Destruction is so deadly but can also be satisfying at times when your
frustrated in life, Red faction is the type of game that made me wish
the first battlefield bad company was with everything being destroying
even the walls. It also kind of reminded me of mercenaries at times
drive around hostile area, reload up on new gears and weapons and the
group that your friends with is like your safe house area. Red Faction
follows the same path of a open world game with situation that you can
approach from any direction with, you can either drive there crash your
truck or car into the building keep doing it until it falls down or you
can go on foot go out gun blazing manic throw mining mines on the
building just enough for the whole thing to stumble down.
salvage is replacement of money in the game, you collected them while
after destroying a buildings, cars,pipes or even the supply pod
throughout the map. These salvages metal items play an important part
in the game it gives you uncrackable weapons, armor and tons of other
stuff.
Red faction is about Alec mason arriving to mars to see his brother and
work for a living, after little while your brother gets killed by the
EDF( Earth Defensive force), that's where the story starts to move
into a fast past action type rytem. after your brother gets killed you
start to get pulled into the red faction rebellion to over thrown the
EDF strangle hold on the people of mars. The single campaign story isnt
a block buster hit but it does explain why you join the red faction in
the first place, even though you felt nothing after his brother got
whack by the EDF.
The mission throughout the game is contently repeated so it can get
boring at times. Mission usually involves different types of styles
that you can choose weather or not to do them but you will need to do
enough of these mission in order to progress through the story line.
These mission are usually are destroying target, transportation ,raid EDF bases,
Defend areas from EDF, follow the messager and then kill him, freeing
hostages members of the faction from EDF, and destroying a convoy on a
map.
Basically Red Faction campaigns is split into 6 different section that
need to be liberated from the EDF. Each section has a meter that indicted the control and the moral. The control meter is always full
and need to be empty to unlock the main story mission, in order to that
you need to do the side mission which will give you a certain number to
lower it. The moral meters starts off empty and you have to fill it up,
you can do this by destroying advertisement boards or side missions.
Moral works as it gives you support from the faction when stuck in a
gun fight with EDF and it gives you extra ammo in the ammo creates that
are spread throughout the map.
Mulitiplayer i haven't had a chance to get online to try it out so i
cant really give my own opinion on it. But i heard that its very
awesome and addicted so maybe when i have some free time ill give it
try.
Red faction fits all the elements that gamers desired of a destructible environment, with its ''OK'' story line it tend draw
people away from it. But it also makes up for its online play matches.
If you like mercenaries and battlefield bad company you will also like
this game!
