Part 1 of 2. Classic Game Room reviews RED FACTION for the Playstation 2 PS2 video game console. This is the first and best review of Red Faction to feature a parody of the upcoming RedFaction game on the PS3 and Xbox 360 called Going Green Faction. The parody is funny because I felt like getting that keyword in here, funny that is. Ha ha. Red Faction is one of the best first person shooters on the PS2 and is regarded as one of the best of the shooter genre. FPS FTW as you kids say. You play as parker and slaughter Ultor without mercy, the evil big corporation keeping the miners on Mars down. Red Faction plays a lot like Total Recall in that it takes place on Mars, features oppressed miners and has lots of shooting and explosions. Rumor has it that there is a new Red Faction being released sometime in 2008 or 2009 by Volition and THQ called Red Faction 3 Guerrilla or something along those lines. Will it be on PS3, Xbox 360 and Atari 7800? Will it have multiplayer, footage scenes and animations, gamer points, 3d environments, geo mod technology, next gen things like the word next gen and HD visuals girls in bikinis? Whatever, I just want the RAIL GUN back and the ability to go through Ultor and raise hell. We'll have to wait and see what they do with it and if it's better than the amazing original, RED FACTION. called Classic Game Room was the original classic video game review show on the Internet in 1999-2000, now on DVD. The reviews on the HD series are reviewing PS3, PS2, Genesis, NES, Atari and Xbox 360. XBLA. videos review reviews show wii trailer

[@JimvsBob]

I think I finished this game about 15 times. SUCH a good shooter

[@jameswhyte1340]

For me, one of the coolest aspects of the game was the way you could alter the terrain with rocket launchers. I remember me and my friend doing multiplayer and just had hours of fun shooting rockets for ridiculously long depths. I've never any game like this since....this was a really unique game.

[@MMartinVideo]

Seconded. We used to have hours of fun building little areas and tunnel systems with a bunch of bots on.

[@agrojester1156]

Yeah one of the best games ever for its uniqueness.

[@scottcollins5240]

I thought this was Classic Game Room actually coming back for a second. Bring it back Mark.

[@ConyCees]

Well, you're in luck.

[@watisituya1]

Making caves in Multiplayer with rockets and camping inside with the rail gun

[@crapgamer1232]

I remember that so well hahaha

[@Highlydistorted]

I know

[@AgentCell]

This review is hilarious I can't stop laughing and watching it.

[@ianwood4009]

this guy is great, my new fav channel

[@gamerguy425]

you got on the train too late, the show was pretty much in decline by that point, let alone now ;_____; 2008-2013 was like the absolute golden age of CGR though.

[@FabledFrame]

Ah, my favourite shooter, how i've missed it. Years ahead of anything else.

[@AgentCell]

They seriously need to make a reboot but in FPS. Keep the geo destructible environment from Red Faction Armageddon or Guerrilla but make it a FPS game with story campaign, co-op and MP. That game will sell like gold!

[@thisjustin6529]

I’m playing this for the first time in 2020. I’m still having fun with it even though I’m 19 years late.

[@KM-lc6hj]

I'm about to get this game right now. It's better to be late than never right?

[@sejenunu]

Red Faction ! one of the most epic Fps game of all time ! and still is !

[@Legiondude]

"I don't see any blood" *bam* "AAAGH!!"

[@chrisf8855]

I don't think I'll ever enjoy playing a video game more than I did playing Red Faction. Definitely my favorite game of all time.

[@rigiredemption15]

If they remake this game with ps4 graphics or just really bad ass graphic, I will rebuy it. I'm dying for it hahaha. Red Faction is a beautiful game, it is just the graphics that don't let you see that. I for real want a remake of this masterpiece.

[@dominicsartini3868]

Red faction guerrilla

[@soundbite914]

They should make a remastered edition of red faction!

[@legomass1000]

hell yeah that or make a ps4 game with the same plot and atmosphere but different levels and characters.

[@ManoSaarinenCarmanen81]

Hell yeah, that's an excellent idea! Would buy it instantly! Red Faction 1 is one of my favourite FPS games of all time! RF2 wasn't nearly as good.

[@medo988881]

Jonah Hinsverk I hate to blow your bathtub bubble buddy, but both the original developer and publisher(Volition and THQ respectively) got bankrupt years ago.

[@ManoSaarinenCarmanen81]

medo988881 Yeah, i know that but still it would be great :) I wonder who owns the rights to the series now?

