This is by far the best western game made. I would play this story over Red Dead Redemption. It really irritates me that people didn't know this game existed. I still play it; it's so great!
Red Dead Revolver is a third person shooter, set in the Wild West. The game has a wide range of different characters you will have to play at least once in the game, but you spend most of the time playing as the main character, Red Harlow, who is a Bounty Hunter, looking for work, but ultimately wanting revenge on the bandits who killed his father.
GAME PLAY: The game consists of bounty missions and town visits after each mission, where you can buy and upgrade your arsenal. It also features levels where you ride a horse and in one of those, (best part of the game), you have to catch up to a speeding train. The game also has some stealth elements, but they are not necessary, although they might be useful sometimes. What might make it a bit harder is the inaccuracy of the weapons early in the game. The game has a whole arsenal of different weapons that can be upgraded. From knives and revolvers to dynamite and rifles. All the weapons are quite different from each other, so when you change a weapon, you won’t just use the same gun with a different look. When you start a mission, you can equip one Sidearm, one Rifle and one Thrown Weapon, however you can pick up any amount of weapons during the mission. . The campaign is rather long and during the campaign you can buy objects that will either unlock levels or characters for the 4 players, Human vs 3 Bots, multiplayer part. This part of the game is very fun and has many different levels and modes. A unique concept Rockstar made to kill enemies is the usage of Dead Eye Mode. It works by slowing the game speed to almost zero and lets you target different points on the enemy/enemy's body. When you target it, a red ring comes around and once the dead eye is over, shoot straight at that point. The dueling system works the same way, but you can't move. You draw the gun in two actions (grip and draw). Slowing time to shoot very rapid is fun, but can be frustrating because the Dead Eye Mode is too inconsistent and when you think you killed the enemy, you actually only wounded him.
GRAPHICS: are all right looking with different screen refresh rates to choose from. It will run very smooth and not annoy you at all during quick battles. The game has no pre rendered cut scenes, except the intro and credits. This gives the game a polished feel. The city look is okay. Some characters look like a train crossed over their faces, but look fine. The weapons and environments are detail and capture the western style.
SOUND: for the game is just fine, all the weapons sound as good as they look and the voice acting isn't bad either. There are some really funny scenes in the game, which is typical for Rockstar, so you will have that same GTA humor, which we all love so much.
OVERALL: what I like about this game is that the story doesn’t focus on Red only, but with other characters too. Some boss’s on this game are challenging and others are too easy. When you finish the game, your money and weapons won't go anywhere; you can start a new game with the same profile. This makes it easy to buy all the items you need and easier to play the game on harder difficulty's. Red Dead Revolver is a fun and unique experience so if you like shooters and action games, this is a must-have.
