Hendrix R.I.P
Throughout the game you are assisted by a computer technician named Hendrix and the leader of the RF Eos. Ok enough of the story onto the game. The gameplay in RF is awesome, you can blow up everything in the game and I mean everything. Walls, floors, vehicles etc all thanks to the Geo-mod engine. You get the usual assortment of weapons in this game from jacked up machine guns, to a shotgun a sniper rifle. You also get remote explosives, a flamethrower and even a rocket launcher. It was particularly fun to throw the remote explosive onto an enemy and watch them run around screaming bloody murder until you turned them into a stain on the wall. The enemy AI is goofy but is quick to get the jump on parker if you get surrounded. The weapons are however very accurate and ammo is plentiful, so they can be disposed of quickly.
The best part of Red Faction, besides the great storyline was the multiplayer. The matches got intense, bullets flying everywhere and setting your enemies on fire etc. You could play 2 players against 4 bots or split up onto two single player teams with bots on each. This game also makes you actually feel bad for the enemy when they are being killed, their shrieks of pain piercing the air. It sounds especially bad when they are on fire, they'll run around crying in pain until you kill them. Being able to destroy everything makes strategy a fun option. A friend and I used rocket launchers on a level called warlord to create a warren of cave systems and pretened to be the Taliban as we fought each other, ah, good times indeed.
Anyway Red Faction is a great game. Good graphics, story and gameplay make it a worthy buy, so go and buy it.
