I don't have anything bad to say about this game. The action, graphics, Geo Mod, etc, are all excellent and get 5 out of 5 from me. The AI is good to excellent; I would say between 4-5. The only thing I would say is that the monsters should have had better AI. Weapons are awesome. Using submarines, trucks and the hover crafts is cool. The Geo Mod makes the multiplayer mode a lot of fun. ANYBODY WHO LIKED HALFLIFE WILL LOVE THIS GAME. I highly recommend this to anyone who likes first person shooters.

SWEET!

I've been playing FPS since the days of Doom and Wolfenstein, and, I still enjoy those two games. That's beside the point. My latest kicks have been Counterstrike and Unreal Tournament. And, I must say, the Red Faction demo blows the ... out of all of them. The possibilities are endless! Think of the fun if Counterstrike allowed you to burrow across the map! I just hope Volition has made the modding as simple (relatively) as UT. And, IMHO, it was time for the game that redefines the FPS genre to have an epic storyline. The last commercial FPS that really took off (as far as I know, anyway) with some semblance of a storyline was Half-Life, and that played out like a typical sci-fi horror flick. Red Faction has to be the coolest looking game to come out in a long time. If I had ... bucks right now, I'd definitely pre-order this. But I guess I'll just have to wait. Oh well.

Cool-Cool

This is a pretty good game, i still dont think that the single player is as good as Half-life was but its fun. It has some very cool features, such as being able to holster your gun, blow up walls and go through them and being able to pick up and hide bodies. I think a good way to describe this game is a cross between Deus Ex and Half-life. I think the MP could have been better but this game is good for the money.

If you like 1st person shooters that are fast paced you'll love this game. It gets a little hard in places so start out in the easiest mode first. Good luck

Good game but the Geo-Mod feature is barely ever useful

This is a good FPS game, but I can't say there's much in the game that makes it shine above Half-Life - especially when you consider that Half-Life is about 4 years older than this game. The Geo-Mod technology is cool, but I can't remember a single door that I could blast through. Walls, yes, sometimes you can blow holes in these to useful effect....but doors, you wouldn't need to blast through anyway, because if there's something on the other side that's useful, then you can usually open them when you need to anyway. So, other than the Geo-Mod, which is seriously under-utilized since you can't use it everywhere, this is really just an okay game.

I need more gaming.........too short!

This game was great from the start, graphics, sound, environment, characters and game play was a perfect 5. I dont think this game was as long as other FPS I've played, I guess that would be the only downside for me:) Great game overall and would recommend it to anyone.

Gaming taken to its max

A lot of people smash the geo-mod tech, but really leads to a fun experience. I mean, how many times do you get to blast away enemies throught walls? How many times do you get to snipe someone with a fully-automatic sniper rifle? For fans of this genre, this is a must buy.

GREAT GAME-MUST BUY!!

Red Faction will be the basis for future first-person shooters. I have been a Half-Life fan since it first came out, and this game, while not as revolutionary as HL, is still awesome. Where else can you make endless tunnels in rock walls? Getting ... kicked every time you round a corner? Blow through the corner with the amazing Rail Gun. This game is great. A must buy for any FPS fans!

great game!

if you played half life and u love it, u will definitely love this game. its nice crisp graphics and variety of fictional weapons give it a wonderful feel. the plot is exactly the same as half-life, with different ppl, and different allies. a really good buy
