Picture this… You’ve had a long day cramped up in a cubicle and want to unwind by riding on horseback around the Wild West after you put the kids down for the night… You can do that… The scenery in this game will immerse you deeply and seems like itnever ends… Often I’ll find myself riding across the plains just staring at the stars and listening to the coyotes howl…
On the other hand, if you’ve had a long annoying day at work, maybe the boss getting on your case a little too much, you can wreak havoc to your hearts content… There’s an endless amount of shenanigans you can get yourself wrapped up in and an ample selection of weapons do help you “release tension”… Cannons… GOT ‘EM… Gatling guns… GOT ‘EM!!! Dyno-mite… Yep, it’s there too(It happens to be a favorite of mine!)…
I haven’t played much of the single player campaign yet, I’m more of a multi-player kinda guy, so I’m going to focus on that aspect… In my opinion, the greatest thing about this game is when you “Posse up”… When the 33rd Posse is on the prowl, we’re unstoppable… Team up with 4 or 5 of your friends and take the fort at El Presidio and the fun never ends… Cannons destroying everything in sight while your bounties increase always leads to the others in the game taking notice and coming to collect the bounty. How can that be a bad thing??? It’s only a bad thing for someone foolish enough to try to collect!!!
It’s not only the people you’ve gotta look out for while exploring… If you’re not vigilant, don’t be surprised if you become something’s dinner… I won’t bore you by listing all of the critters that you’ll run into, but let’s just say there’s a lot of variety…
Rockstar Games also provides a lot of variety when it comes to characters that you choose… If you want to be a Native American and seek revenge for pale face taking your land, you can do that… If you want to be a lawman, gang member, or even if you’ve always wanted to know what it was like to be a “lady of the night” in the old West, they’ve got that covered too…
I guess what I’m trying to say is, quit being such a “posse” and saddle up…
If you’re a fan of the GTA series and Spaghetti Westerns, this is the game for you…
