This is morePlayed this game twice through story mode, and once with the pc add-on marauders campaign, and it is an excellent piece of work! This is more like "GTA with WAY MORE cool stuff to do". Though it can get a little difficult to continually push back their attacks, should you set off too many alarms. Really nice FOV blurring, totally immerses you in your firefights from small to large scale. If you go exploring at night, expect to be ambushed by marauders! But they have their own unique weapons, so it's worth it. They also control a large piece of desert to the southeast on the map, which is worth exploring in detail once the story provides time. Bottom line, this game is easy on your gpu, is very well polished and optimized AND comes with an extra marauder campaign for when you finish the primary! Steam has had it on sale 3 times, I paid 10 bucks for it and was well worth the 40+ hours spent on it. Now it's on sale for 5, I hope many more people realize this game's greatness.… Expand

I think people don't give it the credit it deserves. By just walking around and exploring all of the different places and buildings you can tell the developers put a lot of thought into this game. To truly enjoy this game though, you really need to explore all the little things scattered around Mars. One thing that made me laugh is in the Badlands sector where there is a Mars Rover hidden by some rocks by the side of the road (it marks it as a vehicle on your minimap). All in all, I think this is a GREAT game. With all the different things you can do (going off huge jumps in cars, running EDF people over, destroying stuff for fun, bailing out of cars while in the air, freeing hostages, and much more) and how much fun it is to do them, I believe this game is an amazing game and that people should look past it's minor problems and really enjoy the game.… Expand

But I tried it and played through the start and was immediately hooked and had to buy it even though I wanted to play other games first.
   
   I love games where you get to destroy your surroundings I always find them so much fun.
   And there are so very few games like that. The only other game I played that was sort of like that was Just Cause 2.
   
   I enjoy this game a lot. Blow up entire buildings, destroy everything around you with explosives, sledgehammer and even your vehicle, what more could you want?
   
   It also has decent combat, and side missions that test your skills such as beating the time for demolitions master which you have various scenarios such as find the buildings weak spot, destroy it with 1 explosive and beat the pro time of 15 seconds, or destroy this building as quick as possible just using your sledgehammer as well as various others.
   
   There's also transporter challenge of getting a vehicle somewhere as quick as possible. But I find those boring. I dislike vehicle controls so found it rather frustrating doing transporter missions.
   And some others as such as raids, rescue etc.
   
   The story and characters aren't much, but I don't mind as destroying everything is what the focus of the game is and I can't get enough of that. Once I start destroying I get so immersed and can't stop.
   
   I really like the futuristic look to some vehicles and buildings. The music is very good. Though the landscape looks rather bland and barren being mountainous and dusty, but I guess that's what you get with Mars.
   Did not have any problems or bugs with this game and like that the world feels very open and not boxed in
   
   It's great that when morale is high guerilla's join you and help attack the enemy and they can be helpful when trying to destroy things they can draw the enemies focus so I can destroy things easier, but they also can be a hindrance and get in the way of explosions and hammer swings.
   
   This is a great game for those who love destruction and I did not start to feel bored until after the 46 hour mark which is good.
   
   What I disliked most was that you get such a small amount of ammo, even with full upgrade.
   
   Awesome fun and a must play. Doesn't quite get an 8 as there is not much variety in what you do.… Expand

It gives you a free roaming world, most of which you can level. It scatters most generic activities around, and basically gives you the keys to do whatever you want. Unlike the original red faction, this game takes away the ability to destroy the actual ground, and lets you destroy anything on top of it - I would have preferred both. The side content is mostly just 'go here and destroy this' 'destroy this is 30 seconds' 'bring there people over here' 'kill these guys'. It all get's repetitive really fast. That's why this game is best enjoyed in small spurts, a few generic quests and a dull storyline mission are perfectly fine if you just use them as an excuse to collect some parts for upgrades and level as much as you can. If you want a story focused game with quality side content. Look elsewhere.… Expand

I have playedThe best Red Faction because the freedom in the gam eplay. A good atmosphere. But the difficult level is only for mad Japanese. I have played the game hundred of hours, because the half of the gameworld it open at the start, i have never see the rest of the world. The game has only 1 difficult level for the story line missions: Hyper-Nightmare-Suicidal. As a sample: to open the first new region you will over life a destruction derby race, all your "friends" do nothing else as kill you, not enoth you drive under artillery fire as well. I have tried it 30 times, then i give up. Whithout this heavy bug, the game get a 9/10, but so... sorry.… Expand

   Instead of having a Red Faction Game, they gave you a bad GTA-clone on easy-mode with 3rd Person (where you can peek behind walls and cover),Instead of having a Red Faction Game, they gave you a bad GTA-clone on easy-mode with 3rd Person (where you can peek behind walls and cover), undestructible terrain and boooring, boooooring downtime inbetween all the carnage.
   
   Drive to mission -> hope the mission is fun -> destroy buildings -> trigger alarm ->get swarmed by infinite amounts of enemies, with infinite amounts of reinforcements -> Flee to your base -> resupply, and drive, drive, drive again...
   
   So you never really have the time to enjoy the carnage, because your impressive (albeit flawed) destruction gets interrupted by hordes of enemies, who will require all your limited ammo-supplies to deal with them.
   
   Upgrading your arsenal takes a painfully long time and you are basically required to play on casual-difficulty, since the upgrades don't cost that much. It's still excrutiatingly slow.
   
   Destruction is enjoyable and "physically correct", but there is so much dead, empty and boring blank areas inbetween, seperated by unclimbable mountains and rocks, that you'll fall asleep when driving to your next objective again.
   The impressive "geomod"-engine took three steps backwards and now doesn't allow you to destroy terrain.
   Yeah, thats right:
   You can't destroy the terrain! In a Red Faction-Game!… Expand
