Rockstar Games' Red Dead Revolver *** out of ****
at first i was a little shifty when i first heard about this game. it sounded kind of generic with no plot or story to me and it seemed like some kind of blood and gore shoot 'em up western. boy was I wrong. this game is amazing. you play as Red, a bounty hunter on revenge. They killed you're family and left you for dead. you start out at red's childhood home. and you must shoot down some goons that have invaded your farm. and then the story builds from there. the story is pretty good. the graphics are great. the weapons are pretty fun and cool. but the key thing that dragged me into the game was the dead eye system. it slows down movement and you can lock onto key points on a persons body and get up to about 10 locks for a devastating shoot out. it's the key feature of the game. the levels are fun to an extent. and when i say 'to an extent' i mean that once you get to the end bosses then you feel like you gotta throw you're controller across the room. pig josh was the bastard one for me. but besides the ridiculously difficult bosses this game is amazing. definitely a good game to pick up and go crazy with.
