While I enjoyed playing RDR in one-player mode (but like everyone else said, the levels are short and uninvolved), I found multi-player mode to be exceptional. As far as I'm concerned, beating the game in single-player is just a means to getting more "showdown" characters and levels.I loved the levels, the number of "power-ups" and guns, and the variety of characters; it made this as fun a party game as Goldeneye or Super Smash Bros.
