Better late than never... Red Dead Redemption review.

The year is 1911. The Wild West is dying. Former outlaw John Marston must hunt down his former friend and posse member Bill Williamson in order save his wife and son from the Federal Government. That is the plot to Red Dead Redemption. John Marston's journey will take you from the Province of New Austin, Mexico, and the Rockies. Almost all the characters are memorable. The story overall is quite enjoyable even when it a little slow in Mexico.

Now the world of Red Dead Redemption is quite beautiful and a joy to explore. Whether you are helping/terrorize random strangers, picking herbs, hunting game, playing poker, blackjack, liar's dice, finger fillet, horseshoes, breaking horses, drinking, or treasure hunting there is always something to do. Tip: always look out be on the lookout for cougars and bears they hate you and your horse. The environments are quite vary.

The control are tight and the gun play is quite entertaining. The Dead Eye mechanic is quite fun but still balance. Sometime the cover system act a like funky, but doesn't break the game. There is a decent amount of weapons in the game. Also there is Fame and Honor which can effect your game depend whether you play as an outlaw or whether you do good.

Overall, I love this game.
