Viewlarger. | 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." 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.

- 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 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. |

- Gets Boring Fast...
This is a really late review.This game came out in 2009, and to be honest I forgot I had bought it. The reason for this is the game is utterly forgetable.
Nothing new here.This is a 3rd person sandbox shooter that takes place on mars.The major problems I have with the game is how boring it is.I played it heavy for about a week when I got it.Then, I just quit playing it and it's been sitting on a shelf collecting dust unbeaten and unplayed for five or six months.
It's not ...

- Not bad
Not expensive, and alright fun. It can get annoying when you get stuck at parts, and the gameplay is not that deep, but its enjoyable. It's fun to smash up buildings, but this aspect of the game in reality is not that important to the game.

- Pretty good - little replay value.
This game is very cathartic.That means therapeutic to you kids out there.If you feel like smashing something - whacking a wall with an axe or sledgehammer, this game is perfect.Part of your objective includes destroying your environment - and unlike most games that say they have "destructible environments", this one really delivers.
You're on Mars, you're fighting the evil government, you have a sledgehammer.GO.The weapons are cool, the game progress is good, the missions are OK - ...
