[.ca] Red Dead Revolver

Finally a good game for Western aficionados:
Deliver some lead in this spaghetti western videogame! Red is a gunner with a Clint Eastwood face (I would not be surprised if good old Clint sued Rockstar for using a skin that is a bit too close to his likeness). His parents were murdered when he was a child, his father's legendary gun, "the Scorpion Revolver," robbed. Now that he is old and skilled with all sorts of weapons, Red is on a quest to avenge his parents, get that gun and kill anything that gets into his way. This game is an excellent western, and here are its game characteristics: Graphics: 9 out of 10. ^^^^^^^^ Its like being at the movies, great 3D animation and wonderful graphic engine. The wild west finally revives... Sound: 10 out of 10. ^^^^^ Music seem to come directly from the The Good, The Bad and The Ugly. Sound FXs are perfect, voiceovers are well done. Atmosphere: 9 out of 10. ^^^^^^^^^^ Story, voicovers, music, and graphics will all contribute to a perfect western experience. Gun slinging, western humour, duels... you get everything. Gameplay: 8 out of 10. ^^^^^^^^ Yes good, but a bit too arcade "kill them all." You will have a LOT of fun though, expecially if you like things simple and entertaining. Plus, not only you command Red around the game, you will use also a cast of other 5 perfectly designed characters. The Bottom Line: Thus is a GOOD BUY: 1) for western movie fans. 2) for Rockstar Game fans. 3) for action oriented gamers tired of battling undead that jump out of the sewers or aliens in airshafts. For all others, this is a possibly good game on which to spend your money, as its overall quality is undeniably great.

red dead revolver......good game kinda weak....:
good game but i beat it in one day in like 6 hours....which sucked....game was way too easy but it was fun with the double tme or what ever it was with the L2 button...but over all a good shooter and the story line was ok...i didnt like how you couldnt roam around freely though...that would have made the game better...but overal it was a good game worth a rental not a buy...

good idea but boring:
It was a good idea for a game but it wasn't very challenging, it had really jacked controls, it had a really boring plot, multiplayer was boring, and the game altogether wasn't fun

Know what, the experts were wrong!:
Don't let the magazine and internet reviews by groups such as ign fool you, this game is really fun. Yes, the controls are not that great, the graphics are blocky, and unfortunately the game is short and does not offer xbox live support...but, the game is a blast to play, the theme is unique, the artistic quality is superb and the acting is attractive and well developed. Plus, it has a great story. I recommend buying or renting this game.

Good Game challenging but not impossible:
Good game which I enjoyed. The game is challenging in some places but not impossible. To me its more of an old school game were you might get beat a couple of times until you change you strategy and I would rather get some challenge with a game then speed through it. There are some levels in the game which are frustrating for one reason or another. The most annoying I can think of is the Diago stage since the game is very vague about explaining what your supposed to be doing while your getting shot at with cannons which is a bad thing. The key to making the game easier is to focus on getting head shots. Focusing on head shots makes the game a lot less frustrating. The atmosphere and music in the game was very well done a lot of the voice acting is over the top and funny in a good way. The voice acting of the main character was little to similar to Solid Snake. The music is similar to Kill Bill which I thought had a great soundtrack so its a plus here. The graphics are good, and I like that the cut scenes were done to imitate old movie reels with scratchs and dirt. Character models are well done and the levels are well designed. There have been a lot of complaints about the dueling system which isn't perfect but isn't impossible. The key is drawing your gun out quickly. Theres a slight pause when the game is showing Red and the enemy and then goes full screen. If you time it right you can usually get a shot off first. I didn't have a problem until the end when the time gets a lot shorter for you to shoot. The story is your basic revenge story so while it does a good job of drawing out the outcome, the outcome is always assured. Playing as different characters throughout the game adds some variety to the levels. Also having a town as a homebase works well. Red Dead Revolver also has a fun multiplayer mode with over 20 characters. So overall Red Dead Revolver was a fun game that had some frustrating parts that were challenging but not impossible. It does a great job with the western genre but its not that long of a game so you'd probably be better off renting it first. Just remember to focus on those head shots!
