    A short but intense flash of arcade brilliance. [Issue#205, p.94]

    This small warming up for Red Faction: Armageddon is a nice try. You can play with a vehicle and you have to kill all the other players. It's like the traditional modes within multiplayer games, deathmatch, team deathmatch and more and it's vehicle based. Fun and it works nice, but there aren't many maps, the game can be a bit boring and the price is pretty high.

    It's accessible and sort of amusing for a little while, but the instant you realize the single-player element is extremely short and ultimately disappointing, you might regret the purchase.

    An hour-long single-player mission and only a handful of multiplayer modes leaves this game severely lacking in replayability.
