Red Faction

Red Faction is up there with the original Half-Life and easily beats the add-ons made for Half-Life such as Blue Shift. For better or worse, the type of story in the original Red Faction does no longer show up in video games. It is simply about a group of people working in a mine on Mars under slave like conditions until they have enough, i.e. the story is very black and white with a bad guy you have to take out. Red Faction is a solid FPS with vehicles, snipers and destructable walls. The game was ahead of it's time and altough it didn't go completely under the radar when released, it is IMHO still vastly underrated. It is good fun. I encountered one game breaking bug in which I could not interact with a vehicle. The solution could be found on google. Otherwise the game ran flawless without any mods.

I remember following this game for an entire year before it's release. When it did come out I was blown away by how destructive you could be. Even today as old as this game is I'm still impressed with the destructive glee that a missile launcher causes. Does have it's faults but I think that these are out weighed by the games cheesy total recall type story and happy go boom boom game play.

The game is unplayable due to a bug on the submarine level. Where it explodes after you try to release it...

The opening of the game was amazing but this game is a pain and a half to get working on modern hardware. I was thinking I'd be able to just download and play the game but I've reached a certain point where when I try to drop the sub it explodes before reaching the water, I found it's a framerate issue but the game doesn''t let you lock or change that and a community patch can fix it but I couldn't for the life of me get it to work. Can't really proceed in the game any further :(

I used to PLay the demo for this game on WNIdows 98se. Back in the 2000's This game compliemnts Windows 98se because it was a fps and 3d unlike the odd bob games that came with windows 98se such as age of empires 2.
