My Review of Red Dead Redemption
| August 4th, 2010I thought I had had enough of the open-world, stupid GTA like games that Rockstar keeps inflicting on the world, but I was wrong.  When I walked up to that first horse and saw the instructions I was to follow at the bottom right of the screen I squealed with delight.  It said “Ride Horse Y” and all I wanted to really do was ride that horsey.  So I did and it was fun.
I needed to get over my love of cute animals immediately, because the very first mission had me shooting sweet little bunnies. Â This was made up for by the side missions of picking flowers, which I also loved. Â What kind of hardened cowboy doesn’t need some purty flowers? Â Eventually I got over the killing of cute virtual animals and skinned everything I shot.
I also loved wrangling up the horseys.  I like horseys.
The story was laughable, none of it made any sense. Â The story should have ended many times before it actually did.
