Rockstar's upcoming wild west action title Red Dead Redemption is shaping up rather well, but it most definitely isn't a game for young'uns.

According to the ESRB, which has rated the title as Mature, you can expect all kinds of adults only content. We're talking blood, intense violence, nudity, strong language, strong sexual content and use of drugs.

Read on for very mild spoilers on what to expect:

- In one sequence, a bloodied and mutilated corpse can be seen hanging from the rafters of a barn.

- The game contains a scene in which two characters have sex on a table; there is a brief instance of female nudity.

- One sequence depicts a man injecting himself with a syringe filled with cocaine.

- Language such as "f**k," "c*nt," and 'sh*t" can be heard in the dialogue.

Red Dead Redemption is scheduled for release on May 21 for Xbox 360 and PS3.

Two of my favorite films of all time are 'Once Upon a Time in the West' and 'The Good, the Bad and the Ugly', so I'm quite excited by this.

I'm interested in this one for sure. looks like the wild west could be a whole lot of fun thanks to Rockstar.

I don't think I've ever been especially interested in the wild west or "western" genre games or movies. This looks different though. Maybe not a day - one purchase anyway.

I don't see why an Australian release should be a problem for this given God of War III, Heavy Rain and of course GTAIV were all passed censorship here. I guess the worst that can happen is that content is cut from the AU release and it would have to be pretty crucial content for it to be an issue. But you could always import for PS3 anyways...

Judging by the trailers on both consoles, Xbox looks more solid. Graphics are cleaner, framrates are better too.

If your getting it for multiplayer alone, go for PS3.... just because its free.

If your going for singleplayer, go 360. It looks way better.

Get it for the PS3, the Multiplayer will be better on the PS3 and very likely the frame rate dude.
