“Red Dead Redemption” in multiplayer feels like a whole different experience thanks to the inclusion of other players and “free roam” mode. You take on the role of sheriff's deputy, revolutionary, and government marshall as you make your way across the blistering sands of New Austin to the unstable edge of Mexico that stands at the brink of war with itself. Much of the game consists of walking around like a cowboy who's armed to the teeth and showing the outlaws who's boss around these parts. Needless to say, Rockstar tells a good story and “Redemption” is no exception. Well, I suppose that's not too different from Niko Bellic wanting to take revenge on the man who murdered his squad in the Balkan War. It's a gripping tale of a former outlaw seeking redemption of his past crimes by doing the government's bidding to save his family. Most of the actions in the game involve only a few quick button presses, but the level of teamwork and communication involved in playing out each and every scenario is where this co-op experience truly shines.I'd be doing John Marston a great disservice by calling “Red Dead Redemption” a “Grand Theft Auto” game set in the Wild West. In all of this, there is a huge emphasis on simple teamwork and simply "talking it out" as opposed to bloated or tricky mechanics.
You can boost each other up ledges and even row a boat together down a raging river. Some sections will involve one player watching for guards while the other carries out objectives like unscrewing wall panels or sneaking around. In another, one player will be driving while the other is shooting from the back of the vehicle. In one section, you'll be climbing up an elevator shaft together by coordinating quicktime button presses. Sitting next to each other on the couch as you plan and coordinate each and every move between the two playable characters can be a really enjoyable gaming session.
Since the game relies on mostly simple mechanics, there's very little frustration involved, and that leaves a whole lot of room for fun. The team based action gameplay is just plain fun Everything in the game is structured to be one big cooperative experience that will have you and friend relying on one another to get things done.
