"GameSpy" writer Tuttle found that the minimalist score added to the world's authenticity. Herring of "GamePro" compared the soundtrack favorably to Ennio Morricone's work on the "Dollars Trilogy". "Eurogamer"s Parkin named it "standout", praising the use of multiple instruments. Calvert of "GameStop" described the soundtrack as "superb", though noted that it "occasionally swells up without reason". "PSM3"s Andy Hartup wrote that the music complemented the action and scenery, never feeling intrusive. "Paste"s Hamilton thought that the score was integrated into the world seamlessly. The game's vocal tracks also received praise; the scene wherein Marston enters Mexico was described as "beautiful" by "GamesRadar"s Matt Cundy due to the use of the song "Far Away" by José González. "Red Dead Redemption"s multiplayer received mixed commentary. Bertz of "Game Informer" described it as "a fully featured complement" to the single-player. "GamePro"s Herring praised the variety of modes and open gameplay, but noted that it put more responsibility on the players for keeping the game interesting. Calvert of "GameSpot" felt that there was a lack in customization options for players. Sharkey of "1Up.com" criticized the leveling mechanics. "G4"s Jake Gaskill echoed this sentiment, noting that the game often respawns players in close proximity to the opposition. "Red Dead Redemption" received multiple nomination and awards from gaming publications, winning several Game of the Year awards. At the Spike Video Game Awards in 2010, the game received ten nominations and went on to win four awards: Game of the Year, Best Song in a Game ("Far Away"), Best Original Score, and Best DLC ("Undead Nightmare"). The game earned eight nominations at the 14th Annual Interactive Achievement Awards and won five, including Action Game of the Year and Outstanding Character Performance for Wiethoff. At the 11th Annual Game Developers Choice Awards, "Red Dead Redemption" won four awards of five nominations, including Game of the Year and Best Game Design. The game was not nominated for any of the jury-based awards at the British Academy Games Awards as Rockstar did not submit it for consideration. The game appeared on several year-end lists of the best games of 2010, receiving Game of the Year wins from outlets such as "1Up.com", "Computer and Video Games", "Digital Spy", "Gamasutra", "Game Informer", "GameSpot", "GameSpy", "GamesRadar", "Good Game", "The Guardian", "Kotaku", and "VentureBeat".
