And I bet JC2 doesn't have as much sand as the wild west!
I bought RDR for PS3 and have to say I loved it, better than any GTA imho, I'd rather have the option to run over people with a horse, lasso them and kidnap them before throwing them out in the wild, placing down some bait and watch the kyotes and moutain lions feast from a distance (then snipe the mountain lions for their pelts) than steal a car, run a guy over and have only the police to shoot.
Yes it's not up to the standards of JC2, but this has simplicity on it's side! You don't have thousands of side-missions that constantly drag you around the map for hours on end, instead you have the occasional kidnapping or robbery, perhaps even a gang rides into town to cause mayhem, other than that you have the mini0games which you don't have to do.
I'd much prefer having a game where not only police and gang members will shoot at you, but one where animals can be agressive also. If I'm walking down the streets or GTA I'm always looking out for gang members to shoot before they shoot me, but in the wild west I was just hapily trotting along on my horse, got off and was ploughed down by a wild boar!! Where the heck did that come from!?
Always full of surprises, and multiplayer can be great fun if you start working in a team to hold out against enemy players and sherrifs, giving yourself the biggest bounties and being called kings of the west it's got to be my fave game by rockstar
