TechRaptor writes, "With Red Dead Redemption 2 on the way, I figured it was time to check out the original. No, not Red Dead Redemption, but rather Red Dead Revolver."
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
While waiting for the next batch of backwards compatible games, GCP came up with a list of 10 original Xbox Games they still want to see become backwards compatible on Xbox One.
Is there a reason you don't want to play Ninja Gaiden: Black as that is the first game but improved and is already on the XBO bc list.
Where in the F is Spliter Cell MS!
They have at least 10 games from the og xbox/360 gen that would make excellent xb1/scarlett games. MS just dont like making sequels unless its Halo, Gears, Forza, and recently Ori/State of Decay.
MS doesn't even own the Splinter Cell IP, you should be directing your first statement towards Ubisoft.
JSRF
Fatal Frame 1 and 2
Splinter cell games
Silent hill 4
Gun valkyrie
Outrun 2
So many good OG xbox games
I'd be happy with the Otogi games, brute force and conflict desert storm. Maybe some full spectrum warrior too
"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.

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.
