Red Dead Revolver is a western third-person shooter video game developed by Rockstar San Diego, published by Rockstar Games and distributed by Take-Two Interactive for the PlayStation 2 and Xbox. It is the first game in the Red Dead series.

Originally developed by Capcom, borrowing elements from their 1985 title Gun.Smoke, the project was dropped in 2002.[1] Rockstar Games purchased the game and expanded on it. Changing the style from Weird West to a Spaghetti Western allowed the developers to add more violence and over-the-top characters. The game reproduces a "grainy film" effect and uses music from various Spaghetti Western films, including film scores composed by Ennio Morricone.
