Game Description
|
Loaded with fantastic graphics and gameplay, and inspired by the Spaghetti Western movies of the 1960s and 1970s,
Red Dead Revolver is both brutal and humorous. On the Frontier where the law has little claim, you will shoot
your way through a land filled with ruthless crooks, corrupt officials, and heartless killers. You are Red the
gunslinger, orphaned as a child and then raised by the wise Indian Master. One day, in a dream, your killers
are revealed to you, and your destiny is set: the Wild West will run with blood and the fire of your vengeance.

Rewiews
|
As far as anyone can remember, Western-style shooters of some kind have graced the videogame area.
Whether it was Custard's Last Stand, Desperado, Freddie Farkas, Gunsmoke, Sunset Riders, Mad Dog McCree,
or even Lethal Enforcers 2, the good old Western has been a staple gamers' could rely on, until recently,
that is. When Surreal Games and Activision demoed Gunslinger at E3 in 2000, the fever for the dusty,
relentless Western rose once again, only to be cut brutally short. Now, after acquiring Capcom
Entertainment's once promising Red Dead Revolver from a sure hanging, the master of all things mafia,
guns and style is giving us its take on the Western, revitalizing not only the game, but the shooter
theme along with it.
Red Dead Revolver is a third-person shooter set in the Wild West with all sorts of quirks. You'll take on as
many as six different characters, ride horses, bulls and trains, converse with a wily bunch of Western varmints,
and learn the greatest tradition in the West, the quick draw. As far as Westerns go, Red Dead Revolver offers,
style, color, depth and humor. It's a unique take that fulfills one's needs to become a dirty western cowboy
bad-ass, a Clint Eastwood-like bounty hunter with a grudge against corruption, greed, and power. It's also
far from a perfect game, delivering awkward mechanics, rough visuals, and some very unpolished moments.
But it's certainly worth your while.
