all games

I like many of the reviewers here was excited that a western game was being made. I'm not really into westerns I just thought that it's a different story from most video games right now. I didn't even know that it was made by Rockstar until it flashed on the screen before I started playing and it was suprising how the controls were pretty decent compared to GTA. I thought that the aiming and the camera were pretty good in this game, if you've ever played a first person shooter you are already accustomed to it. The story is pretty good for a spaghetti western and the voice acting is so cheesy that you love it. The unique thing that I enjoyed about this game is that you change characters in the midst of the story. Although, sometimes you wish you had Red, the title character, in some of them. The reason I ranked this game so high and said just to rent it is because there is no replay value at all. After you finish the game you don't really want to play it anymore. All the same it was a fun game and a different kind of game than all these your a stealthy government agent preventing a mad scientist from taking over the world. So for a change of pace game and story wise Red Dead Revolver is a good rental.

This is one of those games that can suck away hours, as you try to clear just ONE MORE level. It gleefully exploits every classic western stereotype, from one-on-one gunfights, saloon brawls, shooting outlaws as they gallop after your train, and picking off varmints from behind boulders. You play as the laconic Red, a feisty, shotgun-wielding lady rancher, Native American warrior, English sharpshooter, even a Buffalo Soldier! The music is truly top knotch, and the sheer number of items to unlock make playing through several times worth it. If you've ever enjoyed the western, you'll like this game. There is the occaisional camera glitch: a few times as I ducked fire I was completely blinded to my foes but this was rare. Also, some of the voice acting is unintentionally hilarious, but that's par for the course.

One note: characters do die rather graphically, with the requisite geysers of blood and very, uh, wet sound effects. So it may not be for the younguns, but then, this is the company that makes the Grand Theft Auto games, so...

I love adventure & fighting games and this is a great game because it is a western. It's very similar to war games but takes place in the old west. I think the storyline is good. It is a little short, but near the end is difficult. I first rented this game and not having the instructions it was difficult to do the showdowns even with the on screen guides. Try it you'll like it. I think it's supposed to be a little cheesy. Aren't all westerns?
