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.

Better Than Half-Life

I'm going to get a lot of flak for this, but this is like Half-Life, except better... and I didn't like Half-Life. It wants to be Half-Life SOOOOOOO bad, too, having the same weapon select system, only having occasional music (which usually apes Doom), and even recycling one of its plot twists. Still, it's not nearly as janky, and there are several vehicle sections, most of which are actually fun. Problem is what it throws at you: stealth sections, escort missions, and even a "lure the invincible baddie into a trap that may or may not work while it drowns you in a hail of gunfire and rockets", not to mention that you die VERY easily; plenty of enemies can one-shot you, even with full health and armor, especially later in the game, not that the armor does much of anything to begin with. On top of all that, the weapons are so limp that they aren't much fun to use; believe it or not, the pistol remains your best weapon for most of the game, until you find a precision rifle, and the shotgun is almost completely worthless. Yes, it has destructible environments, but it's usually tedious to tunnel your way through anything, and the fun of circumventing a door with a brick of explosives that weighs the same as a small child dies out less than halfway through the adventure.

Really?

Run down a corridor, shoot some guards. Then run down another corridor and shoot some more guards. Then do it again. And again. Repeat until fed up. What a waste!

Submarines on Mars!

I first played this as a multiplayer, and the sights and sounds are still vivid. And little did I suspect how good a first player experience was hiding within. Give it a burl I say.

Great Game until random Bonb disarming.

I hate randomized mini games. Quick time events and memory games. When games do not even use the same 100 possibilites so I could look it up but are actually completly random then a game is for the trash doesnt matter how good a game is. I didnt see the cutscene because I had to mute the game and listen to music while disarming the biggest fart after Fallout 4 xD

Minecraft before minecraft

Ok, that may not be true but the multiplayer of this game is ridiculously fun not for the gunplay but for the fact that you can go Terraria on the stages ass. That and the railgun. Unfortunately last I checked there weren't many multiplayer servers still running this game, but bear in mind I played the steam version and not this. I would recommend this game if you could get a bunch of mates to play it with you. You will burn HOURS just fooling around with geo- mod in multiplayer. Single player isn't up to much unfortunately as the campaign made the silly choice of taking focus away from terrain deformity and instead focused on rather middling gunplay.
