I had forgotten about this game. Thanks for the memory flashbacks!

i played this game about ten times all the ways through with my brother and it was probably one of the best games on xbox. i loved all the old timey stuff you could buy.

Red Dead Revolver's story in Redemption's world is very much like the Trojan War in our world.
It happened, but much of the story was embellished. Red Harlow (along with the other characters) likely existed, but not in the way Revolver portrays them.

Gun was also lit. The first semi-open world Western that came out shortly after RDRev. It was also made by most of the same devs. So it was essentially RDRev 2 but open world...

FINALLY, the original is getting some love. Red Dead Revolver and Gun are two of the best games to come out of that era.

Another western I strangely found a lot of fun in was Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood. First western i played thru all the way and had a decent amount of fun doing so as well.

"there is no man alive who can beat the scorpion revolver"....i think i heard this line two dozen times until he fell...what a great game this was

Got red dead revolver as a kid and have done at least one play through a year since, love it so much

I was 5 or 6 when my brother got this game who was probably 12 at the time. I watched up until the Pig Josh fight, which made my brother kick me out of the room so he could concentrate. He kept losing and I watched from a crack in the door anyway.

Sure did gloss over the multiplayer. It had like 30 playable characters and special abilities. Best game of the series imo

I'll never forget beating this game on the hardest difficulty. The dual at the end took me many many tries

"It never was about the money, it was about a cure for my LUMBAGO!"

Red Dead Redemption 3:
A much older Red Harlow continues his trials, now against the backdrop of Redemption 1&2.

I demand this.

This was one of my first M rated games, I remember I tried to rent it three times before I finally got a clerk who didn't ask for my parents

" it never was about the money " proceeds to walk off like a bad ass .... 👍👍👍

This was by far one of rockstars best game for the PS2.

I remember my dad getting this game for me when I was a kid even though he knew nothing about it. It's the reason why I even got into Red Dead Redemption in the first place, because I thought it was the continuation of Revolver lol. Great video, didn't know initially Capcom was behind this game.

I still play this game even today, the qualities of it it's undeniable and also the nostalgia that comes with that. It feels good to see that other people either have the same feeling about this game like me.

You should also look at the gun it is really underrated!

I still have fond memories of renting & beating Red Dead Revolver. The gameplay took some getting used to, as I wasn't skilled at shooters and had never seen anything like the Deadeye mechanic before. But man, after some practice, I LOVED it.

Everything from the story (though, I admittedly didn't understand all of it at that age) to the characters, music and setting was fun and memorable. I felt like a Terminator in the Old West (if said Terminator was played by a younger Clint Eastwood).

It was just about everything a kid could want in the classic cowboy power fantasy: Hunting bounties, stopping crimes (like the train robbery), exploring an old town, getting new weapons, winning shooting duels, feeling like an overall badass, etc.

When Redemption first came out, I'd honestly forgotten all about Revolver. Then, lo and behold, I loved Redemption even more (except, I sadly never beat it and eventually moved on to other games). My sister bought R.D.R. 2, but I never got into it.

It's hard to explain why, as I love everything about both those titles and agree that they improved on Revolver in every possible aspect. Perhaps the genre simply didn't resonate with me anymore (admittedly, I was never into old Spaghetti Western films)?

Or, maybe it was Revolver's simpler foundation that kept my interest, whereas the Redemption titles are so much bigger and more complex? In any case, I'll always have a place in my heart for this franchise and am grateful that it's still going strong.

I might give Redemption 2 another try someday and see if it recaptures those feelings I had for its predecessor. I wish Rockstar would remake Revolver (not just remaster), imagine what current technology could do for the adventures of Red Harlow?
