Red Dead Redemption: Undead Nightmare

Red Dead Redemption: Undead Nightmare is a full-fledged installment of the Red Dead series, offering amazing content. The player once again has the opportunity to play the role of John Marston, but this time in slightly more unexpected circumstances - John is looking for a cure for the ongoing zombie plague.

The plot is funny, John encounters many funny situations and characters during his search. The plot is also interesting, but individual tasks may seem a bit too repetitive - most of the tasks are based on repeated sequences of defeating subsequent infected.

The gameplay itself is good, just like in Red Dead Redemption, but some players may find subsequent similar tasks simply boring. Exploring the world again can be an interesting experience, but for players who haven't played Red Dead Redemption, the world may seem a bit empty.

Rockstar has created something that, despite its flaws, such as too repetitive gameplay or a slightly empty world, will be remembered for a long time and should appeal to many players due to its uniqueness and amazing atmosphere.

Chupacabras, Bigfoots, and zombies, hell to-the- yes. If only Rockstar would actually release a DLC like this again, but obviously repetitive online gaming is the best new thing (not really). This was peak Rockstar dlc though. So many cool things to do, interesting things to find, including unicorns, and a cool, final farewell to John Marston. Loved this conclusion, loved the insanity.

In a twist on the main game, Red Dead Redemption, this alternate game is literally a nightmare. You're still in the old west, but the story mode is about zombies. If you're a horror fanatic and love zombies, then you'll love this game. It definitely is a whole new genre, as well as intense.

This expansion game does not need the base game to be playable, which is great if you don't already own Red Dead Redemption. Story mode for Undead Nightmare lasts roughly around six hours, not near as long as the base game. It is however like the base game, an open world and the player can diverge from the story and do side missions as well.

The enemies and animals you encounter are also plagued with zombieness, and are somewhat more aggressive than the enemies of the base game. The game play is similar to that of the Left for Dead series of games, or The Walking Dead games. Unlike the base game though, fast travel is removed, and three new creatures are added; a unicorn, sasquatch and El chupacabra.

Red Dead Redemption is a milestone for open world videogames and was the first ever with a western setting. But Rockstar Games decided to go one step further with their DLC Undead Nightmare, which turns the game into a zombie-apocalypse-western.

Rockstar's story and mission design are excellent as always. Their games' biggest strength is the satirisation of the United States of America and it works here again. Their developers' creativity has no limits, the player profits immensely from that.

This time there are bigfoots, burning horses and an unicorn.

The only aspect you may criticise is, that it is too short. There are only 10 story missions and some of them are pretty easy and a bit boring. So that's why the main game is superior to this dlc.

However both of them are recommended to play. These are historical pieces of art you can learn from, and most importantly, that will give you a lot of fun! Before watching a zombie movie, just play the best one available!

Remember when Rockstar actually put effort into their DLCs? We had no idea we were living in a short golden age (as far as DLC is concerned) between GTA IV and RDR.

Calling this a zombie reskin is far too simplified of a statement. This alternate storyline blew doors off hinges when it came to DLC expectations. For a measly 20 bucks, most of us felt like we were getting a brand new game!

Best DLC of all time!
