    This is one of the few games, that have made me feel like part of the world.
     
    It's very ambient, and pulls you right in.

    Great looking environment, so much stuff to do, great voice work, fun characters. Just a fun place to mess around, have't even begun with the multi player.

    I think the thing that really makes it great is how fun every part of the game is. There really isn't anything that feels like a chore or anything that feels repetitive. All the little side missions seem to occur so naturally. Most open world games just clutter your map with stupid little markers that basically say "Go here for a story mission" or "Go here for a side mission". These always make the worlds in other games seem so hollow and pointless, but Red Dead feels like an actual world. It feels like a living breathing thing. I find myself just running around doing random shit and having fun without even doing story missions. On top of that the story missions are awesome, and the multiplayer is pretty fun too. Thats why I think its an awesome game.

    The amount of stuff to do makes it feel almost like an RPG.

    Its just an awesome game, cause the people at rockstar put there hearts into this game and it really makes you feel apart of the old west.  I could go on and on about it, but its just an amazing game.

    so was gt4. and there was a huge disconnect between fans and critics on that game.  
    it was boring.  
    missions had no check points 
    nagging annoying ass friends 
    who also dragged you to boring bowling or pointless strip clubs 
    etc etc 
     
    RDR is an improvement over GTA4 in every conceivable way.

    Endless supply of wolves/predators while skinning.  I mean I think if a pack of wolves saw 20 of their buddies lying in a heap at your feet in rl they'd stay the fuck away from you, but not in this game.

    I thought my my copy of RDR was screwed and I deleted my saves thinking they were corrupted. Turns out, it was my Xbox 360. My Xbox 360 is getting repaired and when I get it back, I don't mind starting RDR all over again. Actually, I can't wait to relive those 15 hours lost.

    beside all the gameplay elements, this games presentation is stunning! I'll never get over how the different times of day, different weather will look exactly like i would think! sunrise is beautiful, sundown is the same, stormy nights are absolutely gorgeous with the clouds lighting up, the rain drops hitting you camera lense when you look up... well done rockstar!

    This game is quite simply the best Western video-game ever made. It's also probably the best Rockstar game ever made. The setting, story, game-play, quantity and quality of things to do; are all awesome. Also John Marston is a very likable protagonist with great voice acting to back him up.

    It's certainly an awesome game. Though it really is feeling rather monotonous as I just reach Blackwater. Same minigames that I'm long through with, bounties that are more of the same, a huge wealth of money...it's only the story that's really pulling me through the last chapter of this game.

    It is awesome because it is a compelling experience. It does a very good job at convincing you that you are running around the wild west. Even if the story was completely lame, the world would still be very convincing. Now if the world was not convincing, but the story was left the same, this game would not be as impressive.

    It's a really good game and captures the wild west in an almost perfect fashion, but I haven't beat the game yet.
