Red Faction: Guerrilla Video Review by GameSpot

[@jardle1]

This game is so underrated. It's one of my favorite games of all time.

[@zolays]

Omg samee it is so underrated.

[@ElvisFerbeyre]

Probably one of the most underrated games ever, deserves way much more credit

[@RILLEX360]

the game does feel a lot like saints row. if you liked the saints row games you'll probably like this game too.

[@allanlaxa8809]

fosho. feels like saint row 3 without silly animations that i didnt like at all. but i do love 1,2, and 4

[@kpjlflsknflksnflknsa]

I detested saints row

[@machngunjoe]

Best game ever made. So righteous and so fun with the freedom to bring down buildings in interesting ways

[@APE029]

And ahead of its time! No other game does destruction like red faction this franchise never got the respect it deserved

[@lanya2475]

+machngunjoe lmao "righteous"

[@ESFDragxnFistEntertainment]

Battlefield has more detailed destruction but I see what you mean

[@skoowy]

+MrNinjaCinema wut

[@RagedContinuum]

how does it compare to armageddon?

[@robbiefazle7802]

I just got this game on Steam. I'm having a good time playing it right now. Great in my opinion, and a great review.

[@smittyjohnson9554]

Does the steam version have controller support?

[@kaanman100]

This is one of my favourite games of all time had a blast playing this when it was released!

[@jasplays6392]

i REALLY hope whoever bought the rights to RF when THQ was closing, makes another RF game like this one. Not like Armageddon, they took everything bad with red faction guerrilla when they made Armageddon. So, PLZ whoever the new owners are just make a big open world with amped up destruction lots of things to blow shit up with. it doesn't even have to have a great story but i JUST WANT ANOTHER GOOD RED FACTION GAME.

[@TheBlackatdz]

the main charachter is a gorilla ? ok im sold.

[@pryt86]

Wish the reviews were still good like this now a days

[@ARM3DNOMICS]

I love blowing stuff up . I'm gonna download

[@shadowfire211]

I would say skip the first AC and just move to the second. you wont miss any crucial story details, and the gameplay is infinitely better. Never a dull moment in AC2.

[@TheForeverBean]

This game was extremely fun in the demo! Can't wait to get it.

[@Ostnizdasht206]

Wow.. a very in-depth review. Good job.

[@ryanscooby60]

The multiplayer was good but its a shame not many people played it when it came out. Just like now every one was playing call of duty.

[@thecasualreviewer2148]

Possibly the best Open World game in the Previous-Gen.

[@chuckiej]

except not even close. Armageddon - closed world. Guerilla - massive open world w/ crazy destruction engine

[@TheAjentJ]

It's a very appropriate introduction when it showcases the slesgehammer, the main character, and the opposing forces. It was in the all the commercials also.

[@LightCrasher]

Good game... Too bad there is nothing to do here, except destroying things.

[@Jericho92Gamer]

Great game bought it on steam when the first sale was on ( you can get it now for £3.75, 21 hours left) Took me 24 hours to finish the main story still have like a lot of upgrades and other actions to do and I'm starting multilayer which seems very good and has a lot of variety.

[@gregclemente301]

Multiplayer was good fun

[@bigred2989]

The bouncing of the vehicles makes sence if you think about it: Mars is way smaller then earth so it has a fraction of the gravity. Same argument applies for jumping.

[@Shwah]

@CrossleyProductions Yep, the whole game is open-world and the online has arenas but its just as fun. This is easily one of my favorite games of all time

[@nebulahawk5895]

They forgot to mention the gravity thing too, Red Faction's physics engine presents gravity as if it were on earth but if you think about it, you would actually be much lighter. If they made a game that takes place on Mars that had actual mars gravity that would be really cool

[@kennytheboss5775]

Cant lie looks better on pc coming from a console gamer

[@rfry11]

I really like this reviewer, he went very in-depth. Hopefully GameSpots reign of 1 to 3 reviewers for a platform has ended, or they've brought someone in who can actually write the script for a video game review.

[@DeViLzzz2006]

$1.99 on Steam right now.

[@Andrei2000PC]

@1mACann0n Thanks for the support.

