While I agree that RDR has seen increased hype/marketing lately, in my opinion it doesn't even come close to the amount of hype GTA4 had, which makes sense if you think about it. GTA4 was a heavily anticipated sequel to a well-established and very popular franchise, whereas Redemption is just a 'spiritual successor' (not a direct sequel) to a game released 6 years ago.

As with any review, it's a good idea to pay more attention to the actual comments made by the reviewer than the number slapped on it.
