When I first played this game I thought it would be another of those FPS who have great ideas, but really stink. I was so surprised. Everything looks realistic. The guns are sweet, the graphics are great, the sound is awsome, and, the best part, you can blow right through walls. Don't have a keycard? Just blast a hole in the wall and you have just done the soon-to-be-famous technique, wall-be-gone! You can destroy bridges, pilot vehicals, and snipe victoms from a distance. Is there a big tank coming your way? Just pop a hole in the ground and down it goes! This is defenitly a must buy.

Who's sick and tired of walls being your blockade? Well, i am. I think this game next to metal gear solid sons of liberty is the best game ever. I don't care in the next 1,000 years and there is better games. This will be no matter what, the best game ever! What I'm tring to say is, you can pretty much completely destroy everything with the right weapons.

a MUST HAVE for anyone with a ps2

To start off this is one of the best console fps i've ever played. if you like perfect dark, medal of honor, or anything else in the genre then there's no way you won't like this.

To start off the environments, in this case a mine on mars, are beuatifully done. In the mines there is very little light, and the yells of the guards echoe as the come after you. the sound is done perfectly, to the hiss of rockets flying to the crackle as your stepping on glass.

one of the best features the geo mod technology, is one of the many things that makes this game awesome. if you shot rockets they make holes in walls, pillars, and the floor or ceiling instead of just exploding making no damage as in quake etc. also you can bypass certain "broken" doors by blowing holes around them. it's great seeing the damage of a huge boss fight on the environment.

another cool feature is there are no real "levels" in this game, you can save at any time in during the game and it's never really split up into parts, only short load times between certain areas give some seperation.

overall this is one of the best games avialable now for ps2, i would recommend it to anyone. worth the 50 bucks

the best fps ever

Red Faction is the best first person shooter on PS2 and probably the best one ever. Red Faction combines gameplay from two other great first person shooters, Half-Life and Goldeneye 007. Red Faction is far supirior to both of these thouigh. For starters Red Faction uses Geo-Mod Technology. For example if you shoot a wall wiht a rocket launcher it will create a big crater or vlast a hole through the wall. If you can't hit a sniper in a tower, no probelem, just blow the wall down. Or shoot a hole into a pipe and watch the steam come poring out. The aresnol is great. There are 15 weapons, most of which have as second option for fireing. For exapmle with the flamethrower you can either blast a long flame or chuck the gas tank attched to the flamethrower and use it as a bomb. Other weapons include a control baton (tazer), riot shield, 12mm pistol, submachine gun, automatic shotgun, assult rifle, sniper rifle, remote charge, grenade, rocket launcher, rail driver, precision rifle, heavy machine gun, and a fusin rocket launcher. For those Metal Gear Solid fans there is one part of the game where there is one part in the game where you go into stealth mode and have used a silence pistol and hide the boddies. The game has four different levels of difficulty ranging form easy to impossible. So weather your a hardcore gamer or a just a beginner this game is perfect for you. This game will take longer then a weekend to beat also. In facto it could take you quite a while. You are aloud to save wherever you wish to during the game because there are no levels. The game does have to load sometimes but these loads are qucick and far apart. The preste controls are easty. The left anolog stick moves you foward and back and the right analog stick is used to turn. R1 is the fire button. These controls can be changed quite simily though. But the game does not allow you to use the d-pad to move. The story of the game is set in mine on Mars. You name is Parker, a rebelios miner whi joins up with the reble group, Red Faction. Many of the miners are dying of a plague in the mine and you want to find out why they are dying and why no one is doing anything about it. But be careful this one may go all the way to the top.

Lay Off/Cool Game

.... this game looks quite good. I have been following its developments thru magazine articles. It looks as if the game is going to build off the shortcomings of past fps (first person shooters). There is a new feature called Geo-Mod technology that allows nearly every solid object in the game including wall to be shot or blown down. There are supposed to be up to 4 vehicles for you to control. There are also to be many weapons for you to use including rocket launchers, pistols, machine guns, and a gun that I think is called a rail gun. It allows you to fire a high velocity slug that will penetrate walls in a single shot. The gun also includes an inferred censor that allows you to see behind the wall. This game looks as if it will be a winner, but we tell until the game comes out on May 25.

Best Game On Playstation 2

The advancement of games now is amazing, it wasnt that long when we were all amazed by pacman and tetris, but by looking at this game you have to feel humble. Red Faction is a truly excellent game that can only compliment its programmers. It out classes Quake, Halflife and many other 1st person shootem up's. There are 20 different levels in one player mode to conquer and a multiplayer mode to keep you and a friend busy for a long time. You can destroy walls, pillars and other objects which have a dramatic outcome on the level of the games as by doing this it can be to your advantage or it can hinder your progress. If you have just bought a Playstation 2 then this is the game for you as it shows off all of the machines potentcial

Incredibly fun 1st-person shooter

After playing the demo, which was plagued with nasty slowdown, I held out little hope. But the released product was actually quite good. More than a little Half-Life influence, which drags down the originality score, but RF more than makes up for it with solid gameplay, compelling sound, tight control, and a cohesive storyline. I can understand the plot complaints though, as it did tend to get slightly dry and boring at times. But overall, this is certainly one of the very best 1st-person shooters for the system. Too bad the "Geo Mod" technology was only a shallow gimmick.

Geo-mod helping to change first person shooters

I ordered this game just by reading the review written by its makers, and I was delighted when it arrived. You start out in a mine, and a revolt is begining, and you have to fight for the cause. The geo-mod makes the game very interesting, because you can blow holes in most walls, need a key, why not make a new door. You can blow up pillars, walls, and everything in between. Anyway, I recieved this game, and i couldnt put it down, I spent 4 hours straight, and the game is still going, and i am still very interested. All I can say is if you want somthing new, this is it.

The Red Faction Wants YOU!Trust me,you want to join..

Alright. I'm not one for first person shooters,but this baby is worth a look by anyone who does enjoy straight up action. Hell,I played through the demo I received half a dozen times. First off,the Geo-Mod technology is far from a gimmick. Basically,you can blow stuff up good in real time. Remember the rescue scene in the Matrix?That's what the rooms look like after certain battles. Especially rocket launcher duels in multiplayer. While this new technology is nice,it would mean jack if the gameplay wasn't tight. And it sure is. Fantastic weapons,level designs, and fun vehicles to pilot add up to a winner. The multiplayer is a tad thin,but it's still a blast . For those of you who know your copies of Half-Life and Perfect Dark better then you know some of your loved ones and families this bad boy is definitley for you. Just do me a favor,remember to eat and use the facilities OK?
