Blow the crap out of buildings with guerrilla tactics and liberate mars in third person sounds like good day. This one takes place 50 years after the first game and well Ultor(bad guys in the first game) is out of the game and the E.D.F take control of the red planet by acting like Nazis we can say in short. The protagonist is a demo worker named Alec Mason who is out with his brother Dan and then an E.D.F ship spots them and kills Dan so Alec has a reason to join the Red Faction. As you fight through a large free-roaming side of mars whether it be an empty wasteland or a large city you will battle E.D.F and Marauders(alien type people who come out at night) The graphics are well made but since it is on mars THQ had to remake a world up there after we terraform the planet to have oxygen and this could happen in the next 50 years maybe. You are a man fighting for freedom so your goal is steal enemy tech, attack supplies, and wreck havoc on the E.D.F. You get to drive any car driving on the red roads of mars like a heavy armored troop transport with a remote MG on the top( you can shoot it while you drive) or a civilian luxury car or maybe a Marauder's land cruiser with a spike gun on the side, yes it is remote operated or you could man it for best aim. The game has a thing called geo-mod which allows you to bring buildings down on top of your enemies. You could go all out guns-a-blaze or you could set your charges on the building, cause a distraction the take them out with one of your many versatile weapons or just the sledge hammer you carry through your liberation quest. If you watched Alien then you'll notice the power loader that can be found in special areas of mars but that's only a close up and small mech so go find the rocket mech or get the bigger power loader about the size of a building. Sound is good like bombs going off, enemies shouting "F-you", or the sound of the many cars to drive. There are about 230 side missions like blowing a building back to Earth in record time or saving hostages well there are others along with many main missions to do. Before you liberate a sector you must have high enough control and morale which can be gained by side missions or taking out key targets. While you are in a firefight Red Faction members will come to your aid but you must have morale. Now it is easy to learn and well you'll never get tired of the game because it's free-roam and has plenty of ores to mine for a trophy and money to buy upgrades or you could do it like me by blowing E.D.F cars up for salvage( the money) The game is overall one of the best along with Brothers in Arms Hell's Highway so try it it's only eight dollars last time I checked. You can play it online but I don't because I love taking my jetpack, sniper, and charges to an elevated position to take out E.D.F and I like seeing the empty clips tumble across my havoc of bodies and dropped structures. GO TRY IT NOW not tomorrow but today so join me in loving the Red Faction games get them all their all good.
