The game is set in 1908; it focuses around a former outlaw, John Marston. Marston has been given the primary directive by government agents to kill or capture his former gang members, which includes his old 'friend' and gang leader Bill Williamson. If he does not do so, his family will pay the price. Along the way Marston is given work as the game will use open world gameplay similar to the Grand Theft Auto series (also by Rockstar) with sandbox environments and a free-roaming ability. The environments include frontier towns, prairies, and mountain passes. The game features over 40 different types of animals that can be hunted including cattle, bison, beaver, bears, cougars, rattlesnakes, deer, wolves, mustangs, coyotes, wild boars, vultures, bighorn sheep, elk, birds and others. John Marston has an arsenal of weapons to choose from that include semi-automatic pistols, revolvers, lever or bolt-action rifles, knives, dynamite, molotov cocktail , a lasso, and a mounted Gatling gun or cannon. Random encounters generate as players explore the countryside, these include hangings, ambushes, pleas for help and animal attacks. Many Mini quests are available to challenge you in. These mini-games include showdowns, gambling, hunting bounties and animals, cattle herding, arm wrestling and five finger fillet. taken from wikipedia looks like a good game
