IGN: Red Dead Redemption Review

May 17, 2010 in Reviews comments 4

IGN have posted their review of Red Dead Redemption and what a posative review they gave it. The game will be released very soon, click the link to read the full 3 page review.

Final score=9.7/10

The American West has made actors famous and writers rich. It has inspired children on the playground and grizzled country singers alike. Its stories of heroes and bandits, gold rushes and simple homesteaders have been fictionalized and romanticized to the point that they're known the world over. And yet, videogame makers have either ignored the setting or attempted to squeeze it into existing game conventions with limited success. That has all changed now that Rockstar, the group made famous for its Grand Theft Auto series, turned its eye towards the Wild West. No game maker has approached the period with as much passion and power as Red Dead Redemption. This is the new bar that all Westerns must strive to reach.

    Does anyone know whats up with IGN and not being able to embed their videos anymore? The 'more' button is their, but nothing happens when you click on it.

    Anyway, so this post is not off topic, pretty good review. I just hope people dont come in here saying its too high, or end up being disappointed much like with GTA4.

      The fact that its a sandbox western game is enough to give it the score they gave it. This is something I've wanted for a very long time. Running around the old west on horseback, alone is worth a 9/10

    Yup, definitely going to buy this game. I was going to anyway, but I wanted to see some reviews to be sure there weren't any obscure gameplay problems.
