Red Faction for PlayStation 2

Pros: Good action, great explosions, cool looking levels, plenty of guns
Cons: GeoMod is stupid, AI is semi-stupid and there is no discernable plot.

It started with a vision. “What if we could uh blow up walls, then we wouldn’t have to walk around them to kill each other.” The words inspired THQ to make a game to do precisely that. Utilizing GeoMod technology, Red Faction presents the...

Pros: LOVE the heat tracker on the rail driver!
Cons: Geo-Mod? Yeah, everywhere except indoors

I once worked as a cart pusher for a local grocery store chain. I hated every second of it. Blisters were always appearing on my feet in the spots that I always press down on. I was required to wear the ugliest polo shirt I had ever seen. I was paid...

Pros: Potato
Cons: Salad

Being THQ's first big PS2 title, Red Faction had a lot to live up to. The hype surrounding it's Geo-Mod engine was pretty big, since it was the first game to supposedly let you destroy anything with splash weaponry. However, that concept sounds a...

Pros: Geo-Mod Technology, Game Play, Sound, Plot
Cons: Controls are very confusing at first

When I was originally going to buy this at Wal-Mart a little while ago, I instead bought Dark Cloud because they were out of Red Faction. So the other day, while browsing through Blockbuster’s shelves, I thought I’d pick up this game...

...

Pros: Great graphics, sound, story line.
Cons: Controls are awkward.

So far I had been extremely disappointed in my Playstation 2 console, and to tell you the truth I was thinking about selling it. They have not issued any games worth buying. Okay there is SSX, but that is just one game. And I don't think the release of...

Pros: You can shoot the background - with effects on the game! Very atmospheric too
Cons: I would have liked to see a little more variety in enemies.

While playing Red Faction, I was constantly reminded of the movie Total Recall with Arnold Schwarzenegger. Both have Mars as the background of the battle between a mighty corporation and the resistance. There are mines that harbour a...

Pros: Visuals, Sound, Geo-Mod Tech.
Cons: Multiplayer

With the exception of Quake III and Unreal Tournament, the Playstation 2 has never had a solid first person shooter adventure. Sure, multiplayer is nice, Q3 and UT both achieve high in that. But lets face it, the solo modes in those games stunk, ask...

Pros: The story, the destruction, the weapons, and the vehicles
Cons: The player models, multi-player can get old quick

GRAPHICS:The graphics for this game are very amazing and even groundbreaking (literally). The groundbreaking part about this game is that you can blow the s**t out of almost anything including the environment. The best part about this game is...

Pros: Geo-Mod technology is great, lengthy adventure, fast paced fun/
Cons: Limited multiplayer, bland level design.

When people traditionally think of the best outlet for First Person Shooter (FPS) they usually hands down default to the PC, however Red Faction eagerly seeks to dispel the belief that there is no room for a phenomenal FPS on a home console system. ...

Pros: Good graphics for the most part.
Cons: Geo Mod is not used to advance in the game like advertised.

I purchased this game after reading an article about this new geomod technology that was supposedly the first step in a whole new line of games. Well I guess it is the first step since it really doesn't work very well, as I shall explain in a later...

Pros: Great Graphics, Game-play, Sound, and story line!!
Cons: A little short, not as good of multi-player as expected.

If you were desperate enough for work and money would you work on Mars? Mining? Even if you were promised relatively good work conditions and housing?


Well, enough people did. And when they got to Mars they realized it wasn't quite...

Pros: Newly-introduced "Geo-Mod" technology, beautifully done 3-D visuals
Cons: In-game saving appears to have some glitches, mediocre multi-player modes

In the past, publisher and developer THQ, has delievered some low-grade software into the gaming market. In essence, if you aren't a fan of wrestling, or Rugrats, you've most likely never associated deeply with the company. Coming from experience, THQ...

Pros: Gameplay is superb; graphics and sound only OK
Cons: Single player is tough on default

Space. It may be the last unexplored wilderness left to us Earthlings, but with the first space tourist having just shot up through the stratosphere, this infinite vastness is now becoming within reach of us everyday,...

Pros: Geo-Mod, fast paced, lots of weapons.
Cons: Lacking multiplayer

Have you ever wanted to live on Mars? What would you do to get there? Would you toil for hours and hours day in and day out in a deep mine having brutal guards batter you around while a deadly virus is killing off all the workers and you are just waiting...

Pros: Graphics, story, effects, gameplay, AI, GEO-MOD!!!
Cons: Short, weak multiplay, console controller with a first person shooter.

Since its little blurb in a game magazine a few years ago, I was hooked on the entire concept of Red Faction. Great graphics, a story to rival Half-Life, and above all, an environment that is totally destructible. The guys behind it, Volition, have an...
