User Rating: 8.2 | Red Faction II PS2
By terryprior | Review Date:
Some time has passed since the original uprising that placed players in the role of Parker, a miner turned rebel and figurehead of the corporation-busting Red Faction. Fast forward to the sequel and we see that the series' hook is still there in full force: GeoMod coding for the walls and floors that allows you to deform the landscape with your weapons. Knowing full well that we can dig our way out if we get lost, let's head back into the mines and see what's become of the Faction in the past year
Ironically, the battle has moved home to Earth this time around, and we see the forces of the Red Faction up against the Chancellor of the Earth's Commonwealth, Victor Sopot. Rather than focusing on Ultor, the ruthless mega-corporation from the first game, the sequel focuses on one of their developments, nanotechnology. Stolen from Ultor and ferried to Earth, Sopot uses the technology to forge an army of smarter, stronger, enhanced soldiers, a good 70 percent of whom undergo some sort of personality shift after modification.
