Customer Ratings & Reviews

One of the few Western themed games that exists and one of the even fewer to excell. The music and sound design will surround you and spirit you away to a vast open land, albeit fittingly uninhabited, and to a time before phones and games- the world is dangerous here, but the player character is just as dangerous! The combat is satisfying, bloody, and just fun. The game uses a cover system that let's you duck behind walls, sand bag barriers, even trees if they're large enough! You can shoot guns out of an enemey's hand and they'll reach for the sky and run! Or try to scramble and pick their weapon back up again. Shoot them in the legs? Well they'll still crawl after you trying to shoot you! The physics engine used to have NPCs tumble to the ground and waver and wobble on their legs before actually falling over looks amazing! There are multiple settings to accommodate those who struggle with aiming, or are simply looking for a more cinematic/relaxed way to play. There are 56 main story missions and 18 fully fledged side missions. You will continuously run into events hapenning in real time (e.g. somebody just had their horse stolen and you could help them. Or somebody asking for a ride back into town, but when you go to help them, they try to steal your horse!) The story leans toward the main character wanting to give up a life of wrong doing, so for anybody who wanted to be a bad to the bone bad guy, that does conflict very harshly with the story even though you absolutely can do that. There is even an exclusive item that is only obtainable when you are extremely hostile in the game don't do good things for people. The honor system mentioned above is very simple, as doing good makes people like you as well as law men, while doijg bad makes people not like you- however gangs of outlaws can actually join you or you join them if you're bad enough! If you dont rush, this is easily a 60+ hour game. This copy of Red Dead Redemption also adds a whole entire second game though! Using the same map as the first game with the same combat mechanics, the main character is thrown into a spin off (not canon to the main game) where a never ending night sweeps the land, and all the weary souls who have died on the western frontier are now crawling up from beneath the Earth! Characters from the main game will appear in this game so I personally reccomend you play the main game first, but it is not at all necessary and you will not be missing anything. If looking to play casually i think the game takes about 6 hours to finish and 15 hours or more if you're exploring and looking to 100% This game is a 93/100!

Amazing video game; likable characters, fun gameplay, incredible story, you can't go wrong with Red Dead

Great hd port. You can play this on the PS5 to get 60 fps unlocked

Great Game Better than Red Dead Redemption 2 in my view.

If you are a fan of Westerns or a fan of RDR 2, you need to play Read Dead Redemption. It came out before RDR2 a long time ago, so the graphics arent as crisp as the newer one. But for the time RDR was one of the best looking games and it still kinda holds up. If you finished RDR2 and want to find out what happens after, this is a must for you. I really hope Rockstar makes RDR3 and fully takes advatage of the power of the new consoles. Im sure GTA6 is going to be amazing! Cant wait and hoping for a RDR3!

If you haven't played this game in a long time this is the way to do it. 60 fps and 4k on PS5 makes it feel like a new game. I'm having fun with it and it feels like a new experience. I got it on sale for $30 but I feel the launch price should of been $40 not $50 and I would of gotten it on release date that's how good it looks and plays.

Bought for the PS5 60fps mode! Seriously, buy this game if you want the greatest cowboy/bandit game ever made!

Played this game before and its still a great game to play to this day

I never played this back on PS3, so I'm happy to finally have it playable on a current gen Playstation. Looks and plays great. Get it on sale though, full price is too much for a game that wasn't remade or fully remastered.

Just a straightforward port of an all time classic. 60fps has been added, at least when playing on PS5. It's the original red dead and dlc, that's really all you need to know.

This is a masterpiece. If you ever played this game in PS3 you would like to play it in PS4/5.

"Red Dead Redemption" for PS4 is a stunning open-world masterpiece, offering a compelling blend of deep storytelling and engaging gameplay. Set in the American frontier, it features an intricate world rich in detail and a morally complex protagonist. The game excels in combining exploration, combat, and interaction with diverse characters, all within a beautifully rendered environment. Its fine-tuned mechanics and attention to detail, from weather to wildlife, make it a benchmark in gaming, providing an unforgettable and immersive experience.

A fantastic game that still holds up years after it's release.

Terrible Best Buy service. Absolutely worst. Had 2 people mess up my order. But game itself is a great classic Such a collectible piece.

Although I agree that RDR2 is the superior game, the first Red Dead Redemption still holds a special place in my heart all these years later. 100% worth a play if you never have. The story and gameplay still hold up !

Excellent game play. Graphics are very well done. Play through is entertaining.

This is a great open world action/adventure game. I played it on the PS3 and it looks even more beautiful on the ps4. Good price at Best Buy.

Greta game. Repetitive use. So much stuff to do in the open world. Would recommend for gamers and great story telling fans of games.

Awesome game. Once start playing can't put it down.
