Not sure if anyone has played this game yet. It came out in May of this year. I heard good things about it and decided to give it a try as a rental. I have been blown away. It is probably the best Western video game ever made. The graphics, storyline and just how much the game pulls you in...it's just amazing.
My roommate owns and plays this quite frequently. It looks pretty outstanding from the few things I've seen...but I've liked these GTA type games forever, so I may be slightly biased.
It does make me wonder tho....wtf happened to westerns? It seems like it's never really caught on with my generation. Not really many movies, games, or tv shows based on it...and that genre DOMINATED film for a stretch.
I agree, there aren't much these days. In the past (1930's - 1960's) there were a lot. Most modern Western movies I actually like, such as "Tombstone", "Wyatt Earp", "The Quick and the Dead", "3:10 to Yuma", "Seraphim Falls", "Appaloosa" and "Jonah Hex".
