The technology behind this ability is far beyond anything you've seen in a game before; it's one of this generation's most significant technological breakthroughs. None of the chaos is scripted. When a building falls, a cloud of smoke doesn't mask its collapse. A rocket blast to a wall doesn't create the same hole each time.

The destructive magnitude doesn't just deliver chaotic eye candy, it creates an entirely new gaming experience.

As the game goes on, developer Volition finds ways to push the chaos, and make your jaw drop further.

The single-player campaign is lengthy, and continually rewarding. Don't be surprised, however, if you shun this experience for multiplayer. Wrecking Crew mode is the most enjoyable controller-passing game that I've come across since Burnout's Crash mode. The goal of this mode is to tally as much destruction as you can. Your friends then have to try and beat your score. On top of this, Red Faction offers 125 ranks worth of depth in its competitive multiplayer. Deathmatching in destructive playgrounds is a powerful proposition that changes the tactics of war. Why bother with a headshot when you can drop a bridge that kills five? Being able to change styIes mid-match through backpack pick-ups is also a cool idea that works well with the team-based modes.

No matter what mode you enter, Red Faction: Guerrilla delivers on its promise of destruction, and offers an experience unlike anything else out there. - Game Informer

ooops lol :D And it's the fact that now I only have to spend $60 on this game, instead of getting infamous and a PS3 for 500 bucks so I won't get bored this summer. And maybe Prototype...and Fable 2... and Fallout 3... and Star Ocean IV... lol

Really? If there wasnt an alternative to a good game to buy this summer you would have shelled out 460 bucks just for InFamous and a PS3?

I doubt it.

Oh noes! Not the lack of ability to switch from first to third person! Now this game suddenly fails and isn't worthy of any praise whatsoever!

1st person in this game was epic fail (not according to me, that's what Volition said. It didn't feel as destructive with the limited point of view)

Nice. The only complaint I had was the AI. It looks soooo bad from the demo. Understandable since most of the calculation is for the environment.

True. I'm excited with how big the world is in RFG and how cool all of the specific sectors are. But the destructability just puts it all together, this is going to be Saints Row 2 on 'roids.

I think the multiplayer could be really big and insanely fun. Hopefully they have some cool game modes.

Why would you need two options? If the game was designed to be a third person shooter, why do you need to incorporate first person elements?

So? I'm not sure why you believe that every game needs "options" when it comes to camera perspectives. Unless the game got deducted points because of this "flaw", then there's no reason why a first person perspective is needed to begin with. It plays fine as a third person shooter, it doesn't need anything more.

nah mate, your brain is a unpolished turd, the game does not need a first person view because the third person view works better you know why ?? Because the devs said so you know why there opinion is more valid then yours? Because they being paid to make a great game and your just some gimp who thinks he needs to spout his useless opinions on the net You fail badly at everything you do

having both options is better than being forced to use one view.

Eh, Game Informer are one of those reviewers I don't trust. They are pretty chaotic when it comes to review scores. It is hard to nail down their standards. I'll wait for gametrailers on this one.

Im sorry maybe i grew up when games were actually good the kids now they dont remember nothing but crappy games so have crappy expectations. and im sorry if ur a dev and cant even include simple options like disabling aim assist then ur game is unpolished and should of never shipped and u suck and need to be fired.
