To start off. I am stationed somewhere where I have to order my games. When I got this in the mail the other day, I was pumped. Gamepro.com rated it very high, and others gave it average ratings. I put it in the XBOX, and to say the least I was dissapointed from the get go. I like realism in games. This game could have been wonderful, with the geo-mod technology they proclaim to use. NEGATIVE.. Only very specific walls can be blown up. Any game can do that. The AI just stands out in the middle shoots. Once you shoot back, it looks like you have shot the back wall with a red paint-ball. Most of the weapons are extremely underpowered except for a few. But you won’t need much firepower because your character hardly ever dies, except in spots where the cheap computer guards. When grenades hit them, the “separate” into four defined pieces unless you get the rare legs that are left standing. The most frustrating thing about this game is the obvious lack of time the developers spent. Voice cues are out of sinq with the characters, so you get the japanese godzilla looking conversations. All in all this game leaves alot to be desired. Your teamates couldn’t be any less helpful except ordering you around. I wish I could have rented it before buying it. I would have turned it in the same day. Not worth the [money] and to some not worth the weekend.

This game is a little corny and a little crappy for an FPS in campaign mode, but there are a lot of fair multiplayer options. Destructible environments, many different weapons, tons of maps (more than I’ve ever seen in a game), many goofy looking creatures to choose from, and 1 thing the people of Bungi forgot: BOTS! Although the Bot AI is just random – they run around and shoot, run around and shoot. Always running, never stopping. Still, the multiplayer is worth a couple bucks in the discount bin if you find it.

This is an excellent port of the Ps2 version and includes the cool geo-mod engine. but it falls short on gameplay, THERE ISN’T ENOUGH, it will only take you a few sittings to complete this game, but it does have upsides!

The geo-mod engine, which was almost completely ignored in the first one is back and better, including several missions that require you to alter your surroundings.

If you’re sick of Halo, give this a try, but try before you buy.

I saw this game in the store and grabbed it right away, after playing the first Red Faction I thought this would only be better. I was wrong.

If you are looking for something better than the first Red Faction, this is not it, keep on looking.

this game SUX. I didn’t do anything. I chose easy and yet you were still shot at alot. I spent so much time figuring out what to do, and shooting my gun at the same time. I didn’t try multiplayer even i thought it would be good. THQ sux. luckily i rented it. you should do the same if your thinking about this.
