  1. Red Dead Revolver could very well be THE game to keep the Old West genre from riding off into the sunset once and for all.

    A game that finally does the Western action genre some tough justice.
  3. A gorgeous game, flawlessly presented in a fashion that will have you think you are watching and then participating in your very own Spaghetti Western. Sure there are plenty of old movie clichés, but it wouldn’t be the same without them.
  4. Everything they have put in the game melds together fantastically well to create the best spaghetti western game for this generation of console systems.
  5. Perhaps the closest I’ve ever seen to a western film brought to the Xbox screen, and at the same time, could’ve been so much more.

    I was absolutely floored that this game didn’t come Live enabled. The ability to showdown across the internet alone deserved the attention, but the multiplayer game they did include could have definitely added some value to the title if it could be played remotely.
  7. This here game is a-brimmin' with more gunslingin', hoss-ridin', outlaw-shootin' goodness than you could fit in a stagecoach's worth of 10-gallon hats. It's rootin' AND tootin'.

    Fun game, I'm having a very good time with it. I wouldn't say it's worth fifty bucks, but you can nab it for 20 bucks at Videogamedepot.com, among other places, and it's well worth it. Full Review »

    This is the best game i have ever played.
  3. Rescued from cancellation by Rockstar Games Red Dead Revolvers strained development is all too obvious in the games lack of polish, both in terms of visuals and gameplay. Despite this there are enough interesting ideas in this third-person shooter to ensure it never becomes a chore to play and, if nothing else, it provided the template for the fantastic follow up Red Dead Redemption.
