Red Faction was one of the better shooters released for the Playstation 2. I remember playing multiplayer matches with my friends where we grabbed rocket launchers and tried to see just have deep we could drill into the destructible environment. Its been a while, but Red Faction is back! Releasing on the XBox 360 as well as the Playstation 3 and PC , it has a more destructible and unique experience then ever.
There are some significant changes that fans of the series should note. The biggest is that it is no longer a first person shooter. Instead, Guerrilla is a third person action game. This is because Guerrilla is now a fully destructible open-world game and the new view will better let you take in all of the carnage. What is the easiest way to take out a building full of soldiers? Just take out the building!
Guerrilla will also have a ramped up multiplayer game. There is nothing like bursting through a wall to startle and gun down your enemy. But the destruction isn’t just for show. In one mode the goal it to capture and hold a building while preventing the opposing force from destroying it. Another has you trying to take down as many buildings as possible within the time limit.
Red Faction: Guerrilla is easily the most explosive release this week. Those who are into more… peaceful… games, The Sims 3 is being released on the PC as well. I already get up, go to work, come home and do chores as it is… I don’t really need to play a game to simulate this.
