I have long with its own review, to this masterpiece, waiting. I play RDR but since the release in May of 2010.
The "Game of the Year Edition" is your money well worth. Even if one has the "original" RDR with all DLC's (DLC) already.
Because the best innovation is, in my opinion, the new Hardcore mode. The original RDR has a difficulty level, which as a "means"
can inscribedable. The new Hardcore mode makes the game significantly, "crisp" and above all realistic.
Highly recommended, especially for those who like to have a hard time. Because the new Hardcore mode does not forgive shooting without coverage. Depending on the weapon of the opponent and hit zone John is after 1-3 hits at the end. The Health regenerates much more slowly, which finally allows the medicine to be a meaningful subject. Even horses who have died are not simply re-spawn again. We must now find a new horse, breaking in, stealing or buying. The other features of the Game of the Year Edition are not written on Amazon.
So, now to the actual game, whether Game of the Year or not ... it is a masterpiece, and artwork. Anders, so I think you can not describe it.
I have never seen in a video game such great weather and horizon effects. Anyone who then rides on his horse in the sunset knows what I mean.
The entire game world, which is a good size, has a consistent and widespread a grandiose atmosphere. It pays to pay attention to on the little things. The attention to detail is mentioned too rarely positive, because it is truly overwhelming.
Likewise, the whole story, the really free-roaming world, which div. Accidental events, the characters, the whole atmosphere is unique.
Nevertheless, I am of the opinion that one should have a soft spot for the Wild West "already to appreciate the game so beyond measure.
Of course, not even Western fans can and must access here. Finally, it is a piece of video game history. Nevertheless, the game for the greater experience if you love the setting a little more.
A good tip I have to play it to all those who still want to play it straight, or still play: not rushing through the main story, as if her the devil behind you! Graduated from the side missions, the wanted posters, events, etc. Give yourselves sometimes a slow pace, enjoying the world of RDR. Uses the Fast Travel function poss. rarely. Occasionally times in a saloon, playing poker, a look at the nooks and crannies of the city. There is so much to discover.
Tried the game really enjoy. In my opinion, the game unfolds only then, and only then, all his strength and splendor. Just try it once.
Conclusion:
I have written a lot and can not deny that I'm a fan of this game and I certainly lacks objectivity. Nevertheless, it is a masterpiece. Best of all, when the whole world is living "and events occur randomly, various side activities are endless (.zB the bounty hunting, hunting for animals, the various games), can this game theoretically forever play ... at least until one day a successor will ... keep my fingers crossed!
