Description
In Red Faction, you play Parker, a weary miner who works for the corrupt Ultor Corporation. You reside on Mars, sometime in the future, and when a plague spreads through the mining community, some of the Ultor employees uncover a massive conspiracy. Thus ensues a battle by a group of lowly workers, headed up by the educated Parker, to expose the deadly experiments Ultor has unleashed onto its work force.

Red Faction was a very big leap forward in the FPS genre. It introduced many new technical features such as location-based damage system, real-time skeletal deformation, advanced physics simulation, destructible environment and more. The unprecedented (at the time) interaction with the environment creates a very strong feeling of immersion that is very impressive even by today's standards.
  • Unique set of features such as location-based damage system, real-time skeletal deformation, advanced physics simulation, and destructible environment.
  • An ability to use land, sea, and air vehicles during your missions.
  • Compelling storyline (written by the creators of the famous FreeSpace series) that will keep you hooked for many hours.

Interesting but bugged

A very interesting and nostalgic game, very similar to Valve's Half-Life. The game, however, is riddled with bugs that make several levels unbeatable, and unless you save MANUALLY very frequently, you are going to hit a wall, cry and quit. Worth the 2€ on sale, though!
