The control in Red Faction is amazing. I've never played a first person shooter on a console that responded so well, and I doubt I ever will again. Controlling aim and movement with the PS2's Dual Shock controller is wonderfully easy, and the smooth movement of the analog sticks makes precision aim a simple task. Also, given that you can pilot five different vehicles, each with very different weapons and control characteristics, being able to turn on a dime or slowly advance is very important.
You'll find a host of weapons available to you, from pistols to rifles. While none of the weapons stand out as being unique, they do have some interesting features, and nearly all of them have a secondary fire mode.
The Rail Driver has a built-in penetrating scope that allows you to see targets through walls and snipe them as such. The precision rifle is a quality assault rifle and, with the enhanced scope, replaces your sniper rifle about half-way through the game. Eventually, you'll even find a riot shield that is good for blocking bullets and moving through enemy territory without getting too badly banged up.
Once you've gotten stuck in their crossfire, they can be pretty good about keeping up the pressure, although they do tend to get frightened and run away unusually easy.
The levels themselves are well laid out and have enough detail to keep your eyes interested. Of particular note are the 'stealth' levels, an obligatory part of every FPS that removes most of your weapons and forces you to infiltrate enemy held areas, all the while avoiding detection. These sessions are relatively short and simple, avoiding the traditional mind-numbing guesswork present in other games.
Movement, viewpoint, and weaponry are all of the standard fare, and the storyline progresses in the traditionally disappointing linear style. Loading times are immense, as the game moves from scene to scene. Red Faction supports only two players, using the split screen feature on a single PS2.
While disappointing, you can have around two to six bots in any given session, and there's a series of multiplayer levels specifically designed for this mode. While they aren't as expansive as the single player campaign, some of the levels allow you to experiment with the Geo-Mod technology, providing secret bonus areas for people willing to go the extra mile Glass punctures and shatters realistically.
Rockets deform the landscape and leave gaping holes where bedrock once stood. Characters move in a fluid manner, gripping their weapons realistically in life-like poses. The graphics engine that forms the core of Red Faction is perhaps the first game I've seen that approaches the level of complexity and detail that we can expect from next generation FPS titles. With a realistic, if not entirely global, physics system, characters move less like mannequins and more like people.
Underwater, tense submarine battles end in a bright flash, followed by a large pressure bubble from the destroyed sub, and the collapse of the sub's internal structure. Although it lacks a strong showing of lighting and particle effects, Red Faction more than makes up for it with the detail of their weaponry, scenery textures, and character models.
One of the first games that actually takes good advantage of the power of a PS2, the graphics detail on Red Faction actually approaches that of the PC version.
The only part of the audio in Red Faction that I truly enjoyed was the voice acting. With it being such a hard to find commodity, good voice acting is one of the things that can really help a game along. It helps immerse you in the game as well provide important content and hints for the storyline.
Sound effects and soundtrack were par for the course, especially since the latter only uses short, 30 second long clips that seem randomly scattered throughout the game. Probably Red Faction 's strongest piece of technology, and definitely the most hyped feature of its gameplay, is the fantastic Geo-Mod technology.
By simulating the effect of high explosive weapons on the game environment, the Red Faction engine allows you to instantly deform the ingame environment. Although the prospects of being able to destroy, at will, nearly any barricade can create new opportunities for gameplay, something else must be said first. Blowing stuff up is fun! I don't think I realized what I was missing until Red Faction gave it to me.
Knowing that I can destroy a wall, exposing pipe work and internal structure, and climb inside the blast crater is pure, indescribable bliss. The only shame is that they didn't include weaponry that could destroy everything in the game, as there are still some blast doors too large and massive to be destroyed with conventional explosives. If you ever want, need, or crave a good FPS game for a console system, get this game.
Beyond any doubt, Red Faction has the best control, look, gameplay, and weapon variety I've ever seen in a console based FPS, and it definitely shows. As one of the first next generation FPS games, it incorporates new ideas like persistent environment deforming and a nearly global physics model.
Red Faction is a good buy for anyone with a PS2, hands down. I wouldn't avoid this title unless you really don't like science fiction, or you're not a fan of FPS games. Mars will be free! Abundant in mineral wealth, the Ultor Corporation has established a foothold on the Red Planet and constructed mining facilities to extract the precious Martian ore. Bloated with profits, powerful from their greed, Ultor has a bright future as a planetwide monopoly.
Their power is built on the backs of miners who work triple shifts as virtual slaves, lured to Mars by tales of fortune and glory.
