Red Dead Redemption PS3 Review

Red Dead Redemption

The American West has been famous for its stories. Everyone has been inspired by it, from movie makers to writers, from children to singers. But over the years game developers have not given it due attention and those who have tried to squeeze it into the gaming arena have put it limited extent. But now the Rockstars, a well know name of the gaming world, primarily because of Grand Theft Auto, have put all their efforts to make a fictionalized and romanticized environment of Wild West called the Red Dead Redemption.

Rocksstars have an amazing putting everything coherently about the Wild West, cactus plains, gun fights, whole some actions and the best thing is its flawlessness. Remember GTAIV, the biggest problem that I faced was the lack of health regeneration. If you haven’t brought the enough health pack with you, then you are not in a position to make your way through the mission. But now it’s all here. Though it is a tiny addition but it’s important. Rockstar has put an awesome combination of visuals and sound tracks. As far as sound tracks are concerned, it fits with every atmosphere you are in. And the lighting is just amazing; got to say the best lighting I’ve ever seen. It is either moon light at night or the shiny sun light in the dawn or the incandescence in noon, you are always aware of the day shift you are in, all you need to do is to look up into the sky.

One thing that has made game more succulent is the mood of the game, unlike GTAIV which always used to lampoon the modern world the Red Dead Redemption fits with seriousness (the way Wild West should be). Though there are some exaggerations but everything seems to be natural. This tone of the game has made it more appealing and offers the real atmosphere, requisite for the game.

Red Dead Redemption provides you with utter experience of Wild West and if you are votary of Western movies you will feel that this game offers a glimpse of almost every area shown in movies either directly or indirectly. Rockstar have really put their efforts making this game a real Western experience and they have succeeded in providing it. all the feature put together in a simple but logical way the atmosphere, fights, tone of the game, sound effects and relative tracks all these thing blend up to make a fine Western life game, the Red Dead redemption.
