"A few physics-based weapons and destructible environments can't elevate this strictly average third-person shooter."

Overall Solid, But Gets Boring

I have to say that I was a huge fan of the last Red Faction game. While it wasn't perfect in any sense, it was a solid open world romp that let you play with the well known Volition destruction tech.… Read more

Armageddon turns out better than expected.

I have to admit, I don't have a single gripe with this game. I was initially turned off by the lukewarm critical response, but seeing it in Best Buy for $15, I had to finally give it a try. That price… Read more

An Average Shooter with Wasted Potential

2009’s Red Faction: Guerrilla was an open-world action-adventure title, praised by critics and fans alike for its insanely fun destruction mechanics. Guerrilla was made exciting by the opportunities i… Read more

Better Red than dead

I loved the original Red Faction on the PS2. Geomod was mind blowing at time. You could spend hours just tunneling through the map. Modern day Red Faction is a bit different. It still uses Geomod tech… Read more

Red Faction: Armageddon Review

Red Faction: Armageddon picks the story up where the last game, Red Faction: Guerrilla and the made for TV movie Red Faction: Origins left off. You'll be playing the part of an outsider that can help… Read more

Red Faction Armageddon Review: Destruction is out the window

Armageddon clearly aims to make good on the shortcomings of the 2009 Red Faction Guerilla by focusing more on story events and a more focused single player campaign. However, while a good sequel will… Read more

So Successful, It Killed a Franchise

Red Faction, as a franchise, is a bit baffling. The first game, a tunnel-building simulator from 2001, didn't exactly set the world on fire upon it's release. After one disappointing sequel in 2002, t… Read more

Great if it was $30

Lets get this out of the way now, it's not an open world sandbox like Guerrilla . The game gives you a piss poor reason why it's not at the start of the game. You play as Darius Mason , grandson of Al… Read more

Worth playing, but not blown away

Just doing my typical quick bullet point review: The enemies in the game suck out some of the fun as you're constantly trying to track them as they jump between various parts of the cave ceilings. The… Read more

Another Decent Title from Volition

I've been a fan of the Red Faction series from the get-go. I loved Red Faction I and Red Faction II...OK, it didn't crash a lot nor kill my PS2. Red Faction Guerilla was one of the sleeper hits of 200… Read more

A disappointing sequel

Red Faction: Armageddon is a game that doesn’t utilize the best qualities of its predecessor, Red Faction: Guerilla. In Red Faction you step into the shoes of Darius Mason, the newest addition to the… Read more

When destruction somehow manages to be boring

If one shouldn't grocery shop while they're hungry, should one write a review immediately after finishing it? Then after awhile, once the entirety of the game has settled into your brain and you get t… Read more

Old-School Alien Shoot-'em-up With a Good PC Port

Ignore the Red Faction title of this game as it has very little to do with the average FPS from a decade ago or the open-world destruct-a-thon from a couple years ago. Red Faction: Armageddon is a str… Read more

Going through Armageddon

Before I start talking about Red Faction Armageddon, it is important to note that I have not finished the previous Red Faction, I have completed the PS2 games but never got to finish Guerilla. I have… Read more