[@metalmugen]

Jonah Hinsverk There's an HD Version of 1 and 2 for PS4 now

[@Barin69]

I remember all this stuff from the game. Definitely one of my favorites.

[@sriX23]

I watch this review just for fun every now and then. I don't know why, I just like it. Mark is a reviewer like none other.

[@Jaarnofolkki]

A great shooter, and also incredibly hilarious!

[@spiderjerusalem100]

1:30 Christian Bale?

[@KillThad]

+Serpico's Beard No, but it does sound like him, doesn't it?

[@lastcall8688]

+KillThad He meant it looks like him lol

[@IIC3]

You're awesome for reviewing underrated games. Can't wait for part 2 :O

[@1234isthisavaliable]

the intro of every video is so awesome

[@VintageAudioTech]

I played this game into the ground. Was a good halo alternative. 2nd game had a good multilayer but lame campaign mode. There on out it got worse and worse. Lol stick to the first one 👍

[@tonkip]

This guy is seriously trigger happy..Haha..:)

[@maximilianosterle9842]

OH Man! That INTRO! You just know it's gonna be GOOD!

[@thevoidcorrupted7848]

Just got my core2duo pc running again and downloaded this gem . Now playing it again for the first time since 2002. Quarantine makes you do things.

[@TheAdam159]

One of my favourite FPSs, the original Red Faction. Such a great time was had with this game back in the day.

[@ianwood4009]

"one of my personal favorite parts of the game was being able to take the explosive packs and stick them on people" XD

[@demetreio]

I remember playing this when I was a kid!! thanks for a great review and memories!! :))

[@lordtalo2062]

I can't believe this video is 15 years old

[@ThePorkchopExpress975]

9 years later im playing this on PS4. It's awesome. I was playing on Ps3 but didn't Know about blowing holes in walls where the yellow markings were painted. that makes it so much more fun.

[@liveFOLK]

One of my favorite games ever, great memories of this game.

[@bizzle187]

multiplayer on this game was absolutely amazing. i used to build tunnel systems by shooting through rock and hiding in them.

[@firemonkey4379]

[@ArcangelZero7]

9:26 that junk-bot was the biggest headache EVER in this game! This game always will hold a special place in my heart though :D

[@akumacornflakes]

[@AvlidaPower]

[@ryanrr254]

[@Skriak]

All I can think of when I see Red Faction is Total Recall too! Crazy good stuff.

[@presidentsnow7315]

Thank you for the best intro. in game review history!

[@DookieCakes]

I love this game. One of the best PS2 FPSers for sure, and one of my favorite FPS in general.

[@rockrboy83]

Watching classic KZbin videos about classic games at the time got me like....

[@hillmnbvexs]

10:13 is the most epic face ever. I SHALL REPLACE TROLL FACE WITH THIS

[@zmuljo]

great review

[@Lilbeanspork]

my favorite game of all time, and my first FPS, and first rated M game even though i was so young. oh ps2, how i miss you.

[@CEEPMDEE]

I was so pissed that they did not keep Parker in the Red Faction series. they should have stuck with the original formula. This game was fun and hilarious.

[@varnlestoff]

Haha I did that too, making your own cave was so fun. It had a bit of strategic value too.

[@NaruHina8]

This was my my favorite game for like 4 years running my first ever fps

[@Martin90no]

01:07 "I dont see any blood." PEW "DOOOH" XD

[@TheAdam159]

@Cecilink60 : This! I love all those PS2 shooters you mention.

[@XI0Corporations]

I loved this game back when it was released in 2001 for the PS2...Volition Entertainment forever...

[@scottamata]

That was, THE BEST! intro!

[@DannieJensen]

Excellent game choice, I had forgotten about this gem

[@DJTwenty2020]

Great game and review! this and all the other red factions in a great SALE pack on steam RIGHT NOW!

[@onceuponatimeonearth]

Yeah I did the same. The multiplayer and single player bot skirmishes were both excellent aswell and gave it a tremendous replay value. One of my favourite games of all time, while it pretty much went under the radar. :(

[@governator83]

@ 8:39 "You wouldn't hurt a woman, would you?" Hilarious!

[@MARCOPETER82]

Ha Ha "You wouldn Hurt a Woman, would ya?" Klick, klick, klick, klick XD

[@DanWelshy86]

This was such a good game, many fond memories

[@GSXRNissan]

this game is so good geomod railgun and the alternative firemode for every weapon.

