Red Dead Redemption is a ridiculously fun game. I was hesitant about it at first when I originally heard of it, mainly because of the whole 'western' theme to it. I didn't realize how big the gaming environment really was until I watched an IGN review video online about it. There's just so much different stuff you can go and do, it is a tad bit overwhelming...

In this game, as opposed to GTA, you ride horses instead of cars (obviously, given the time period of 1911-ish), and its twice as difficult at first. In order to pick up speed, being that it is a horse there is no gas pedal. You must spur the creature's ribs with your boot spurs, and get the animal moving (spurring drives horses crazy). However, if you keep tapping ( X )too much to spur the horse, he will throw you off onto the ground, which depletes your health and takes up time, not to mention it is annoying, so just don't do it.
Also, refrain from shooting any animals that aren't wild. Folk don't take kindly to that around here.

You can go hunting in Red Dead Redemption, and skin your animals...rabbits, deer, coyotes, foxes, wild boars, etc. The law system is in ways similar to that of Grand Theft Auto, in that if you get into trouble with the law, you are chased and must reach beyond the boundaries of the circle on the map which represents the bounty hunters or sheriffs coming to get you and kill you. You may only surrender to lawmen, as bounty hunters will kill you regardless.

There is a whole lot more to say about this game, but I'll let you say it yourself when you go buy it and try it out. FUN VIDEO GAMES ALL DAE!!!
