A Western epic, taking players on a great adventure across the American frontier
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.
Features an open-world environment for you to explore, including frontier towns, rolling prairies teaming 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.

Adequate,
This review is from: Red Dead Redemption (Signature Series Guide) (Paperback)
Like so many guides recently the guide for RDR looks very good. A polished publication with plenty of illustrations and all aspects of the game adequately covered. But like so many other guides it lacks in one area; it doesn't give you any information that isn't provided by the game itself. All text for extras and items is lifted directly from the game and offers no extra information. Although all the challenges and achievements/trophies are listed it doesn't tell you how to get them. For exmple the 'Mowing Them Down' achievement cannot simply be completed by replaying a level with a lot of gattling gun kills or, if you're stuggling to kill a bear with a melee knife it doesn't mention that you can shoot it a couple of times first to make it easier, as only the final strike counts (or that that's not true for the same challenge in multiplayer). Simply put the guide doesn't go beyond the game but then this is true of most, if not all guides in recent years.I'd like to see a return to guides like Future Press' 'Resident Evil: Nemesis' guide which showed you how to complete the game in under 1hr 20mins, get all the epilogues, complete the mercenaries mini games and showed all unlockables, hidden scores and so much more. A guide that truely took you beyond the game in so many ways. As nice as the RDR guide is to look at, if you're really stuck with something in the game you'd be better checking on line. 'Every Point Counts' is a great online resource. I could only recommend the RDR guide for collectors, which is a shame because it's a truly great game.

Complete your Wild West experience,

This review is from: Red Dead Redemption (Signature Series Guide) (Paperback)
While the game itself gives you a very good experience of the Wild West, this guide book seeks to complete that experience. This guide book is really comprehensive. The beautiful illustrations, such as the one on the cover, are just the beginning. Inside, you'll find details to all the missions, side missions, items, weapons, shops, challenges, mini-games, bounty, treasures, trophies and so much more. All the information is concise and nicely laid out and easy to follow. The screenshots are satisfying huge as you would expect from a 340-page thick guide. What I like particularly is the section on the game basics/logic, or in other words, the law of the land. It covers the honor system, bounty basics, law and enforcement. It's very helpful to understand the game mechanics at the start, especially on how your honor and fame affects the people around you. There's also a huge foldout poster map that covers all the towns. Behind the map is a beautiful illustration Miss MacFarlane holding her shotgun. This map is in addition to the other maps provided. All of them are properly labeled, making sure you can locate what you need. To get 100% completion, you need to complete every task, even the mundane. Events like Stranger tasks (18 in total) only scores 0.5% each, similar to finding a piece of new outfit. I personally won't be able to discover all those side missions by myself, ever. Whether you want to collect wildflowers or raid a bear's cave, there's is always something written. For multiplayer, there's a list all the unlockables and how you can get them. They are things like guns and horses, etc. There are also many tips on the multiplayer gameplay provided by the Rockstar multiplayer test team. This guide will complete your Wild West experience. Seriously.

Decent Guide,
By
This review is from: Red Dead Redemption (Signature Series Guide) (Paperback)
The Brady games Guide will get you through the main campaign and the strangers side-missions but neglects certain areas such as where to find certain horses, a more in depth look at where to find certain animals for hunting and lastly the most simple way to get certain achievements.Overall the guide is well presented and designed but most will find it a bit lacking as the game is easy enough to get through and documents your progress well enough as to avoid getting lost or distracted. More experienced gamers may be better off just downloading guides to parts they need but gamers who are more casual will find the guide user-friendly.
