I've been replaying Red Dead Redemption a bit over the last few days. I just got to the bit where you cross over a big river from the USA to Mexico while chasing the man you are hunting down.
I should mention the sound design and music in this game. It really helps create the atmosphere the game has from the almost silent prairies with only the odd animal sound to the really booming thunder when there is a storm.
Anyway, the point in me bringing this up is that there are a few points in the game where you get a song played. The most unexpected is when you first arrive in Mexico. You get on a horse and start riding up a hill then over the top and see the huge canyons before you. The song that plays is this one. It is surprisingly effective. I've tried to find a good video that also demonstrates what you see when it happens but nobody seems to have recorded a decent version of it.
