RED DEAD REVOLVER XB

Action Packed Western

Strengths: tons of action, cool concept, "Showdown" battles are unique, good bosses

Weakness: very short, alternate characters all play the same way, unlockables are lame

Red Dead Revolver is a classic western movie come to life. You play as Red, a bounty hunter that is out for revenge after someone...well I won't spoil the surprise here (even though you'll know after playing for 5 minutes or if you've ever seen a western before). The story keeps you interested but really is nothing special. But story isn't really what this game is about. It's about action, and...

One of the few good Western games

Strengths: One of the few good Western games on the market, Music is top-notch and good storyline.

Weakness: Game is short, could use more variety.

If you're a fan of the Spaghetti Westerns, then you'll probably love Red Dead Revolver, despite its' flaws. The presentation in terms of graphics and sound are excellent and the storyline is quite interesting. The gun-fighting is a lot of fun and there are a lot of variety in missions and side quests. Those expecting this to be a GTA game in a western setting will be somewhat disappointed because...

Rockstar Studios tries placing Max Payne's gameplay...

Strengths: Intense gunfighting action, solid Western soundtrack, cinema-style graphics filters and camera angles, Xbox-exclusive multi-player mode

Weakness: Minimal storyline, short overall length, lack of graphical detail

Given the relative success of its Max Payne series, it was only a matter of time before Rockstar tried putting its tried and true third person shooter gameplay into another setting. Here, the developer pays tribute to the many Spaghetti Westerns of years gone by. The best part of Red Dead Revolver is its intense gunfighting action. As a lone bounty hunter, you'll tackle a series of all-too-brief...

Red Dead Revolver

Strengths: Excellent western atmosphere, interesting characters, good gameplay

Weakness: The game is on the short side, unnecessary stealth and escort missions interrupt the pacing

Red Dead Revolver is an excellent third-person shooter set in the old west. The story is right out of any familiar western: the main character's parents are killed and he spends the rest of the game on a one man killing spree to exact his revenge. The atmosphere is gritty and both the visuals and the "old-timey" music fit perfectly. The graphics are nicely done although nothing is overly...

RED DEAD REVOLVER XB

Strengths: A game Sergio Leone would be proud of

Weakness: Them be some real ugly-looking character models

Not many good Western-themed games have appeared on console systems. Rockstar changed all that in 2004 with Red Dead Revolver, a game it revitalized after Capcom, the former publisher, left it for dead. The question is, though, does Rockstar's first foray into the Western frontier deliver the same kind of punch as its gritty crime titles? It sure does, pardner. Contrary to what one might expect...

RED DEAD REVOLVER XB

Strengths: Good graphics and sound, well-done Western atmosphere, good action, nice character variety, decent storyline

Weakness: Multiplayer is only split-screen and isn't implemented well

Western third-person shooter action is done well in Red Dead Revolver. Good graphics and sound, coupled with nice visual effects make for a beliveable Western atmosphere in this third person shooter, which tries to do a Western revenge film and pulls it off well enough. The slow-motion shooting of "Dead Eye" mode is an amusing touch. The story line is good, doing flashbacks at different times...

Red Dead Revolver

Strengths: good graphics

Red Dead Revolver is a third person action/shooter game that takes place in the wild west. It has some pretty cutscenes and visuals. There are lots of different weapons, characters and levels that are unlockable. Theres a multiplayer component as well.

Mediocre.

This game ties in a combination of things, such as horse back riding next to a train, to draws. The story is the typical parents-get-killed-kid-turns-into-badas... hunter. The character developement is non-existant.

reach for the sky, hombre!

Strengths: great shooting action, fast and rapid gameplay

Weakness: short length overall, game can be finished in a few hours

RED DEAD REVOLVER FOR THE XBOX IS A REALLY GREAT GAME. ROCKSTAR GAMES HAS DEVELOPED AND PRODUCED ANOTHER EXCITING AND FUN GAME. I AM NOT REALLY A BIG FAN OF WESTERNS, BUT THIS GAME CAN HELP YOU CHANGE YOUR MIND. I GREATLY LOVE SHOOTERS LIKE MAX PAYNE AND THIS GAME REMINDS ME A LOT OF MAX PAYNE, ESPECIALLY WITH ITS BULLET TIME DEAD-AIM SLOWDOWN GAMEPLAY MECHANICS. IT MAY SEEM UNFAIR TO SOME, OF...

Draw!

Strengths: Aesome character design, gameplay, graphics, and sound.

Weakness: Incredibly annoying loading noise during gameplay.

Red Dead Revolver is a great 3rd person action adventure game set in the Old West. The controls graphics and sound are all great. The game is just simply fun to play. The problem with the game comes in the form of the contant loading that goes on in-game. It is very noisey and distracting. Anybody who played Soul Calibur on the Dreamcast will know want I'm talking about. If you can put up with a...
