Red Dead Revolver
Red Dead Revolver is a video game that consists of 2 releases
A tale of revenge in the wild wild west, Red Dead Revolver is a third person action shooter distributed by Rockstar Games.
Overview
This game was being produced for Capcom when they decided to halt the game after Rockstar decided to pick it back up and make it a spaghetti western game, instead of a more American western. Created by Rockstar, Red Dead Revolver is a third person shooter which harks back to the cinematic westerns, especially those involving Clint Eastwood, whom the protagonist is extremely similar to.The game takes a level structure, comprising of around 24 levels. For the most part, the player takes control of Red Harlow, out to get revenge for his parents' murder, only the player also takes control of Annie Stoakes, Jack Swift, Shadow Wolf, a Buffalo Soldier and General Diego for certain levels.
Whilst most of the game takes place on foot, there are instances where Red is on horseback. The player controls these segments in much the same way as when Red is on foot.
In addition to the single player campaign, which lasts roughly 8 or 9 hours, there are a few multiplayer modes;
- "Bounty Hunter" which takes the form of a standard death match, with card game influenced titles
- "Sundown" which the same as "Bounty Hunter" only with a time limit rather than a death limit.
- "High Noon"
This last game mode is unique to Red Dead Revolver. It is the archetypal gun "duel" in which 1-4 players must quickly draw and kill all the remaining characters before they are killed themselves. Duels consist of pulling the character's hand down to the holster using the Right Stick and then bringing it back up once the gun has been drawn. If the player draws the hand back too early, they will not have grasped the revolver and therefore cannot shoot.
There is a large amount of characters to play as who can be unlocked by competing challenges in the story mode. Each character has unique abilities which are particularly evident in High Noon. It features two players in a slow-motion quick-draw where a targeting reticule runs across their body and goes from green to yellow and red. Yellow means a powerful shot, red is near-fatal, and green is a miss. While drawing and shooting first gives a distinct advantage, patience and accuracy are key to winning.
The game was received well by critics and its spiritual successor, Red Dead Redemption, was released May 18, 2010.