[@ShreedhanVaidya]

Great game, got it when it came out, multiplayer is ace. One of the few games that I'll carry on playing online (like Halo 3 and CoD 4)

[@Microshocky]

Some games are just not story based, this is one of them, and no, i guarantee you that blowing up stuff never gets old, you always find new ways to topple a building. But i do think story is important, especially when a movie like Up made me cry at least 5 times

[@dunsemad]

The reason battlefield doesn't have this kind of destruction is because of balance. Imagine you're trying to save an objective in danger. Obviously you'll hide, but then a tanks comes by and destroys absolutely everything around, building crushes, and you're dead. It would be out of control. Though i do agree that the destruction is battlefield could be less scripted.

[@RAYZORSEDGE]

its not that they have bad reviews, they are just straight to the point.....they do need more emphasis when trying to promote games though....

[@XxImAtThEsToReXx]

I love this game, right now I only have it rented but I plan on buying it. Its a defiantly buy it if you love pure mayhem. Warning its not that big on story.

[@grahamtaylor8912]

Grabbed this for the grand price of 50p from Cex. Not played it yet. I hope I never wasted my cash.. Lol.

[@junkrat1]

i just bought it cos its 75% on steam today, this looks like the best buy this year :D

[@AnimeMan75062]

@SamuraixJack In terms of exclusives, Xbox has Halo, Crackdown, Gears, Alan Wake while PS3 has Killzone, Uncharted, Resistance, Socom, Mag. BUT while the PS3 may have 1 more shooter exclusive, PS3 has ALOT more exclusives that AREN'T shooters. While non-shooters exclusives for xbox includes Forza and Fable, PS3 has LBP, R&C, Infamous, GoW, Twisted Metal and ALOT more, making shooters only about 30% of PS3 exclusives, while shooters nearly dominate the Xbox exclusive line-up.

[@chimpspanner]

I've played through the demo mission a few times tonight - I get so happy every time I drive my truck straight through a building. It's just amazing. Anyway, I'm kinda on the brink of buying but I wonder if the 'destroy anything' approach could potentially ruin single player? I mean in theory you could reduce the entire gameworld to rubble right? Is there any rebuild/regeneration system in place to give the game longevity?

[@pyrright380]

I picked it up off steam recently and I don't know why the controls are set up the way they are I had to remap everything even then it didn't catch for me

[@ChesterJester11]

I just bought RFG from Xbox 360's Games On Demand for 1600 Microsoft points ($20) and it's awesome.

[@pjthebest10]

@XxepicbobxX this has an open world. armageddon is a linear shooter so it depends on wich of the two you like to play more; open or linear..

[@Samurai219]

Alright, I'll accept that. Thank you for taking the time to actually reply with decency (Unlike most people who are unfortunately are the opposite). Oh and the Side-note. . . Also acceptable. :D

[@Lobos222]

@mauridaherg ? Steam is international. Only a few games release dates etc are region based. The sale is world wide and still going on. Just check it out, google steam games, or something. I havent played Just Cause 2. I played the first one and didnt like it, but peeps I know says the second one is much better.

[@donniedarkoooooo]

I got this game for pc (retail version) for only 7€ ..... one of my best buys ever...

[@skyhawk00787]

(SPOILER ALERT!) Instead of reseting the enemy troops when you beat the game they should have had the red faction confiscate the EDF uniforms and weapons to establish a new military for the free state. And perhaps they could have designed it so that the EDF would occasionally drop forces on Mount Vogel, and you would have to fight them off. To have the game perpetuate like it does kinda mitigates the rewarding feeling from beating the campaign. PS - Buildings should eventually reconstruct!

[@redplanet667]

Just got it for 99p from Game, gotta be worth that

[@PixelKnighty]

In sweden there was a super sale on a website like 2 years ago when i picked it up for 1 sek/ 0.5 USD

[@PixelKnighty]

i meant 3 Sek

[@Somestuffisfunny]

Yeah well we get it for free on xbox

[@donniedarkoooooo]

@ZeppelinFloydRoses thank you!

[@103035icle]

"micro scopic nanites" lol.

[@APoudrier]

ibought it the multiplayer is actually longer than the single player in unlockables simply amazing

[@serb86kv]

they just added steam Achievements , gonna give dis puppy another playthrough !

