"What's this game?", you ask. Most of you have probably played Red Dead Redemption, right. Well, this is the game that started the whole Red Dead thing, and guess what, it's great. It's not like Red Dead Redemption or is it even GTA like in any way; it's more like a Third-Person Platformer Shooter. You play as a man named Red, who has his father murdered at the beginning and must go on a journey to take your revenge (huh, maybe it's not that different from GTA after all). You will meet many people and even get to play as most of them. After a big shootout on a train, you wind up in the main town/hub of the game, Brimstone. Red becomes a bounty hunter and that's what you spend most of the game doing; Platforming through levels while killing people, all leading up to boss battles at the end of each level. You also play as other people as mentioned earlier, each with there own scenario. Besides the main story, you can also play Multiplayer with up to 3 friends and it's not half bad; you play basic Deathmatches, killing other people, team or not, and it's really fun. If you want to play a fun game with good Multiplayer, and that is a predecessor to one of the best games on Xbox 360 and PS3, pick this up at your used game store or buy it from the Gamespot GameMarket.
