I have played many games for a long time and this is probably one of the best games I have ever played. The story is great, has amazing characters and personalities, great plot and events, the graphics are incredible, and overall has just a wonderful experience. I played the life out constantly of it from how good it really was.
Now if I am going to go through and talk about the bad stuff in this game. Starting off, profanity. One thing I did notice in this game, is that it has constant use of severe language. I’m talking every now and then, they will say the s-word, f-word, b-word, d-word, and God’s name is misused multiple times. It’s to the point where language gets it an automatic M rating.
Next, violence and blood. Like language, violence is pretty bad. Now this is a free roam game, which basically means you can avoid missions and do whatever you want, and that sometimes can be dangerous based on what you do in the game. Example: You can go around and shoot anyone you want, tie them up in a rope, choke people, beat them to death, burn people alive, throw them off a cliff, feed people to the alligators/wolves, drown them, etc. Another pretty bad thing you can do is shoot people in the head with a multiple of weapons, and excessive blood is shown. If you shoot people in the head with a shotgun, lets just say that their head explodes with carnage. So blood and violence is pretty bad.
Next, sex and nudity. The sex and nudity in this game is mild. In fact, there is no sex or nudity except for one scene. One mission, you can go to the bar with Lenny and get drunk to lose Lenny and try and find where he is. While finding where he is, there is a room you can go to in the back where you see two people having sex. The women is naked and the man is partially clothed. Though, if you go the bar at any other time, from what I know the room is locked and you cannot proceed to enter the room. You find people flirting with each other sometimes, but basically that is all the sex and nudity in this game.
Finally, drugs/alcohol/smoking. Because this is the Wild West, you can go to the bar and drink alcohol and smoke cigarettes/cigars. You have a choice to do these things, but even if you decide not to do them, you will still find other people doing it sometimes. Drugs is mild. You can go to a drugs store and get medicine/drugs to take, but that is it. Alcohol and smoking is more severe then drugs is so I wouldn’t worry about that too much.
Anyway, I hope you found this review helpful. Sorry I couldn’t shorten this review down. I just wanted to be specific on this stuff because if your a parent looking to buy this game for your kid, I would probably turn it down for the content in the game. Don’t get me wrong, it is a great game but you should probably wait until your in your teens to play it. So if I had to recommend what age you should be at to play this game, probably 15+. Overall, I’d say this game deserves a five star rating. Anyway, thanks for reading and God bless every one of you!
