Red Dead Redemption was another example of how adept Rockstar are at crafting massive and exciting open world games. Value for money in a Rockstar game has never really been called into question, and Undead Nightmare represents another reason why their DLC packs deserve the same plaudits.

Rather than adding more of the same to the developer's Western adventure, Undead Nightmare takes the winning gameplay formula and adds something completely fresh to it. When a zombie apocalypse descends on the plains, John Marston has to find the source of the outbreak and set off in search of a solution. The main quests are numerous and deeply involving, adding plenty to get excited about by themselves.

The extra little tidbits and nuances perfect the experience, though. Random encounters are given an undead twist as deformed bandits and wildlife roam freely. The addition of four horses of the apocalypse to find and tame dial the supernatural edge even higher. As all of these parts form a whole, Undead Nightmare becomes something distinct and different disguised as a familiar game. It's instantly accessible, and a massive addition to the core game.
