Yes and no, there is more variety in the missions on Red Dead, you might be taking down a bunch of thieves with your trusty gun, you might be hunting grizzly bears, or you might be catching and breaking horses it does have a lot to recommend it. If i'm honest I prefer GTA, I miss the cars that made commuting between missions fun rather than an exercise in either quick travelling or bashing A repeatedly, I miss the pop culture references and prefer the more modern setting. If you've ever seen a wild west movie and thought that was cool it has something for you, but I was a bit dissapointed in the length of the game 18 hours for main quest without hurrying is a bit short considering you got an achievement for doing GTA in less than 30 hours and I originally didn't get it (although still looks epic compared to lots of other modern games i'll admit). Its a very beautiful game to look at and fun to play but not quite as amazing as I was expecting having read the reviews.
