I am sure there are more than enough of people out there that will say that the game doesn't live up to the hype, or that it could have been so much better. But I say that Rockstar has done an absolulely amazing job on creating a world that I get completely immersed in. Sometimes I just stop my horse (i named him Fred) and take a look around and the game just pulls me in. The look, the sounds, everything about it. I know others out there say its just GTA set in the western theme, but is that really a bad thing? The game delivers regardless. From what I read, it cost over $70 million to make this game and it will need to sell more than 4 million copies to break even. I am sure it will sell that many plus many more and it deserves too. Maybe others expected more than me, but my expections were met and I feel that I got a whole lot more. I am taking my time with the single player. I want to savor the whole experience and don't want it to end.

I really needed this game. I needed a game to suck me in and not want me to let go. I thank you Rockstar for giving me what i needed!
