Description

Set 50 years after the climactic events of the original Red Faction, Red Faction: Guerrilla allows players to take the role of an insurgent fighter with the newly re-established Red Faction movement as they battle for liberation from the oppressive Earth Defense Force. Red Faction: Guerrilla re-defines the limits of destruction-based game-play with a huge open-world, fast-paced guerrilla-style combat, and true physics-based destruction.

Open World Guerrilla Warfare – You decide who, when, where and how to battle. Utilize guerrilla 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.

Strategic Destruction – 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 cross-fire.

Multiplayer Combat – There is no place to hide when you put your guerrilla warfare skills to the test in a variety of highly destructive multiplayer combat modes.

Reviews on Red Faction: Guerrilla [Xbox 360]

Rowdy on Red Faction: Guerrilla [Xbox 360], 11-06-2009

"Alec Mason travels to Mars to work in the mines and to build up a simple life there. Things quickly take a turn for the worse when his brother gets killed by the militairy regime, the Earth Defense Force. Alec moarns, joins the resistance and starts destroying everything that has a EDF sign on it. That's the storyline in a nutshell.

Volition spent a few years developing the graphicle engine and if you ask me it paid off very well. You can just about blow up or run over everything in this game, and lucky for me Mars is extremely well populated.

As said, the story isn't that extremely well-written. The game actually feels like a collection of missions designed for you to completely blow the living crap out of everything. Destroying government buildings helps you and the Red Faction to take over several sectors on Mars, making it able to stage a coup and take control over those areas.

As nearly all of the missions involve blowing up things things can get a bit repetive at times, but besides this - and the somewhat dull landscape of Mars - I'm enjoying this game very much. The game engine is impressive, visuals are a treat and there are several fun multiplayer modes. Money well spent!"
