I always found that the environment felt a bit shoe-horned in.You could have these amazing green plains full of buffalo and then suddenly you're in a Montana-like forest, then suddenly you're in some mesoamerican desert, then you're in the bayou.
I really liked it but I never felt it was 'great'. Just a neat idea without a really detailed exploration of how great it could be. And I never found the story truly compelling, just a bunch of cut-scenes and set-pieces. I preferred just roaming around hunting and trading and occasionally lassoing bad dudes.

San Andreas was like that, too.
San fran, LA & Vegas were all a five minute drive from each other.They'll probably make this new one huge.

The reason I felt it was great because the sizes is big, but not too big to the point that it become tedious going from A to B via horseback, plus it's the first video games where I stop just to look at the scenery.

Yup, basically GTA in the Wild West, but much more story driven and still enjoyable to play.
It felt quite big nevausee you're on horseback rather than 100+mph cars, and it's extremely well designed that almost capture the entire south west of America.
