Red Faction [Posted on 2003-06-11]
I played this game for the first time at my friends house over a LAN/Network hookup, and it was so amazingly fun! The graphics are okay, but they are showing age. The weapon technology is amazing! Theres like 15 weapons and some of them are: Heavy Machine gun, Rocket Launcher, Precision rifle, Sniper rifle, grenades, and the best weapon is the Magnetic Rail Driver. That weapon drives metal slugs through the walls! The coolest thing is that when you right-click with the rail driver, you use an infrared scope (heat seeking) to see your enemies through walls! The single player part is alot like Half-Life, so itll be fun if you liked Half-Life. BUY THIS GAME AND GOOD LUCK>>> JOIN THE FACTION!

A great 1st person shooter [Posted on 2003-08-08]
I bought this game recently, and I am REALLY satisfied. This game is great, especially now that its only $$$, it provides a great challenge, but not unbearably hard. it has many times of weapons, even a gun that shoots through walls. The multiplayer is also great, because there is always someone on it. The levels in it are also nice, some are big, some are small, and some are in between, and theres 3 game modes, such as Deatch Match, Team Death Match, and Capture the flag. Since this is only $$$ now, I would highly recomend it for anyone looking for a cheap 1st person shooter that is very good, I would also recomend it to anyone who just wants a first person shooter.

Really Great FPS ( First Person Shooter ) [Posted on 2004-04-25]
Red Faction is 1 of the best fps of 2001. It has an exciting story that gets you hooked. It has tons of fun wepons for all your fragging needs. THis game has a exciting new game engine called GEO-MOD tech which basicly means that u can blow up the environment. Some fun things you could do with this is make a foxhole, blow holes in walls to get to secret areas, or even blow up a bridge to stop movimg tanks or forces in their tracks! This game is very good at lighting and visual effects too. This game has many fun and exciting secrets and mysteries to find. Just for a little tidbit the funniest thing i saw was lighting bots in multiplayer on fire with flamethrowers! They run around screaming like little girls until u see their burning corpse drop to the floor!!! I would recemend this game to anyone who enjoys action/adventure, first person shooters, or just blowing stuff to oblivion!!! :)

Simply put... [Posted on 2004-09-27]
Simply put, Red Faction is a good shooter. It's fun, the graphics are decent, and it's funny. It's different in that it's a game that doesn't take itself too seriously. I often chuckle at the things that happen in the game and the way my enemies will cry for mercy before I blow them up or shoot them. For the price you've got a very good value here. If you're a shooter fan, then get a copy of Red Faction.

Ancient Pastimes [Posted on 2006-05-03]
For any of you who have seen Total Recall (with Arnold Schwarzeneggar), this game sort of plays off of the same situation that the movie delt with (all the way down to the dirt drill, which you can use in the game).

When the story starts, your a miner that has been on mars for some time, and you've experienced some pretty grim stuff, well beyond the expectations of your employer, and much worse than minimum wage.

First it starts with a sixteen hour shift, than people start to lose their sanity, and many become sick with grief, and if not grief, then perhaps what they call 'the plague' which strikes almost immidiately, without warning, killing those it infects, instantaneously, or so they say, many believe the plague has a meaning, and that it's conceivance has nothing to do with Mars.

If that's not enough, during your shift you get no breaks, only one 30 minute lunch, and almost no time to sleep in between, let alone the guards who whip your back with words while you work.

So, what is there to do about it, well, currently, there's a warrant out for the arrest of an individual named Eos, no one knows who he or she is, yet knows, that if anyone were to join together to form a rebellion, they should join with Eos. That is where your character comes in and, without choice, joins the 'Red Faction'

This is just the beginning, this is how it starts with your charactor, and how it ends, is only appropriate, much like Total Recall, you ending up saving Mars from the plague, an evil corporation, and a disastrous end.

This game is good for a simple play through once or twice, and is good to keep in the collection to maybe reminesce on or perhaps play again. Well worth the entertainment.
