DESCRIPTION

Red Faction: Guerrilla is a shooter that eschews the series' confined paths and first-person viewpoint in favor of a third-person perspective set in a vast open-world landscape. One thing the series hasn't changed, however, is its revolutionary tone. The original Red Faction found gamers rebelling against a corrupt Martian mining corporation, Red Faction II saw players back on Earth taking down a totalitarian regime, and Red Faction: Guerrilla finds gamers rising up again, this time against an Earth Defense Force (EDF) that has grown corrupt in its occupation of Mars. Players assume the role of Alec Mason, a young man who, much like Red Faction's protagonist Parker, came to Mars to work as a miner but soon found himself in the middle of a proletariat insurrection.

As Mason, gamers can freely explore the expansive Martian landscape, joining fellow revolutionaries as they ambush EDF convoys, attack military outposts, and explore mines, industrial compounds, and thriving cities. Players can use an array of different weapons, from futuristic military fare like nano-rifles, to improvised armaments like arc welders, and a variety of machines, such as armored personnel carriers, tanks, and mining excavators, can be hijacked and used against the enemy. The "Geo-Mod 2.0" engine expands on the series' acclaimed emphasis on destructible environments, allowing gamers to systematically destroy any man-made object, from bridges, to huts, to towering skyscrapers. Red Faction: Guerrilla also puts its engine on display in several different multiplayer game modes, including "M.A.Y.H.E.M.," "Fall Guy," and "Rampage." ~ Christopher Brown, All Game Guide

“This game is so close to being great, but it just misses. The destructible environment, the hammer and the demolition side of the game was so fun and a great innovation, but they didn't use it to its fullest. It slowly becomes another shoot'em...”

“This game would be about an hour long if they didn't include so many timesinks and busy work. I'm seriously, just gonna do the story missions and see how fast this game is over with.”

“Well it's more Red Faction. That's always a good thing right?”

Wibblefish played Red Faction: Guerrilla on 29/JUN/10

“Played this for a little bit today, and kept on dying - partly because the controls aren't very intuitive, and partly because I'm shite at it.”

Red Faction: Guerrilla (X360) by: Shadsy

“What it lacks in interesting structure it makes up for in utter chaos and freedom. This game distills sandbox open worlds to its core elements, leaving behind one of the few games with complete player-driven direction. Don't forget the insane...”
