This game is strictly average (but, not bad). It is a straight shooter with no plot except to explain the setting. You are supposedly stuck on Mars or something, and have to kill a whole bunch of people. There never seems to be a peaceful resolution to problems in these video games...lol. You spend most of your time in Red Faction running around and shooting people. There is a little tactical and puzzle solving elements thrown into the mix, but it seems forced and out of place. Levels where stealth is utilized is poorly done and not fun at all to play. The game haphazardly combines these puzzles and gameplay (with a MUCH stronger emphasize on the gameplay). After shooting your way through the final level, you must solve a memory puzzle to win the game. The game then ends. No big boss battle or anything interesting. I found this aspect of the game very weird. Since the game is a bargain bin game now, I would recommend playing it if you have nothing better to do. Then again, do not expect a rewarding experience from the game. Nothing really memorable at all about it.
