[8.25/10] Armageddon is final game in Series and it is sad because the game was real good.
-- Story -- 80/100 --
Continuing the legacy of the ubiquitous Mason family in Red Faction lore, you play Darius Mason, the grandson of Guerrilla's hero Alec Mason, who's just as comfortable with a big hammer in his hands as his ancestor, although this time it's called a 'Maul' and has spiky bits on it. You might find yourself ditching the Maul fairly early on however, as there's a huge arsenal of great weapons in Red Faction: Armageddon and you can only carry four at a time from a selection of old and new hardware.
-- Visuals -- 85/100 --
Some parts of Red Faction: Armageddon look truly stunning and given that most of the game is set within subterranean caves and tunnels, there's enough variety to keep you from nodding off. That said, some more exterior environments beyond the few in the game would have been welcome. Pretty much decent for this Era. Also the cutscenes look stunning.
-- Audio -- 80/100 --
Lots of lovely explosions, screeching aliens and so forth. Fairly standard stuff that does the job. The score is subtle, non-invasive and frankly rather forgettable. The Voice acting on the other hand is actually really good.
-- Gameplay -- 90/100 --
Red Faction: Armageddon is a riot from start to finish, with plenty to destroy and rebuild, with a nice dose of gameplay variation as and when it's needed. Tearing through structures in an exo or a Mantis walker is immense fun and hugely gratifying to boot. Single-player is a good length, although the latter part drags a little and Infestation has more than enough maps for you and three friends to blast through. There's also infinite replay value in Ruin, which is simple, unadulterated destruction, and upon completing the story, you can jump into a new game + with all of your persistent upgrades earned in the campaign and Infestation modes.
-- Final Verdict -- 8.25/10 --
Red Faction: Armageddon is a great follow-up to Guerrilla, and while it's not quite as large or as ambitious as its predecessor, it's still a fun, riotous and entertaining game that's well worth playing.
