Review of Red Dead Redemption: Undead Nightmare

Undead Nightmare is really a little bit more of what you loved from Red Dead Redemption. The zombie killing is actually pretty fluid for the most part, and there are new toys to play around with like the torch and the blunderbuss. The storyline is hilarious in its tongue-and-cheek approach to characters established in the main game, especially the beginning moments, but kind of loses steam at the end, which is a shame as the main game in itself is incredibly short. The Challenges are back in a more satisfactory form; no more godawful plant collecting to be seen, however I did find it to be a little bit tedious wandering the wilderness waiting for one of the awesome horses of the apocalypse to appear;though these magnificent beasts are worth the sidetrack or two. The multiplayer is once again a standout here, red dead gets its own hordish mode that has great pick-up-and-play value. Recommended to those who liked and have the first; I wouldn't buy this on its own like it is being sold in stores due to how fast you can power through the main quest, one sitting if you are a Speedy Gonzalez.
