We take a look at Red Dead Redemption, Rockstar North's much hyped sandbox Western. It's a great game, no doubt, but it's not without it's flaws ....

You can literally spend hours just roaming the land, which speaks volumes about the quality of the sandboxing, but the lure of the open wild does have something of a negative effect on the singleplayer storyline. You want to spend so much time exploring that any momentum built by the core story missions is ruined. John is simply desperate to get back to his family during missions, but then doesn't seem to mind going bush for days on end searching for beaver to kill and skin.
