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 will 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.
"One of the goals when designing the game was to create a seamless blend of action and discovery where things can happen unexpectedly at any time," says a knowing narrator, introducing features from lassoing criminals, five-finger fillet and treasure-hunting to its "Dead-eye targeting system" and "hundreds of unique characters." Have a look at the latest new trailer for Rockstar's upcoming wild west action shooter. We here at PlanetXbox360.com are really liking what we have seen so far from Red Dead Redemption and will bringing you a lot more coverage of it in 2010 as the April release date nears.