[@Backslash166]

BF3 did't have destructible enviornments, it had destructible ELEMENTS. You can destroy very few things. Mostly this involves /some/ walls, small buildings, and barriers, as well as pieces of larger buildings To contrast, almost EVERY SINGLE building in the game could be destroyed COMPLETELY in RFG. The physics system was much more robust. And it is understandable for gameplay reasons why BF3 wasn't very destructible, but in terms of contrasting the two, BF3's destruction really doesn't compare.

[@MetalheadJakeG]

Got this for $5.00 on Steam today. Gotta love it!

[@RobloxLambo2011]

I'm a destructive gamer, and this is a destructive game, my kind of game!

[@DrRinion]

in this 3rd game, EDF are the bad guys and Red Faction are the good guys and has one more faction, marauders, they will help red faction :D

[@quacktac]

Avalanche, take note, this is the destruction we need for Just Cause 3.

[@TMTLive]

Everybody seems to think so, huh. I mean, it's not a good game by any means, but I did have a lot of fun with it. Just screwing around, and doing the side mission thingies.

[@TXFDA]

It figures, both free 360 games on my bday month, wouldn't interest me at all.

[@raydenzidane6]

unfucking grateful u little shit

[@tunaleg]

No one gives a fuck about your shitty bday

[@raydenzidane6]

fuckin turd

[@TXFDA]

tunaleg And no one gives a shit if you give a shit? What's your point?

[@TXFDA]

Lloyd Christmas Well let's see. I could pay $60 a year for xbox live. And get shitty free games each month. Or I could have payed $50 each month for Playstation Plus on ps3, and got GOOD games each month. PS3's 'free' games, are usually recent, and games people actually want. I think I can be a little annoyed with Microsoft over their crappy free games list if I want.

[@dillonjohnlane]

The only similarity between Prototype and Infamous is that there both sandbox Superhero games, But other then that there VERY different games. Like in Prototype can you run straight up buildings, have almost all melee weapons and the story is completely linear. Infamous's Parkour is much more realistic and limited, Your weapons are long range and you have an impact on the story with the Good/Evil choices. I'm in love with Prototype and Infamous. They should be judged on There own merits.

[@efil4aggin64]

yeah you know the physics of SR2 are so good.

[@legofreak18]

It's funny how Battlefield 4 is advertising something that was featured in a 4 year old 2009 game(the everything can be destroyed part) in a 2013 game.

[@filopride619]

The repetitive missions are so good and addicting, plus it can get way too difficult at times.

[@Ringgiants08]

ive played red faction at a friends house and it can be very addicting with the destruction and the overall scope is pretty cool, but i havent played long enough to see if it can get boring

[@guitarmaster96ify]

i hate how to screen keeps shaking when you hit something, can you take that feature off?

[@gizmo2477]

in story mode do buildings come back after you destroy them?

[@SpudAlmighty]

@GodLikeSkillz89 gameplay over graphics... hell yeah! A very good example of this is the PS2... they're still making games for the ancient console and they still sell well. PS2 havent been top notch in the way of graphics since the gamecube/xbox came out so it kind of proves the point. But personally id rather play Golden Axe, James Pond, Simon The sorcerer, Command and Conquer and the original GTA now then most of the games of this

[@MrRhysReviews]

@legandarymasterrevan From what I can gather, He is White, Has a Tan of course mixed with Mars giving everything a Bit of a Tan or Red like Colour to everything makes His Skin Tone confusing, He is however a White Guy (Caucasian)

[@hughmungus4274]

Cars feel floaty? Oh really? Well that'd be okay if it was set on mars. ... Oh wait, it is.

[@Eldoctor888]

@DeadCatStudios at the end of the demo when the map zooms out at first i was like holy s***

[@anoninunen]

imagine: •tf2 •HL2 (citidel, especially) •Just Cause 2 •portal with full destruction physics. Yeah, demoman, indeed

[@MsMegadude64]

Screw Minecraft, Battlefield 3, & GTA. THIS is the best destruction game ever made.

[@barbellbryce]

2023 and we will don't have an open world game with comparable destruction.....???

[@knightinmiami]

This is one of my favorite games, too bad sales were not as good. I think they missed some opportunities regarding online gameplay. They should have had like a more epic type of game in which one side plays red faction and others the edf. Full maps and vehicles available would have been more epic. I hope for the next game they dont get rid of 3rd person view, hopefully they can have both (like ARMA2 fps and tps).

