Here we review Red Dead Redemption's single player and take a look at the positives and negatives of Rockstar's new open-world western.

Rockstar creates the next benchmark in open-world gaming and tops the western genre.

There has been a hunger for a great western game for as long as I can remember. So many strong open-world titles have been flooding our consoles that gamers are beginning to look for a new setting, a western setting. Gun, Call of Juarez, and Red Dead Revolver all tried to feed those desires, but fell short. With my thirst unsatisfied, my mouth watered over every drop of information that Rockstar gave me concerning Red Dead Redemption, a game that promised to take sandbox and western games to a new level. Did Red Dead Redemption live up to the hype? Was my mind blown by the story that Rockstar had to tell? Was my hunger subdued by John Marston's revolver?
