Maybe it's narrowed down to a more linear level progression, story driven kind of game, instead of it's predecessor's successfully huge, GTA like open-world sandbox, but Red Faction: Armageddon is truly one of the most beautiful and mind blowing games that Geo-Mod 2.5 could ever produce, it truly pushed the destructible environment element to it's limits. The plot of the game sticks to the Red Faction franchise origins, even though the addition of alien specimen encounters are core to it's success or failure. The controls are pretty much similar to Guerrilla but with a more enhanced scheme. you'll encouter many Martians through your guns blazin' adventure, but what really makes it enjoyable is how many you'll end up killing in a gameplay through hell and out of it, and with the satisfying set of tools and weaponry, the eye-popping environment destruction and intensity through it all just makes it an addictive master piece you'll regret not experiencing. Overall, it's disappointing to most fans of the series, yet it's an amazing spin off towards the potential better development of the franchise.

Red Faction Armageddon is a step down from Guerrilla,but is still a pretty good,if unoriginal,shooter.
Armageddon is linear,unlike Guerrilla's **** destruction has been refined though.Armageddon's gameplay is solid,with new toys to help you stop the alien invasion.
The game can feel very repetitive at times,with the same objectives and waves and waves of the same enemies.
The graphics are pretty good,but the framerate can drop sometimes.
The sound effects are great,particularly the **** the soundtrack is quite poor.
The game isn't very long **** will last around 7 to 9 hours.
Overall,Red Faction Armageddon is a relatively enjoyable shooter that can scratch your destructive itch.
Just don't expect a long or original game.

Basically if they had the gameplay and made it open world exactly like guerrilla but also adding aliens, it would be an easy nine.
Pro:
Geo Mod 2.
Weapons, especially that magnet gun.
Repair function.
Good story nothing special but an improvement on G.
Good voice acting.
Fun.
Atmospheric.
Cons:
Bad soundtrack.
6 hrs long?
Linear.
It took underground where fewer buildings are, so what's the point of having a destruction built engine?
Boring the second time.

Look, I didn't play this game for long, so I cant comment on the whole experience, but from what I played, wow what a stinker! I picked it up during the drought in early to mid 2011 was seriously unimpressed with the graphics and being ushered down a narrow corridor. There are vastly superior shooters available, there is a reason the franchise has been discontinued. (the game ****)

This game was a far cry from Red Faction: Guerrilla. It was waaaay too linear and just took Red Faction back to the days of a start-to-finish shooter. SNORE.
