Hey. Ive read quite a few good reviews on Red Faction 2 and waz considering geting it but ther seems to be absolutely no hype wat-so-ever for this game. From wat i understand the demo waz poor so i asume ppl havnt bothered checking it out. My question is directed @ ppl who have actuali played/own the full game. Is it good? Worthy of purchase?

Thanks

best in game physics ever. the games really is all about blowing and tearing things down. as a game its pretty solid it doesn't do anything new but the shooting and driving mechanics work well and the weapons you get at the start are real nice (if you ever wanted to be a demolition man this is your game) and later on you get a really cool weapon (i wont spoil it but it is really cool). the missions do get repetitive and anything that doesn't require you to blow something up really isn't all that fun but its a solid game and really good for a summer release.

I would never ever play it. The first one was so good though. The Uncharted 2 beta is doing it for me right now. So no, i don't have it.

it rocks the casbah, its such a FUN game. dont concern yourself with the story or the characters, just enjoy playing it for what it is - awesome funage! (and yes, i think i made that word up:D)

the destruction and physics engine alone make this game feel like a proper "next-gen" title. dont miss out!

Try it out. I did enjoy the demo, but after buying the full game was dissapointed. The online is pretty weak, and the single player is very repetitious in the fact that you will die many times trying some missions due to two things:

1. The controls do not suit the amounts of enemy edf soldiers that seem to come from the woodwork like roaches.

2. The amount of enemies that attack on some missions is plain ridiculous. It seems that Volition could not be bothered with enemy AI, so instead they covered up the fact the enemies are dumb, by making literally dozens of soldiers attack you from every direction. In the end, you just end up getting in car after car to run over enemies and crash through stuff till your car catches fire, then jump out before it explodes and steal another vehicle and repeat until either you die, or mission is completed.

I am seriously considering taking the game back and swapping it for inFAMOUS. I will however give it some more chances, as I am getting through the game OK, but these aforementioned problems are heavily annoying, and many missions also start you from back at your base so you have to traverse back to where you were, and start again, while other missions ask if you wish to try again. Very strange.

Solid game, but try it extensively 1st. Red Faction 1 was the **** They should have stuck to 1st person for RF and Saints Row could be there 3rd person sandbox game.

I got it on release date and haven't gamed anything else since then which is special for me. The SP is all about fun, who cares about AI in a game like this? o_O If you want strong enemies, go online and fight against human enemies, no AI will ever be as good as a human can be ;)

I understand what your saying, but why would I buy a game for $60 that does not provide a great overall game. The physics engine is definitely a reason to play this game, but to buy it at full price if the AI sucks and the online multiplayer is bland doesnt make sense to me. I'll wait for a price drop or i will rent it.

I bought it and all I can say is meh!

There's no flow to it, its too repetative and for the love of god I thought long load times had gone out with the last gen

Maybe I'm getting too critical in my old age
