me into writing reviews.

[@WrestlingFan5643]

whats the background music from 1:31 to 2:26. =D

[@lush1998]

Umm.... one thing wrong with this comment, the original Max Paynes had Dead Eye as well, and they were way before Red Dead Redemption. Red Dead was not the first game to use Dead Eye, however, the two mechanics in each game were slightly different.

[@JunkieFame]

@MrTURBOJOHN That's true too , but I heard that in the future , they will try to make ALL the games premium.And by the way , if u take a photo with a premium car is pretty hard to say it's a game.

[@apictureoffunction]

I'm on my second playthrough of the sequel right now and I had forgotten how addicting it is. RDR2 is definitely one of the best games of the PS4/Xbox One generation

[@AwesomePossum5]

@MrWho9834 it's actually 1914, but I looked that up on the internet, so it makes a little bit of sense, but yea he looks so old

[@Yorenzo27]

is there alot of people still playing this? I ordered one on Amazon.

[@Chiquelhotdb]

How do you put that hat? 2:13

[@P4nzerk93]

Does gravity affect bullets in this game?

[@RajonRondoooooo]

so i have ps3, and i rlly want this game, will the be a new one coming out soon?

[@rutrut4]

how do you know what breed of horse it is?

[@nonnynay]

@Crocksmeat It's absolutely worth buying. Put it this way. I bought Assassins Creed Brotherhood and played it for about 20 hours. I must've played Red Dead for well over 100. I liked the last Assassins Creed but there's very little to do compared with this.

[@Match25]

how did you get that sombrero

[@spookerlee]

erm.... do u need a xbox gold membership to play the multiplayer???

[@StarSeeker94]

Some of you think I am an ass for saying that this game is worth more than 9.5. Some of you may agree when I say this game is a perfect 10. So in my oppinion this is a masterpiece. Epic thrilling story from beginning to end, wonderful combat, jawdropping environments, realistic, amazing voice actors and score, multiplayer rocks. There may be some small bugs but it doesn't affect your gameplay and it's not a biggie at all. 5/5tars = Masterpiece

[@NiceGuy1405]

I got this game today from a car boot sale for £6, still sealed and brand new !!! What a great find that was =)

[@666danielclark666]

@SonNGoha I didn't notice that it had a language option. But I'm sure if you google it you'lll find out.

[@Looooooongshots200]

worth getting??

[@SlimYabby]

@brokrishnan nope it goes like this: 1.Grand Theft Auto IV 2.Red Dead Redemption 3. L.A. Noire

[@6Wul0Won]

Gawd I love this game so much. It's probably my favorite game in last 3 years or even more.

[@TheBurgaaa]

Your s'possed to complete in 20-40hrs? I completed mine in 9hrs... But i was only doing the story...

[@CAP1997FURACAO]

should i get this one or assasins creed brotherhood?
