SONY published and then pulled Rockstar's PS2 game Red Dead Revolver on the Australian PlayStation store last month, but now it looks to be back for good with UK and US releases likely coming later today.
Released in 2004, Red Dead Revolver stands as a testament to Rockstar Games' ability to transcend genres and immerse players in captivating narratives. While it may not share the sprawling open-world characteristics of its successor, "Red Dead Redemption," this PlayStation 2 title holds a unique place in gaming history. The game originally started as a concept made by Capcom before being picked up by Rockstar Games.
Eleven games from the original Xbox were added to the old marketplace, including some Rockstar classics like Max Payne, Manhunt and Red Dead Revolver.
It's pretty clear at this point that Xbox are about to drop a bunch of new backwards compatible games for the 20th anniversary.
It has been 20 years?!? How old I am I! I was 18 when I played Halo... JEEZE I AM DECREPID!
I'll definitely be picking these up, would love to play through MP 1+2 and Manhunt again, and even RDRevolver.
I hope they add MP3 next!
EDIT: It looks like they're already purchasable too? I wonder if they work/run already.
Orchid I am still at work. I've been at work all day so I haven't tried them yet. But I have friends at home who tried the exact original Xbox game discs and they are not yet working. We all probably have to wait till November 15 Monday afternoon for them to work. Just four more days to go..
After next week, Dead or Alive 4 will be the only DOA not playable on xbox series consoles. Well they might even just add DOA4 to BC on Monday. That would make Xbox the only consoles to play DOA 1-6

"Cons
Paper-Thin Story with Boring Characters
Game Becomes Frustrating
Too Many Bad Boss Fights
Showdown Mode is Barebones
Bad Voice Acting"
funny, that's exactly what i thought about red dead redemption.
hoping i enjoy the second one because the first one,i played it last year for the first time, was boring as hell.
dated i guess. maybe that would have been a better con then expecting a game of that style to hold up in today's market.
Just accept its not a genre for you, if you find it boring then stay away from red dead 2 please, everyone else don't want to hear your moaning about it.
just using the same logic as the writer of this article. i liked Revolver when it first came out, yet if i were to play it for the first time this gen, compared to games today, i would $hit on it as well because the standards and quality of games are way better, when it comes to this style of game, then they were 12 yrs ago.
i played RDRD for the first time this gen and missed the point when it was cutting edge especially because of the way games are made now a days i was left feeling bored running around in an empty world playing a game that's graphics didn't age very well especially when compared to the high end open world games we enjoy this gen.
he reviewed a game 14 yrs past it's expiration date like he was reviewing a new game.
i loved Revolver back then and would have given it a 9/10. but if i played it now i would give it a 4/10.
get my point?
and yes, i will buy RDR2 because it will have today's standards, fully realized world and more realistic graphics, that will keep me entertained.
reviewing a 2004 game is a joke.
Lol I made a comment a few weeks back expressing that I feel sorry for whoever finds RDR or RDR2 boring. If you looked at RD as an Oregon trail spiritual successor then maybe you'd be able to enjoy RDR
It's like people who think Goodfellas - or maybe something more fitting, like Unforgiven - is a terrible movie.
I mean, okay I guess?
Red dead revolver is 15 years old maybe more it's going to feel dated because it is.
That's mad. Even if it's not your genre, I don't think some of those opinions are even subjectively valid.
For example, the Witcher 3 technically isn't my "kind" of game (medieval style fantasy) , but I am still blown away by it on several levels.
You honestly thought RDR1 had paper thin story and bad voice acting?
Forgive me for being blunt, but how long have you been gaming exactly?

Red dead 1 is still fun, never boring, wrong word to use for and old game. it would have been boring for you back in 2010 as well if it's boring now.
Great story in red dead 1.
World is still beautiful and most of all very atmospheric.
Good voice acting.
That's why I say stay away from red dead redemption 2, it's gonna be boring for you, you ride around and look at the world and then stuff happens, that's it, just like red dead 1.
You are just not and open world guy.
