I recently picked this up used for $4. I saw the screenshots for this game and thought it would be a good game to add to my shooter collection.I didn't quite know what to expect at first. But overall I was satisfied. It kinda reminds me of "Soldier Of Fortune" because of the graphics and the constant loading time between levels. I believe Red Faction was released the same year too. But I can't understand the "M" rating. A little blood spills out when you shoot somebody, BIG DEAL!!! This game is nowhere near the gore level like Soldier Of Fortune was. OH MY GOD, AN ENEMY SOLDIER HAS A PAPER CUT! LET'S RATE THIS GAME MATURE! (just kidding.) But I do have to admit that ESRB does a very good job when rating this stuff.If you set the difficulty level to EASY you can pretty much wizz on passed it pretty quickly.It not be the best shooter on the market, but it's pretty decent for the money. I might check out the sequel as well.
possibly the most overrated game i've ever seen

i don't want to waste too much time on this crappy game... it's just not good at all, and it's pretty funny how everyone keeps saying it's good just because other people and game review sites say it is. maybe it's because this game was made years ago, before better games came along. whatever. nothing sets this game apart as fun or special, be it graphics or gameplay or story.

the multiplayer here is worth it! lots of fun and quite similar to goldeneye on 64. my copy has some strange glitch that prevents me from finishing the game(it freezes on a load screen) but this problem is probably just my copy.
The game loads up for multiplayer really fast for a game this old. The geomod is a cool feature. Blowing up stuff is always fun. Bottom line, this is the best shooter you can find for a price this low.
Great game and Red Faction Greatest Hits version DOES WORK on PS2 Slim Model Number SCPH-75001 CB

Red Faction is a great game. All of the levels are action packed and keep me interested in playing further. And to the reviewer below me stating the game does not work on a slim ps2- apparently it does work on my system.

Is a fun game that cool weapons with the missle launcher you can blow a whole in wall!
Now a word of warning!
It will work on all ps2 systems, but it may not work on the slim ps2! I have three and found it will not work on our slim ps2. But will work on the older systems!
graphics are super cool for a first person shooter!
Controls take a bit to get used to when changing weapons, but once you do they are pretty easy!
Sound is real good. The sound it makes when you blow things up is cool!
What I like is that it is a 1-2 player game! SO you can play with a friend!
Loading time is not to bad either! It is pretty quick! I do not like waiting to long for that! I was pleased with that!
Training mode is a big up to teach you the ins and out of the game! It will help you very much in game play!
I like the rocket launcher best!
You play as parker in one player mode! I do not want to spoil the game so I will say no more!
Hope this review helps! Enjoy the game! Read the warning
Difficulty Level Goes Much Too High.

I had fun with this game for a while, but later on in the game the difficulty level zooms (in normal mode;easy mode is to easy for beginning of the game). It's ridiculous. I reached one point that was impossible to get through - game over. This just ruined the whole experience for me.

This is a true PS2 classic. This is a quality fps, period.
Even today, you can bust it out, and appreciate the Geo-Mod technology, which enables you to destroy the environment, a feature missing from too many games. There's copious blood, a flamethrower, a 'photon' cannon, and grenades. Best of all, this game will destroy your TV sound system with the number of explosions. If you try a deathmatch, the sheer insanity of the pace will blow your speakers and slow down the game considerably, adding to the fun, actually.
This was a moment when they got it just right, and for a few bucks it's a fun game. Oh, and the regular mission game is good as well. You play a guy simply known as 'Parker', who is a miner on Mars, fighting the evil corporation, or something to that effect.
Highly recommended.
WOOT.

A pretty good first person shooter, some of the later levels I liked alot. But this game is nothing compared to Goldeneye or Halo. What I really liked about this game though is that when you fire a rocket launcher or use a bomb, it actually blows a hole where ever you used it. Multiplayer is pretty fun, alot better than story mode.

This game was very good when it came out, but it can't hold up to timesplitters 2, frontline, nightfire, or a lot of shooters for other systems. The graphics and A. I. aren't very good. Blowing everything up is just a gimmick. I rarely used it and there are a lot of limitations on what you can blow up. There is a good weapon selection,a good length, and not much else.