A strong, able, and ready security force keeps the miners in check, and a force of mercenaries waits in the wings to crush any significant uprising. A deadly plague is slowly eroding the miner population, as it sweeps through Mars, taking life after life. This existence is harsh and brutal, as your character, Parker, knows firsthand. One group in particular, called the Red Faction led by the mysterious Eos, have been warning all miners to be ready when the time comes to take up arms against Ultor.
Then, one night on a long shift, Parker watches a fellow miner throw off a guard and take his weapon. Although the miner is shot down quickly, that single incident sparks off the revolt that is the backdrop for Red Faction. Red Faction is one of the latest releases from Volition, Inc.
This title is a First Person Shooter FPS , one of the staples of the video game industry, and showcases some of the best graphics that Volition has designed to date. With a somewhat weak, yet adroit, storyline and a new gameplay technology called Geo-Mod, Red Faction is definitely a game worth taking a look at. Controlled with the keyboard and mouse, it uses the WSAD control scheme that has come to dominate this field. Simple controls and a Half-Life style weapon change, contribute to making the game easy to control, and intuitive to play.
The keyboard controls movement, as well as item use, reloading, and weapon changing. Most of the weapons have an alternate fire mode, which can do things like activate a scope, engage the heat seeking feature, or attach a silencer to the weapon. One of the most unique weapons is the Rail Driver, a portable railgun that only holds one shot but can punch through anything. Its alternate fire brings up a terrain penetrating thermo graphic scope, which allows you to snipe an enemy through a wall.
The missions progress in a fairly linear style, moving you from mission to mission, each of increasing importance. Although the game plays very linear, the environment, graphics, and even level design all work to create a world that easily supports the story, adding to the depth of the single player plot. Red Faction comes with a standard repertoire of multiplayer features, with Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, and Capture the Flag.
Entertaining, and certainly important to the replayability of the game, each of these games play easily, and are tweaked for a quick, rapid action gameplay style. Multiplayer brings together all of the best parts of Red Faction without a storyline, including use of the Geo-Mod technology, as some of the multiplayer levels are designed especially with destructible secrets, ones that you can only find with a judicious use of explosives.
The game incorporates a wide variety of graphical effects, from particle effects to realistic liquid haze, along with glass that shatters realistically. Although I enjoyed listening to Red Faction , the audio effects were by far not its strong point. The audio effects were varied enough to give audio based clues, like when to recharge, and whether or not your opponent is using a Precision Rifle or the SMG. Apparently crippled during development, the soundtrack comes on for short periods of time, providing appropriate, if not brief musical accompaniment.
One highlight in all of the aural boredom was the voice acting. Even some of the poorer stories can be rich and compelling if performed well, and Red Faction is performed well.
Once again, as in the PS2 version, the Geo-Mod technology takes center stage. Fun, entertaining, and somewhat educational about the power of explosive weaponry, having the ability to deform terrain is just plain fun. Red Faction , in spite of its flaws, is a well-executed and entertaining First Person Shooter. Browse games Game Portals.

Game review Downloads Screenshots What we said Volition's game is remarkable only for what it attempts rather than what it achieves.
Are you mad? Up until now, I've sometimes been dubious about some of your reviews, but usually after testing them, I end up completely agreeing with you.
This however, takes the biscuit. To its credit, though, the Geomod technology is nothing short of amazing.
I spent a whole hour blasting a hole in the wall. It goes on forever. And the glass is also a masterpiece of programming. Place a bomb next to a glass window and detonate it. Then watch the glass fly everywhere. Right, now that the good stuff is out of the way, let's get to the bad bits, and yes there are lots of them. Firstly the AI is some of the worst I've ever seen. I think I could honestly say it's on a par with Doom.
All the enemies seem to do is duck, run one step away, turn, duck and shoot again. Another thing is that the level design is awful, and as for the beginning, what's going on there? After finishing my shift in the mines, I saw two men shouting, and suddenly a scuffle broke out and everyone was attacking me.
What's going on? The game constitutes little more than walking through corridor after corridor shooting some of the worst enemies in gaming history.
If you want my advice, avoid this game. The only thing going for it is the Geomod technology, which hopefully Mod makers will pick up and use to make a game that Red Faction could have been. Red Faction is a very important game, not only for the games industry, but for our society too. All too often, games ignore the importance of politics and real-world issues.
However, Red Faction is the exception to this rule and I hope that others will follow its example. Comparisons to Total Recall are inevitable, due to the Mars setting and the idea of the repression of the working classes by greedy multinational corporations.
The subsequent revolt by the lead character represents the struggle within society to break free of capitalism. As an FPS, it is almost unparalleled in terms of action, while the Geomod technology is nothing short of breathtaking, and with its political subplot which you grossly neglected in your review , must go down as one of the most groundbreaking and influential games of our time.
