For any fans of Grand Theft Auto, Saints Row, etc., I would highly recommend this game. Aside from Grand Theft Auto: Vice City (mostly due to the 80's music), I spent more time with this game than any other title in the genre. The shooting/targeting system is excellent, the world is gorgeous and alive with detail, and the dialogue is top-notch, on par with the Uncharted 2's of the world. That being said, I realize after having played about 10 hours of the game that the open world genre just doesn't keep me engaged for very long. By the time I made it to the 2nd continent, I hit a wall and completely lost interest in going any further. I got to a point where I felt like the missions were rinse-and-repeat and quite frankly became bored. Maybe it's the game's fault, maybe it's mine, but I just couldn't see this game to the finish. My rating is purely based on the fact that I have a self-imposed rule not to give games I don't finish above 3 stars. While I can certainly see what people enjoyed about this game, I don't think any open world detractors will see the light with Red Dead Redemption.