[@vikingsfan2218]

Of course the vehicles are floaty. You're on MARS.

[@EPiiCx5587]

the reason why its easy to flip the cars is because mars onley has 38% of the gravity on earth

[@xaioxaio11]

I am so getting this game!

[@mcennis4545]

@mauridaherg If you feel like waiting, crysis 2, If you don't feel like waiting and have xbox live, halo reach. If you have played mass effect 1 and love it then mass effect 2. The rest get boring after awhile but are still good games but id get them when there second hand or alot cheaper new

[@xXSOL1DXx]

i never tried this game or assassins creed 2, which one is more worth is?

[@meb64meb]

how many mb does this game take in steam?

[@Ostnizdasht206]

great review

[@vilane421]

@george5991 i would recommend saints row 2. far more better than gta 4 since it lets you customize the protagonist to your liking and because the story is an adrenaline rush. its a great game that lets you wreak havoc and rewards you by letting you accumulate "respect" that will let you advance through the story.

[@TheDevinus]

Liked this game, but would of liked in single player if EDF could begin to try and take back sectors they lost, meaning you go back to fight them off. Also build up conquered areas etc! But was a lot of fun blowing the hell out of mars!

[@SilStie]

no its not the gravity depens on the mass of the planet and not every planet is the same size is it ? so gravity is different depending on what planet you are on.

[@tom4cfc123]

such an underrated series

[@soaponaroapDG]

RFG is awesome game, i've had to start all my games again coz i made a new PSN account, but i don't care, but one thing i noticed and really get annoyed about in RFG is that you don't carry enough bullets, it doesn't make the RF's situation seem more desperate or whatever, it's a shooter (kinda), right? you need bullets to shoot, and hammer vs gun, gun wins, the only way to get more bulets in a fight is to wait for your guys to die or run out to the battlefield and pick some up, both bad ideas.

[@JavlinVII]

Okay, the vehicles are "floaty" because Mars has less gravity than Earth... did he not finish grade school?

[@argeniscanez9503]

this was a great game after the big letdown that was red faction 2, loved the first game, guerrilla, and so far armageddon is fun

[@MrMurreburr]

i have this game, if you're intrested in ripping stuff apart and physics, this is a 11/10 game for you, no kidding, i love physics and this game became a part of my life when i bought it ^.^

[@alangeorge5592]

this could run on ps3/Xbox 360 and just cause 3 cannot run properly on ps4/Xbox one

[@bigred2989]

Yes, you get it about halfway through.

[@CorruptGun]

Multiplayer in this game looks cool

[@mauridaherg]

@Lobos222 FUCK! But I'm guessing that offer isn't available in my country anyways.. unless it's on amazon. Would you recommend Just Cause 2?

[@XxepicbobxX]

umm should i buy this one or the next part?

[@Microshocky]

Well, this game is just so satisfying, it doesnt really matter, the story kind of works, its not deep at all though

[@megamaxie]

im confused, is infamous the one youre saying is better, or prototype?

[@TheGamer31Fly]

Yeah but I think there is a mod you can get where the people will rebuild in real time and the EDF can take back areas that you have claimed.

[@APE029]

to me this game is basically flawless. ya it is repetitive but idc at all GEO MOD2.0 never gets old. and the online is flawless

[@mauridaherg]

Ok here's the thing. Right now, I have $70 = One NEW game in my country. Which one should I buy: 1. Just Cause 2? 2. Halo Reach? 3. Red Faction Guerrilla? 4. Mafia II? 5. FIFA 11 (Already have FIFA 10)? 6. Mass Effect 2? 7. Crysis 2? 8. FarCry 2?

[@Zimba9810]

is this game still active online? PC version. i cant seem to find anyone in match making. do ppl still play ?

[@BRADYSMITH8395]

@mauridaherg Red faction is really fun, and far cry 2 has great graphics and shooting, but I'd buy Reach. I havn't played it yet but every other Halo game I've played gives a way more amazing game experience overall. IDK. Every game you picked is supposed to be good.

[@Gaidenn112]

Well.....everyone has there opinion. I am just really into the story and the emotional connection. It just seems that blowing up and destroying things gets boring afterwhile and with no good story it fails. You said its not even deep story that makes it even worst. lol

[@StaggnGuvnor]

Armageddon and guerilla were both good games imo
