Red Dead Redemption

This game is SICK.

It is a lot of fun, I got it at launch on PS3. It kept me a lot more engaged than the GTA series even though I like those games a lot too.

Yeah I got it at launch as well. My only real complaint so far is the amount of riding horses you have to do not only to get places but during missions as well (although they have entertaining conversations while you're following someone). The game is awesome though. is GTA set up similiarly? I haven't gotten a GTA game since GTA III

RDR is basically GTA set in the wild west.

GTA also had that issue of needing to drive across town to get to your next mission but at least you had radio stations to keep you entertained.

Strongly considering picking up this game. It's between this and SMG 2 for my limited game playing time. If only there was more time...

In single player mode I make good use of stagecoach taxis. You can set a waypoint and have them take you there. Then you just have it skip to the destination.

I've been playing Gang Matches online a lot more though. I love this game.
