Developed by Rockstar San Diego, as a follow up to the 2004 hit game
Red Dead Revolver, Red Dead Redemption is a Western epic, set at the
turn of the 20th century when the lawless and chaotic badlands began to
give way to the expanding reach of government and the spread of the
Industrial Age. The story of former outlaw, John Marston, Red Dead
Redemption takes players on a great adventure across the American
frontier. Utilizing Rockstar's proprietary Rockstar Advanced Game
Engine (RAGE), Red Dead Redemption features an open-world environment
for players to explore, including frontier towns, rolling prairies
teeming with wildlife, and perilous mountain passes - each packed with
an endless flow of varied distractions. Along the way, players
experience the heat of gunfights and battles, meet a host of unique
characters, struggle against the harshness of one of the world’s last
remaining wildernesses, and ultimately pick their own precarious path
through an epic story about the death of the Wild West and the
gunslingers that inhabited it. [Rockstar Games]
