Red Dead Redemption

[Geor!]

Received this as a birthday present and will probably begin playing it sometime this week, possibly tonight. Any tips/tricks on it? Is it a long game or relatively short? Fun factor? etc...

Damn good game, I enjoyed the shit out of it. I cheated and watched youtube vids to find all the treasures.

Incredibly repetitive, but fun for the first several hours, it's more like playing a movie. Riding the horse/driving the wagon and shooting at the same time is a bit tedious.

Practice on your head shots and rolls for multiplayer.

it's one of the best games I've ever played. The riding/shooting mechanics take some getting used to but once you get it down you'll enjoy it. Once you get the lasso that's when the real fun starts, don't likw the way someone is talking to you? Lasso them and drag them behind your horse, lasso them and drag them into a pack of wolves, lasso then hogtie them and put them on the train tracks just freaking awesome all the way around. Couldn't have asked for a better game as far as I'm concerned.

you can get infinite red eye too, once you learn the trick.
click it, aim, unclick, shoot.

there is no better cowboy/western game than this, and unfortunately since no one really does anything in this genre it will remain the top cowboy/western game for a long time. it was one of the very few games I played straight till the end and completed all the side quest. seeing the first big foot scared the shit outta me.

One of my favorite games. It's pretty long as far as games go, and fun through the entire thing. I agree with above posts that the lasso is much fun, and youtube is the way to go for most of the treasure hunts.

Accidentally downloaded this last night and love the game so far, even though I haven't made much progress.

I just finished fallout Vegas when i picked this up. Just couldnt get into it maybe because they are similar types of games. I may revisit it at a later date.

I couldn't play past 5 minutes of fallout...but I have Red Dead as my favorite Xbox game to date.
