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.

Neue Features? New Features

I've played this game a lot when I was around 16 years old and I've played it again a few years ago. But relating to the game description, the player is able to fly a machine? I don't remember. Or there is a sea in the game? There are only lakes in caves or tunnels fludded with water. But the most interesting information in the decription is "skeletal deformation". When and where was "skeletal deformation" in the game? The are only dying animations. And those aren't even fluid animations. Even back then for in 2001. Maybe the writer of this game description shoudn't write things that are not programmed in the game. Anyways, the geo-mod is nice. But the game is too generic to be the first choice

Very Good surprise

I only played the 2nd on gamecube a few years ago, and was very impressed by the destruction of the game's engine of this one The weapons are varied and fun to use. I'd recommend it.

A classic!

Cant recommend enough, there is a part regarding a sub that explodes when activated, i used console commands (godmode) to just swim through that part.

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!
