Rockstar Games, the world-renowned publishing label of Take-Two Interactive
Software, Inc., is pleased to announce that Red Dead Revolver for the Xbox®
video game system from Microsoft is in retail stores in North America. The game
will be in stores in Europe on May 28, 2004 for both the PlayStation 2 and the
Xbox® video game system from Microsoft.

“We are all thrilled to have created a Western game that is different
than anything Rockstar has done in the past,” said Sam Houser, President
of Rockstar Games. “We feel this franchise will add a greater diversity
to our lineup while providing a fun, pick-up-and-play action game punctuated
with Rockstar’s distinct sense of style and humor.”

“More than anything we wanted to deliver an astounding game that is a
fun, visually stunning, arcade-style shoot-em up experience,” stated Diego
Angel, President of Rockstar San Diego. “The technology and theme combined
to give us the opportunity to create truly unique environments, colorful characters,
and a storyline that captures an authentic Western feel unlike any other console
game available.”

A blazing arcade-style third person game fueled by precision gunplay, Red Dead
Revolver is a classic tale of vengeance on the untamed frontier. The addictively
fun, innovative combat scheme rewards accurate and ruthless elimination of backwater
lowlifes. Ride down outlaws on horseback, fight bloody duels aboard trains,
command stagecoaches and more in your quest for justice. Punctuated with dark
humor and filled with the elements that make the Wild West so compelling, Red
Dead Revolver’s story is told through full motion cutscenes and breathtaking
in-game visuals.
