Summary: Red Faction: Guerrilla is a 3rd person, open-world action shooter set on Mars, 50 years after the events of the original Red Faction. Players assume the role of an insurgent fighter with the newly re-established Red Faction movement as they battle for liberation from the oppressive Earth Defense Force. Throughout their fight for freedom, players carve their own path, wreaking havoc across the vast, open-world environment of Mars, from the desolate mining outpost of Parker to the gleaming EDF capital city of Eos. Utilizing improvised weapons, explosives and re-purposed mining equipment and vehicles, Red Faction: Guerrilla allows players to tear through fully destructible environments in an unforgiving Martian landscape swarming with EDF forces, Red Faction resistance fighters, and the downtrodden settlers caught in the cross-fire. Red Faction: Guerrilla also features a robust multiplayer component, including several modes focused on destruction-based gameplay. [THQ]… Expand

If you haven't already picked up this surprise summer hit for console, the PC version offers enough content at an excellent price to make this a purchase you definitely won't regret.

The joy of breaking things apart with giant hammers really is enough to prop up any amount of dull shooting. [Oct 2009, p.58]

Wonderful potential almost realized is my lead-in for this game. I honestly believe the next BIG thing in gaming is destructible environments using physics. This is a great attempt and loads of fun on that front. The nano rifle is by far my favorite weapon, the Mechs are fun, the jetpack is cool, but the vehicle driving has this strange "floaty" feeling. Overall I enjoyed the game and now that it is discounted from MSRP, it is a great value for anyone that has not had the opportunity to play it. I am a bit concerned with the upcoming sequel being underground, but we'll wait and see...… Expand

The destroyable buildings are amazing, but everything else in this game isn't. Boring missions, boring storyline, bad weapons design, mediocre world design. Combat has almost no flavor to it - the weapons are very similar in performance (and especially performance to ammo available), you can't really apply any interesting tactics, and the enemies aren't good for any surprise either. It feels like you usually move around for 2-4 minutes to reach a mission or strategic building, do whatever thing you need to do, then restock weapons, and repeat.… Expand

Interesting physics, decent story, but the controls ruined the game for me. It played like a poor console port, the controls just felt terrible. For an FPS, the controls felt spongy and imprecise, and badly needed some polish. This was the only Red Faction game I've bought, and I don't intend to buy another. Simple aweful.… Expand
