Red Faction
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.

- Compelling storyline (written by the creators of the famous FreeSpace series) that will keep you hooked for many hours.

One of the best FPS games I ever played
This game NEEDS more people to know about it: it's genuinely an amazing game that reminds me a lot of Half-Life I think this game is near Half-Life in terms of fun, and even does better than it in a few aspects (though few). You're a basically a miner leading a revolution against a corrupt corporation that has been exploiting and abusing it's workers for some time and it's epic - only gripe I have with the gunplay is that some guns don't feel great (mainly the pistol for me), but the game more than makes up for it by having the other guns be satisfying and powerful while still not making every encounter easy. Now for the problems: the game shows it's age by having a few major glitches, like in one part you have to lower a submarine but it always blows up because modern PCs are too fast for this game. There are other flaws such as some enemies being a bit spongey, but it's not too major especially if you aim for the head. Overall, definitely get this game if you enjoyed Half-Life or FPS games in general. It's definitely worth the price and you can also restore multiplayer using a mod. You might need to look up a few ways to get past the glitches, but it isn't too horrendous.

Interesting, bad, great music,historical
I am extremely conflicted over this game. It was released in May 2001 and with the exception of the engine and terrain destruction, this game has NOTHING going on that was not done leagues better by its competitors. It feels like a half life wanna be that doesn't know a thing that made half life good. Your red faction allies will die in one shot. Most are scripted to die so hard that if the door doesn't open from where they were meant to be shot at, they will just collapse. The terrain destruction is only fully implemente into the gameplay right at the start. Then it appears from time to time, reminding you of it. The submarine and fighter controls are AMAZING, which is expected when you remember that this was made by the creators of Descent. Then halfway through the game you find the one shot kill enemies and remember that, indeed, this was made by the same people who made Descent. The scripting is bad, the constant spawning of the enemies behind you is extremely annoying, sometimes the game WILL NOT give you a health pack. The pacing of the story?? Insane. For the price it is going at, I think it is a good deal, but don't go in expecting anything groundbreaking, pun intented. the glass destruction was honestly quite nice. Finally I must say that this game has an AMAZING soundtrack, some are alright, others are magnificent. And yet the game will play them at the weirdest moments or not let it have the time to fully get going. Sometimes I would cross a door and the music would suddenly stop, leading to a deep dissapointment.
