    Red Dead Redemption in many ways surpasses even previous RockStar games such as Grand Theft Auto IV. The setting is amazingly detailed and they've created an enthralling world set in a great period of American history that oozes atmosphere. Superior storytelling, audio and graphics all come together to create one of the most enjoyable games in years. Read more

    • a few very minor graphical glitches

    While it clearly retains many of Red Dead Redemption's best qualities as far as presentation is concerned, Undead Nightmare isn't a more-of-the-same add-on. The combat isn't as good, the story isn't as compelling, and the missions aren't as varied. On the flipside, the humor is more plentiful, the arsenal is more imaginative, the soundtrack is suitably spooky, and the rare mounts are now well worth the fairly minimal effort that it takes to track them down.

    • Lengthy single-player story with superb ending, New cooperative multiplayer mode is great fun, Good number of optional activities, Awesome new mythical mounts to ride,...
    • Combat is repetitive and mostly easy.

    By and large though, none of this is game-breaking. The full extent of Rockstar San Diego's vision is so fully realised here, that it's difficult to think they've been sitting on this gold mine for so long. I've actually avoided so much of what makes the game tick because I know that, for me, the true engagement came directly from the actual experience, and so much of all this being thrown at you unawares makes that up.

    • Incredibly realised, functioning game-world, Excellent scripting and great characters, One of the best-looking game-worlds to-date, Multiplayer is awesome, Pacing and ...
    • Lacks the dynamism needed to complement the game-world they've created, Seriously, no swimming?

    • Impressive visuals and strong sound effects, Enormous free-roaming game world, Plenty of extra activities apart from the main story missions

    by exterminat ©2010 Nicholas Laborde We live in a day and age where DLC is quite a hot topic. Developers lock content onto game files and expect us to pay for it, we are expected to pay outrageous amounts for old content, and many things of that nature (previously discussed in the Lack of Focus article). Rockstar is one of the few companies out there that actually understands what the term Downloadable Content means. Read more
