Once again, Rockstar Games has proven that taking well-thought out risks can really pay off. The Undead Nightmare Collection is easily one of the best game add-ons that exists on the market today. The disc contains the RDR DLC Undead Nightmare, the Liars and Cheats pack, and the Legends and Killers pack.

At the end of Red Dead, gameplay switches from John Marston to Jack, his son (who after an hour of gameplay becomes one of the most annoying characters in a game). Undead Nightmare reverses that, putting you back in the saddle as John again, which is a thoroughly appreciated action. You come home one night to your family, to find that Uncle has changed into a flesh eating monster. After a scuffle, your wife and son are bitten and change into the very same monstrosities. To keep them safe, you hogtie them and lock them inside until you can find some sort of cure.

Gameplay is basically the same as the original game, which isn't overly complicated. All three combined packages give you about 5-6 new weapons, such as the Explosive Rifle, Blunderbuss, Holy Water, Tomahawk, Undead Bait, and many more. However DeadEye will become your most useful weapon, making it very easy to pick off undead that see you. An added touch to make the game more realistic is the severely reduced amount of ammo in the game, which forces the player to fire carefully instead of spraying wildly. Bullets can be looted of dead zombies that are wearing bullet belts or holsters, but you only get about 1-3 bullets a body. The famous ambience from the original game takes a horror twist, with the towns that you save being bright and sunny, while the grounds that connect them are barren, dark, and swamped with fog. This makes the zombies that you may ride past all the more scary than they already are. The zombies themselves are by far the scariest ones i've seen in a game. Their movement is one of a true zombie (none of that left4dead olympic 100m dash running crap) and can trick the untrained eye in the wilderness. The zombies themselves come in four kinds, which is similar to the original left4dead. Your standard zombies, ones that crawl very fast across the ground, ones that are very hefty and will charge and knock you over, and ones that spit acid snot.

Alongside all the zombies, the various kinds of animals that populated the wilderness have become zombified as well, except for a few horses. Yes, there's even zombie bears and cougars. Now THAT'S scary! (Note: There are both undead an living horses in equal supply). The thing about the zombie horses is that while they don't attack you, and you can still ride them, they ARE undead, which means they don't like you. One bit. They'll intermittently buck you off, ride wherever they please, or steer you into packs of Undead, so I'd recommend keeping your horse alive.

A interesting addition was the inclusion of "Mythical Creatures" into the game. These take the shape of a chupacabra, sasquatches, a unicorn (which literally takes 20 minutes to break in), and the legendary Four Horses of the Apocalypse. For the horses, when you're traveling through the wilderness, the sentence "A Mythical Creature Is Nearby" will show up at the bottom of the screen. Stay in the area and look around for a horse, and you should find it easily. Catching and breaking them is another story.

The collection also adds quite a few new game modes, like poker, liar's dice, and Undead Survival.

All In all, The Undead Nightmare Collection is a must own, otherwise Red Dead just won't feel complete without it. A must own! ***** out of *****!!

It is a great game, very well thought out and constructed. However, I am quite new at gaming so it is a bit difficult for me. But I will learn :)

this game is so much fun! if you're a fan of zombie stuff, GET IT NOW! you won't regret it!

First of all i would like to say this was my first purchase from amazon.ca and it certainly wont be my last, I ordered my game on Monday and received it in the same week.
Read dead Redemption Undead Nightmare is great, the zombie genre has become very popular this past year, from movies, tv shows and video games. Undead Nightmare gives you a great story line followed by a great free rome experience. Anywhere you go there will be zombies, what is hard to find is survivors. Everyone needs to have a copy of Read Dead Undead Nightmare it is the funnest game you`ll ever play. Game on Gamers!!

I originally gave this product a 1 star for the misleading product image, but am changing it to a full five-stars simply due to the excellent customer service on the part of beats_goes_on. They issued a full refund without my request due the item being not satisfactory. It was an unexpectedly pleasant thing to do, I definitely recommend ordering from their store.

For 30$ there's a lot of content here especially in multiplayer. Many different modes to choose from. The Undead Nightmare dlc is also really good
