From the makers of the legendary Grand Theft Auto series comes Western epic Red Dead Redemption.
Rockstar Games' follow-up to the 2004's Red Dead Revolver is 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.
The game tells the story of former outlaw John Marston, taking players on an adventure across the American frontier.
Red Dead Redemption features an open-world environment for players to explore, including frontier towns, rolling prairies teaming with wildlife, and perilous mountain passes - all packed with various 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.
Red Dead Redemption is set for release in New Zealand February 26, 2010 on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.
