The Story
In the year 2075, the Earth Defense Force (EDF) received a distress signalfrom a small mining facility on the surface of Mars. A group of rebels callingthemselves the Red Faction had overthrown the ruthless Ultor Corporationafter years of oppression. The EDF responded by launching a fleet of warshipsto Mars to aid the miners, bring Ultor to justice and restore order to theMartian colonies. In order to ensure safety and security for the newly liberatedcolonists, the EDF set up command posts and bases across the planet. Initially,under the EDF's rule, the people of Mars prospered: colonists establishedhomesteads, built towns and independent mining operations and began to stakeand work their mining claims. But the more things change on Mars, the morethey 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."

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 runtactics. Learn the routes of the patrols and quickest ways in and out ofEDF strongholds. By studying these things you can instinctively know whento attack, and when to wait for a better opportunity.

Ambushes are also useful in thinning EDF ranks. Remote charges andproximity mines are your best friend when preparing an ambush. A few well-placedcharges on the structural supports of a bridge can do wonders for stoppinga convoy dead in its tracks. Above all else, remember this: guerilla tactics are not aboutfighting fair, they are about winning.

Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - 3 1/2
I'd actually give it a 3 1/2 star rating. Game is fun and definitely worth buying if you buy it used.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A Total Surprise
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 ... Read More



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Smashing Good Fun!!!
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 ...

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Fun
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.



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Fun for the first few hours
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 ...
