The graphics are amazing and the story is even better. I couldn't wait for this game to come out and it sure delivered absolutely amazing. The story was a bit long but not bad if you don't mind driving into the lore of the series. Probably the greatest open world game I've ever seen and played.

Red Dead Redemption II feels really dated. Not much has changed since the previous game which came out over 8 years ago. Amazing visuals and entertaining game play do not save it completely from terrible and clunky controls. A story that drags on a bit too much into the mundane with so many characters one could care less to keep up with. Red Dead is funner played running around than terrible mission structure that plagues the flow of game play. Though this review sounds negative the game at its base is very fun and for those seeking 60+ hours of game play will find more than plenty to do here.

Rockstar has done it again! I was a little skeptical about this game after finding out that it took place before the first red dead that come out on the PS3 but after finishing the game 100% I can safely say that this is an amazing game and Totally worth getting if you are a fan of the original red dead like I am. the story is amazing and you can't really see where most of it is going that being said some things are known to you but not the main Character Arthur because we have played the first game but I never found myself upset about that in fact it made me like the Character of John and Arthur so much more than I thought I could

This game has an intriguing storyline and main character. The voice actors and actresses did a very good job. Especially the voice actor for Arthur Morgan. One of the most realistic games to date. Highly recommend if you enjoy open world games. Starts a little slow but keep playing because the story is worth it!

Narrative wise this game is amazing. The story about Arthur Morgan and the gang are top notch. The open world is stunning but there is a lot of gameplay problems. The horse riding to every mission that is halfway across the map is annoying. The base camp doesnt really matter towards the end. There isn't much to do after you played most of the story. Upgrading your stuff is pretty pointless and there isn't much stuff to spend your money on. Hunting and fishing are a waste of time. Don't even get me started on the online aspect which was extremely disappointing.

They did it again. Another outstanding game that will keep you entertained for hours. Graphics and quality of the game is great and the story line will keep you engaged wondering what will happen next. The side quests are challenging and add to the story as a whole.
If you haven't played this game yet, you will not be disappointed.
Enjoy!

My son and I each played Red Dead Redemption 2 separately, and we both absolutely loved it. The world is incredibly detailed, the story is powerful, and the gameplay is top-notch. Even though we played on our own, we had a great time talking about our experiences, the choices we made, and all the little things we discovered. It’s so good that we’ve both gone back to play it again. This is one of those games that really sticks with you and keeps pulling you back in. Highly recommended for anyone who loves a great open-world adventure.

The Only Cowboy Game in Town

Red Dead Redemption 2 is a good game, but it has some quirks. The game chooses realism over fun sometimes, since I have to eat and feed my horse and clean my guns. The world is large and full of content, but the controls can be somewhat clunky at times. It's a Rockstar Games' game through and through, and you get your value out of it. It is also nice to ride around, and be whatever kind of cowboy, hero or villain, you want to be. If you love the Old West, this is the best version of that experience. It's good. Just don't buy into the over-the-top hype.

I have not had an amazing amount of time playing this game, but so far I would say it is interesting. The story seems very well put together, the graphics and overall gameplay is seamless and quite surreal. My only issue is sometimes it gets pretty boring after a couple of missions, and the controls, or rather actions, are always changing. For example you could end up pressing three different buttons for the same action depending on the environment, or type of item it could be.

I got this game about 6 months ago. Everything about this game is awesome, the graphics, the story, the amount of details in this game is insane. This game will provide plenty of hours of entertainment. I would recommend this game to anybody that enjoy video games and open worlds.

I've been playing the series since it was Red Dead Revolver and to see how successful and loved it's become makes me pretty happy overall.
There was a lot to live up to after Red Dead Redemption since Rockstar knocked it out of the park with that entry. This one is no different, like GTA V it was a go big or go home sort of deal. It looks amazing, from the sprawling landscapes that stretch out before you and change as time passes to the story segments where the character models look a lot nicer and far more realistic, it's all amazing. The music changing on cue depending on what type of action is happening on the screen. I haven't had the chance to try out the online component to the game but have watched some friends livestream it and it looks every bit as fun as I thought it would. Basically, if you liked Red Dead Redemption at all then this is a no-brainer to pick up, if you hated it then this won't change your mind but you'll certainly be missing out on an amazing game regardless.

So many people might say it’s slow or have issues, but I never played the first one and I take this game for what it is. The story is amazing! The detail is incredible and Arthur makes me laugh constantly. It is well worth the money and I applaud the work that was done to make this game.

For anyone that played the first one, you can expect a lot of the same here. The difference is this game takes everything to a whole other level in quality as Rock Star really nailed it with this one. The gameplay is quite similar, but the AI is much more responsive and general feel of a community is amazing because you can overhear conversations and everyone tends to act like a normal real-life person rather than a video game character. The interactions are life-like which is amazing. The intuitive gestures and actions you can perform with others makes you really feel like you're there. The environment is amazing and something you'll have to see for yourself. The storyline is what you would expect, detailed, fun, and full of plot twists and adventure. The animals are awesome in this game. You could spend hours playing at a time or over time, but either way, expect a great time to be had by all with this one. It's long, but it's worth it.

Read Dead Redemption 2 is set in the late 1800s and early 1900s. The game follows the adventures of Arthur Morgan in his time spent with the Van der Linde gang. Rockstar has held up to their high standard of game development with their latest installment into the Red Dead universe.
The game has a fantastic story with main story line missions that have easily taken me 40 hours and I'm not finished yet. With side missions, side activities, and random encounters in the game, I am approaching the 100 hour mark in this fantastic universe. I am really looking forward to the Online component that will be released in the near future that promises to contain a new story and tons of content and a few new game modes to explore with my friends.
If you are on the fence about what to get a gamer in the family, I would highly recommend this game. It is amazing. However, I would avoid if the person you are thinking of purchasing for is a younger child. The game has a lot of mature content.

This one is more committed to realism than their previous games, for better or worse. I say for the better. Great action, great narrative, iffy controls, possibly money grubbing online mode. It's sort of a mixed bag, but the sheer level of content and artistry in the game is undeniable.

Great game but if you order from Best Buy and have the game shipped to you, it will most likely show up with the disc loose inside. I'm not happy about it. That's after it happening with the last SEVERAL games I've ordered from them. To the point that I'm no longer ordering from Best Buy online.