[@mkratos17]

This game was an amazing game when it came out for the pc playing on a 56k modems was.....

[@BKX8]

Best game reviews ever! And why cant they make more FPS like this Damn It!

[@FirstSpearDefense]

Honestly, I think this was one of the best PS2 games I ever played.. especially the split screen multi-playing lmao.

[@CharlyGoMez27]

I knew mark was going to review this game! he even has it on his memory card!

[@neonfatum]

I love how he just headshots everyone. So cruel and hilarious

[@Sh3nkie]

Would you like a lollypop? *pop* D'oh! Haha, nice review. This used to be my favorite game for a long time. Had alot of fun with the singleplayer and then I found myself multiplaying for lots of hours :-). Oh all the hours i spent making levels etc... good old days :p. I just ordered RF-Guerrilla. Hope its cool!

[@seak01]

Probably my favorite fps of all time. The story line was what made this game.

[@masterDJ32]

I love how they would say "Don't shoot! I'm un-armed!!!" then they would shoot you! lol

[@DrDarkly]

In 2003, I was 3. I would sit and watch him play, and even play myself sometimes. I lost the game disk in what, '08? '09? Well, yesterday, I found that it was on Steam. I loved this game, and still do.

[@WarpPal]

video ending is HILARIOUS

[@FeekyChucker]

@Aelkamal Haha it's fine, I don't really care about thumbs, though it is nice to see people agree.

[@ultamategamer84]

lol green faction and redfaction is 1 of my favorite games aswell nice vid :)

[@PEACE_LUVR]

I finished this game in 3 days.... 12 hrs a day...Man that was the best experience!!!!!

[@Rammsteinfan79]

"Would you like a lollipop?" Bam!! LOL!!

[@Sterracks]

"You wouldn't hurt a woman, would you?" *click click click click click click*

[@Glamosapien]

i loved that intro of shooting people haha very nice i have this game bourgth it a couple of months ago the story is really good and takes a fair amount of time to complete lol going green faction

[@canyontownsend3403]

I played this back when i was like 8 and i lost my memory card for the ps2 so i every time i died i had to start the game over lol its crazy to have found this game sum 10 years later and see what it was actual about.

[@mustbewasabi]

loved this game! i want to have it again !

[@ChazShinRa]

Takes me back.

[@beargirl1]

this game is great. im playing through it right now on PC and it's a blast. i recommend picking this up!

[@MataHari1994]

i love how you pronounce paul verhoeven

[@badazzpresidents23]

I don't know what he's talking about. Those cinematic scenes look absolutely EPIC.

[@KingGameReview]

I remember playing the demo for this game that came with some issue of PC Gamer. Blowing up a bridge with a tank on it and watching it fall into a pit was the greatest thing ever. I would just mess around in this training area and dig tunnels. I thought it was the most amazing thing ever.

[@bdmr_isf]

01:01 just go away! D'OH! like homer xD

[@kaz287]

the beginning made me laugh so much

[@Tuppoo94]

03:21 "solar panels" Classic Game Room rocks!

[@iamsmert123]

"would you like a lollypop?" BANG "dohhhh!"

[@1975juannicolas]

i love this game soo much!! i have good memories about this game :D

[@almaperro]

I never had the ps2 but I purchased it today and this is one of the games it came with. I'll see if I can get into it. I have a PS3 and a ps4 as well but I always wanted a ps2 being that it was the only ps I never had.

[@hunter371]

almaperro Well? Did you ever get into it? This was one of my favorite games/experiences for the PS2.

[@almaperro]

Man, not yet. I purchased silent hill 2 because I always wanted to play it and another game and I kinda left this for later. On my next day off ill make sure I play this.

[@Grandmastergav86]

I just bought a PS2 too, had an Xbox and DC back in the day. Love my PS4 and X1 but PS2 and DC are the best consoles ever IMHO

[@TachyonKing]

This was ahead of its time... lol it still is!

[@RhidMorgan]

what ultor is the evil company in saints row 2 aswell lol great review

[@stomkieken]

ist Ultor also a company in another game? i cant remember which one though

[@tennesseebb-4368]

Ohhh man....miss this game

[@metooblueshoes]

man... me and my two lil bro's played this til my ps2 went dead.... a very good summer. I also got part 2 as soon as it came out.. & yea... Geo Mod and the rocket launcher was shear brilliance

[@Selendryle]

Is it true that with enough explosives, you can make your own paths through the game? Like, to get into a room you could blow a tunnel down and under the wall?
