Amazon.com Product Description
Set 50 years after the climactic events of the original Red Faction, Red Faction: Guerrilla is a third-person shooter that allows players to take the role of an insurgent fighter with the newly reestablished Red Faction guerilla movement on Mars as they battle for liberation from the oppressive Earth Defense Force. Red Faction: Guerrilla redefines the limits of destruction-based gameplay with a huge open-world, fast-paced guerilla-style combat, 16-player online multiplayer and true physics-based destruction.

View larger. | The Story In the year 2075, the Earth Defense Force (EDF) received a distress signal from a small mining facility on the surface of Mars. A group of rebels calling themselves the Red Faction had overthrown the ruthless Ultor Corporation after years of oppression. The EDF responded by launching a fleet of warships to Mars to aid the miners, bring Ultor to justice and restore order to the Martian colonies. In order to ensure safety and security for the newly liberated colonists, the EDF set up command posts and bases across the planet. Initially, under the EDF's rule, the people of Mars prospered: colonists established homesteads, built towns and independent mining operations and began to stake and work their mining claims. But the more things change on Mars, the more they stay the same. The troubles began with colonists being driven from their homes and mining claims by greedy, Earth-based corporations. Then came a 50 year turn of events that saw the EDF adopting the heavy-handed tactics that it once stood against. Yet in doing so it also instilled a deep-seated resentment among the miners and settlers of the Martian colonies. One of these new Martians is miner Alec Mason, whose dream of a new life carved out of the course Martian soil was crushed in the face of EDF-ordered curfews, detention centers, beatings, mass arrests and personal tragedy. But as powerful as the EDF is, there is resistance. Mason and a small group of revolutionaries have banded together, taken up the Red Faction name and pledged to again bring about a free Mars. And though their enemy has changed, their battle cry remains unchanged: "Better Red than Dead." Key Game Features: - Join the Revolution - When the citizens of Mars can no longer bear the injustice of an oppressive regime, the fate of the planet lies in the hands of Alex Mason and the Red Faction.
- Open World Guerilla Warfare - You decide who, when, where and how to battle. Utilize guerilla tactics, improvised weaponry, and modified vehicles to lead insurgent attacks on EDF targets. Launch attacks based on your own gameplay style, take on missions in any order you choose, or engage in destructive activities to weaken the EDF’s grip on Mars.
- Geo-Mod Technology 2.0 - Use destruction to your tactical advantage, setting ambushes or chain reaction explosions to attack enemy strongholds and permanently modify the game environment. Leverage fully-dynamic physics-based destruction to improvise on the fly: blow holes in a wall or floor to set an ambush or escape, take out a staircase to stop your pursuers, or drive vehicles through blown out walls.
- Evolving & Emergent Gameplay - Carve your path through an ever changing landscape as you improvise your combat tactics – mixing gameplay styles, vehicles, weapons and explosives to defeat the EDF.
- Epic Sci-fi Setting - Explore the huge, unforgiving Martian landscape, from the desolate mining outpost of Parker to the gleaming EDF capital city of Eos; then tear through the fully destructible open-world environments swarming with EDF forces, Red Faction resistance fighters, and the downtrodden settlers caught in the crossfire.
- Multiplayer Combat - There is no place to hide when you put your guerilla warfare skills to the test in a variety of highly destructive 2-16 person online multiplayer combat modes.
- Xbox LIVE Support - Build your Xbox 360 gamer score, achievements collection and leaderboard placement through full Xbox LIVE support.
Guerilla Warfare You don't stand a chance against the EDF using standard military tactics. The only recourse when the few stand against the many is the use of hit and run tactics. Learn the routes of the patrols and quickest ways in and out of EDF strongholds. By studying these things you can instinctively know when to attack, and when to wait for a better opportunity. Ambushes are also useful in thinning EDF ranks. Remote charges and proximity mines are your best friend when preparing an ambush. A few well-placed charges on the structural supports of a bridge can do wonders for stopping a convoy dead in its tracks. Above all else, remember this: guerilla tactics are not about fighting fair, they are about winning. |

3 1/2 August 16, 2010 Mando (Tampa) I'd actually give it a 3 1/2 star rating. Game is fun and definitely worth buying if you buy it used.
A Total Surprise June 21, 2010 J.S. Knapp (Hagerstown, MD) With the sub-par, one-trick ponies that is most of the games of the past two years, I was rather surprised when my rental of Red Faction Guerrilla turned into a purchase.
This game is very similar in concept to Just Cause: 2. You basically run around causing chaos, blowing sh** up, then fighting for your life as you head towards safety.
But somehow this low-budget game seems to have done it so much better. The destructable environments are by far the greatest piece of this game. Bringing down a two-story building with nothing more than a sledgehammer is unbelievably satisfying. Even more, as the building reaches it's critical state, the controller starts to rumble slightly in your hands - you can feel the tremor in the ground as the building prepares to fall. Furthermore, the physics of the game allow for some tremendously entertaining/hilarious/jaw-dropping scenes where exploding vehicles ricochet off of cliff faces, or debris from a falling building spills down a mountainside. I find myself smiling with child-like abandon at the never-ending wave of destruction.
And that's really where Red Faction: Guerrilla shines. It's just unending destruction, chaos, and mile-a-minute excitement. Wrap that up in a game that can easily last 30+ hours, and you've got a recipe for good, simple, long-lasting fun. Sure I'll probably never finish it - I'm sure I'll get tired of it long before I finish the story, but who cares?! It cost $20 bucks. If I get 10 hours of entertainment out of it (I've gotten much more than that already) then I've already had better ROI than many of the "blockbuster games" of the past two years.
For the current price, this game is WELL worth it.
Smashing Good Fun!!! June 4, 2010 Cindy B. (Memphis, TN) I'm always happy to find games that hold my imagination!! I had seen good reviews on this game and as a lover of a FPS, I had to try it. Really like it!! The only downside was the fact that there weren't as many different weapons as I would have liked, but they sure made up for it with a convoy of many vehicles to drive! I LOVED tearing down buildings with the sledgehammer and explosives - and the best part was, they buildings were designed to fall exactly as they would in reality. I'm a 50 year old wife and mother, and I gotta tell ya . . . this game really let me get in touch with my destructive "inner man"!!! Great game . . . hope there's a sequel!!!
Fun May 25, 2010 Deme B. I actually got this game for free when I bought Dark Siders. I did not like the demo for some reason. So, I never considered this as a purchase.
None the less, I recommend this game. It has a definite Crackdown feel to it.
Only the buildings are destroyable. Not the turain. The 1st Red Faction (a first person shooter) allowed you to destroy the land. No big deal, but this is a departure from what Red Faction originally was.
Anyway, I recommend this game.
Fun for the first few hours May 20, 2010 Richard L. Knight This game was fun for about 5 or 6 hours, after that I started to feel like I had seen all it had to offer, except for maybe some different weapons - not enough to motivate me to keep on playing. The same missions over and over just ain't my thing. This is the same reason I quit playing Just Cause. Maybe this is one of those titles that you just pick up and play every once in a while, but I'm the type of gamer who likes to play a game through to it's conclusion before I start another. This open world sandbox style gaming just doesn't do it for me.
