Hi everyone. Been awhile since my last post so here we go.
I don't know if anyone remembers but a couple of months ago the developers had an Online Multiplayer Beta for the Xbox 360 which is where I got my first hands on time with the game. As for as the MP goes it was solid even in the state it was in. I remember having tons and tons of fun just hammering people into the ground. Anyway this new demo finally shows off what the actual single player campaign would run like.
First thing off the bat is the graphics and the comparison between Xbox 360 and PS3. There is only a SLIGHT DIFFERENCE between the 2 games. While one boasting sharper shadows while the other has better dark areas. I won't go into much detail because it really silly trying to find something different about the two when it only serves fan boys.
The way you game is structured similar in the way GTA series missons are structured. You do a certian amount of missions till that sector been liberated from the EDF. For those that don't know the EDF is the Earth Defence Force who in the first Red Faction game were the good guys thet help liberate the planet of Mars from an evil organization that was treating miners like dirt. Fast forward 50 years and you have Red Faction 3. Where the planet Mars has been teraformed to the point where people can walk and leave on the planet surface. Of course much like the first game the EDF is now keeping the people on the planet on a super tight leash.
The controls for this game is similar to many 3rd Person Shooters but its the weapons that really sets this game apart. You start off with just a simple Miners Hammer. Which is perfect for nailing things into the ground , destorying a column in front of your, or simplay bash a guys body straight into the ground. There are many different weapons like your standard Assault Rifle and Sniper Rifles but alot of the other weaponry was had made by the resistance group.
The actual demo lasts about 10 to 20mins depending on if you go rushing in there or actually take your time. Either way I came away with one feeling after the playing both the MP Online Beta and the single player demo. FUN. Its just plain fun. Now we have to see if the whole game holds up well when its released in 2 months.
