Undead Nightmare is a bargin any way you look at it. You get a lot for your money. If you want to complete everything plan on investing a solid 10 to 20 hours.

I'll try to give a quick overview that doesn't give much away.

You are once again playing as John Marston. This time you are trying to find out why zombies have taken over the west. If you want to put a time stamp on this game it takes place between John Marston reuniting with his family and the end of Red Dead Redemption.

While you take on various tasks through the storyline you find yourself rescuing town after town from zobmie hordes. This gets a little old after a while but you get different weapons from each town you save. One reason this gets old is because no town is saved forever. The zombies will attack again.

The story takes you through Texas and Mexico on your hunt to stop the hordes. Along the way you run into many of the characters from Red Dead Redemption. I can't give away the ending but but it is one of the best endings you will find in a game. It is awesome.

Beyond the story there are new things to hunt, new random events, and new weapons which will keep you busy for hours.

The only thing keeping this from being 5 stars is the fact that it gets repeative after a while. Even considering that this is a must have!

This is an amazing DLC (downloadable content). However you must beware.

This same bundle is available on PSN as a bundle with Liars and Cheats,Legends and Killers, and of course, Undead Nightmare at $20.00, so be aware this has an advantage only through it being re-tradable.

I would give The Undead Nightmare DLC an easy five stars, but I'd recommend that you download this instead. The other two DLC packs just are not worth $10 a piece. I think I read somewhere that Rockstar wanted to release those two packs for free, but were contractually obligated to have them cost money as they'd already released free DLC. I think this shows as there's really not that much to do in those packs unless you really want to play RDR poker or throw a hatchet. If that's worth $20 for you, then be my guest! Otherwise Undead Nightmare is a fantastic add on. It's creepy, funny, and beautiful looking. I haven't even finished regular Red Dead Redemption story before I jumped into this. Highly recommend, but just download it off PSN instead, and if you must, buy the other two packs next time they go on sale.

Let's just say this DLC caught my attention right away. Blending westerns and zombies (two of my favorite types of games) seemed like such a good idea it should have been done a long time ago. While I originally felt a little disappointed it was only DLC, it turned out to feel very much like an entire game in itself.

The Red Dead series is just plain fun. While Undead Nightmare is considered DLC, it does not shrink the size of the world from Red Dead Redemption. The map is huge with plenty of towns to save, citizens to save from the zombie hoards, and buildings to explore. Fast traveling between towns is a little different from Redemption, but it makes re-saving towns much less stressful. There are loads of new weapons, weapon combinations, outfits, animals, and horses to break (including the Four Horses of the Apocalypse and even a Unicorn). The only part of this game I feel leaves too many questions is the end. Don't worry, I won't say anything specific, but anyone who has gotten there should know what I mean. It's not enough to detract anything from the title, but it seems to come out of nowhere.

You can download this pack for $19.99 on PSN or I just bought a used stand-alone copy for the same price to save a few gigabytes of bandwidth. Either way, it's a great time.

Want Red Dead Redemption: Undead Nightmare Discount?

To be fair i've only played the game a few times so take this review in that light. I'm not sure what I was expecting but after reading so many glowing reviews I figured for 19.99 what did I have to lose. The game just seems tedious to me. Going from town to town killing zombies(ho-hum). Maybe i'm just zombied out right now. I'll give it a few more tries then update my review.
