Fucking amazing game, god knows how many hours I have sunk into it this weekend and I haven't even scratched the surface of it.

The graphics are amazing, the way the wildlife breaks off and runs away when you go galloping past on your hoss is fucking brilliant, the attention to detail is really something else (right down to your horses bollocks shrinking in the cold weather)

You can ride around without doing anything and not get bored of it, I think I'm about 11% through the story after probably 18 hours of gameplay over the last two days, I just can't leave it alone.

Yeah the controls can be a wee bit jerky when you are in close quarters and I'm not a fan of the hand to hand combat, it annoys me when it slows you down to less than walking pace when you are in your camp but they are the only cons I can think of right now.

And I don't even play computer games these days...well the odd game of FIFA and I still play Fightnight Champion when I'm having a solitary drink and listening to my music, I had to get this though because I enjoyed Red Dead 1 so much.
