  Well Done Western
  
  Red Dead Revolver is a classic western story complete with rolling tumbleweeds, a lonesome hero and the quick-draw slaying of bad guys.
  
  You play the part of Red, a boy born on the prairie to a gold-seeking father and his Native American wife. Your peaceful life takes a turn for the worse when your father's corrupt partner kills off your parents to take over your mine. Wounded, seeking revenge, you grow into an adult and learn the ways of the gun and knife. The rest of the game is about you tracking down various bad guys and blowing them away.
  
  They've put a lot of effort into giving an "old time feel" to this game. The cut scenes are deliberately laced with flecks and lines, as if it was an old movie you were watching. The environments are dusty, with red cliffs on the horizon, twisty trees near streams, you feel parched just playing.
  
  The sound is reasonably good as well. From the western drawl to the period music, you feel right at home with all those spaghetti westerns you've enjoyed.
  
  This game is definitely a violent one. Bad guys laugh while they kill woman, point blank shoot dogs in the face, arms go flying off of the shoulders they once were attached to. Any parents looking to buy this game should be aware it's not a "sanitized" version of the Wild West. It shows the lawlessness in full detail.
  
  Also, for anyone used to PS3 and XBox 360 graphics, this is clearly a game of the "previous generation". The characters are blocky. The textures are sometimes a little repetitive. Even with that being said, though, they did an amazing job with what they had available. Character animation is smooth and the glaring sunshine coming down onto the baked desert floor really does blind you at times.
  
  Well recommended for any fan of the western genre, who enjoys tracking down those who have done you wrong.
  
  Rating: 9/10

  Tougher than nails
  
  I love challenging games, that's what makes them fun for me. But this game is too challenging to be fun. I normally spend way to much time playing anyway but I'm ready to return the game and play something else. The game doesn't give you enough pointers to be successful and pretty much starts out hard. I wouldn't recommend this game unless you are really patient and use to using the analog sticks for movement.

  ALL AROUND GREAT GAME!
  
  THE GAME GUN AND RED DEAD REVOLVER CAME OUT AROUND THE SAME TIME AND ALL THOUGH BOTH GAMES ARE PRETTY MUCH THE SAME THEY BOTH ARE ALMOST EXACTLY THE SAME GAME. BUT REALLY FUN. I WISH THEY HAD COLABORATED THE STORY'S ARE SLIGHTLY DIFFERNT BUT I REALLY ENJOYED BOTH. I FELT THAT ALL AROUND RED DEAD REVOLVER WAS A REALLY GOOD GAME. GOOD STORY, GREAT GRAPHICS, ORIGINIAL AND PACKED WITH HUMOR! CANT GO WRONG IN THE SALON'S EITHER! LOTS OF SIDE MISSIONS TO DO AS WELL I ONLY DING THE GAME ON BEING TOO MUCH LIKE GUN AND VISE VERSA!

  A decent game in an untouched genre
  
  I was very pleased to see the advertisement for this game, I had been waiting a long time for a western shooter. Although I prefer first person shooters, it is still a pretty good game. The multiplayer is incredibly fast-paced, exciting, and addictive. There is a huge selection of characters to choose from.
  The first person was excellent, a great challenge. The story is a bit thin, and seemingly incongruous at times, but then again, so are the speghetti Westerns it emulates. The music is strangely familiar and nostalgic, almost as if it was STOLEN from speghetti Westerns. The characters say hillarious, albeit depraved things that give the game a sort of "tasteless yet classy" aura.
  The graphics leave a little to be desired. Acceptable, but a better job could have been done.
  Overall this is a great game that I still enjoy a playing every once and a while.
