First of all, yes, (who usually given those bad reviews) you are right, technically the game is already removed from the perfection, graphic bugs coming back before (but to a similar extent as in GTA 4 which is less players bother), it is not at full 720p resolution and there is no German Synchro.
But all that is in my opinion by a unique atmosphere, arising through the ingenious soundscape that made "vitality" of the game world and a good (for Western relations ;-)) story clearly up for it.
Because where I eg GTA 4 after a few hours just bored (in the eternal uniformity of missions, the side missions), it creates RDR me still inspire.
"Degrees do not feel like the next mission ?? Then I caught myself holding a new horse, and when I'm at it, I can also hunt a little wild and vekaufen the fur moment when hanging a wanted poster, the guy I'll get, oh, and forward as a treasure hunter is indeed threatened, I think I'll help .... "
Or so I think the whole time while playing. Although much is scripted or otherwise specified by the developers, the freedoms are still enormous. Alone the ride from one location to another, the maybe takes 5 minutes, it can happen that expands the time thanks to the actions listed above for an hour ....
Despite all the prophecies of doom, I find the graphics while nevertheless worth seeing. On my Bravia (107cm Full HD)
it looks despite Pop Ups, light flicker and some pale colors still better than 70-80% of the games available. And as the animation of horses are top notch.
Sure, a Uncharted 2, GOW3 and Co. it does not come close, but hey, that are PS3 exclusive developments that optimized the developer specifically for the console.
The sound convinced with beautifully realistic weapon sounds, 1A ambient noise and matching, understated soundtrack, a very good directionality of the surround channels and really very very good English language edition. With average English Kent Nissen should be able to follow the story.
All in all I can say, if you have a penchant for a) OpenWorld games or b) Western or c) Action + Story in games, you have to strike here.
Graphic purists and players who are overwhelmed with longer routes, however, it should get only once in the video store and audition.
In this sense, I have to go, in Tumbleweed ne Posse seen that I smoked out !!! ;-)
