GTA on mars with mass destruction!
From time to time theres a game that comes along that pushes the boundaries of the gaming experience. This is one such game. Without doubt this has got to be the biggest explosion-fest in gaming history. Almost all the manmade objects in the world will crumble and break apart when hit with enough force, be it from your hammer, a rocket launcher or remote explosives!.
The architectural design of the buildings and the weight of the material from which they're constructed determine how things fall apart. Blow out the corner strut of a watchtower and it will put pressure on the other three. Knock out the next strut and it will no doubt collapse under its own weight and fall in that direction and if it lands on something with enough force it could bring that down to, leaving debris sprawled across the ground. It all behaves exactly how you'd expect, including its ability to crush you and enemies.
I can't talk highly enough about the quality of the world destruction in Red Faction: Guerrilla and the fact that Volition has got it all working in a sandbox, unscripted environment with explosions going off everywhere, all this is worthy of a standing ovation for Volition. You do need a decent PC rig though for all this to happen.
My rig is as follows: GTX295,e6700 CPU (Overclocked to 3.33ghz, 2gig RAM.
I forgot to mention the game is free roaming like GTA, in fact this IS GTA on mars with MASS destruction of almost all the manmade objects!. Red Faction: Guerrilla is simply a leap forward in physics for PC games, everything else that comes will be compared to this title simply because Volition got it right!. I recommend this game totally to everyone.
