Written review-Red Faction Gurilla

Firstly im going to speak about the Gerneral storyline. Bascially you play this character named Alec Mason, who is not your average super hero but looks tough enough not to mess with in my opinion, with the evil eyes and scar on his right cheek.
A team called EDF have took over Mars and control anything that happens and dont treat normal civilians with respect so over the years the civilains started to make weopons, and vechiles out of scratch with peices of scrap fount laying around.
The storyline is pretty simple and weird its not really planned out well at all. So they make a team named red faction and start fighting off the edf to control mars and make it a peacful place.
The colour pallete used within the environment are browns with added red in places and even abit of snow about. The actual environment is pretty impressive though nice mountains and sky, however there is no change between day and night everytime i seem to play the game its day time and rarely night.
However the buildings,houses made are pretty dam cool and the way you can smash through any building you want and fight the edf with rumble surrouding you.
I like the gameplay and the way the charcter moves throughout the game and how the aiming is so accurate with different scopes for different weopons. The way the character you can control, having him sneak round a corner and wack an EDF troop round the head is wicked,
There are so many annoying things about the campaing like the slow driving around a massive planet; your meant to do a time race mission where you carry a bomb to one point to another its stupid,frustrating!
The main missions are really cool this is why i played the campaign beacuse i just wanted to find out what happens next, the side missions are very much the opposite just really annoying pointless missions, that repeat themselves. There are destruction missions which are pretty cool but it dont take a rocket scienctist to work them out. Theres ones where you have to go and rescue two red faction members from edf capture its a really good idea but not when you have just alec mason fighting off 50 edf with tanks and amazing weaopons, you end up running out of ammo, even the odd red faction member will come and help you, but do they help !? no!! They get killed within two seconds, which raises my polint about making it an online multi player game on campaign!
I still play this game today as personally i think its the best multi palyer game! I know thats a massive thing to say as there are alot of great titles out there with amazing multi-player but i enjoy this the most! It doesnt stress me out one bit! The aiming the way you run crouch is all so smooth and nice! It Can be fun smashing your way through buildings killing the opposing team. This game can be very intense too, ive had games with only one point in it, you can hide set up parameters with each team mate and actually dominate the apposing team who run in like lost chickens waiting to be killed.
I love the idea of different back packs to make your weapon stronger or to fly ontop of buildings and jump down on your enemy, im going to describe each back pack and what it does just to have an insight on how clever you have to be on the multi-player fights,.
> Fire power- makes your bullets twice as strong and deadly, awesome for long distance fire fights.
Concussion-knocks a close enemy onto the floor
Rhino-charges through walls also knocking enemy's down
stealth-invisible for a certain time period
Jet pack- makes you go high into the buildings/mountains, shoot from above!
Thrust-fly up through ceilings to the roof also downwards thrust knocks enemy down
vision- See enemy's through walls mountains up high or low

All of these back packs cancel each other out in one way or the other, so the game play really depends on where you are, what time and place, also what weapon you are carrying!
I like most of the weapons on this game but there are your typical noob weapons like the rocket launcher , thermal rocket launcher and the electrical wave weapon( the most pointless weapon ever!
There is a lot of variety in the multi player spawning with random weapons, one n one fights, team tactical modes as well!
Overall i think this game has a lot of potential of its ideas to make a pretty awesome game and could be selling as well as gow/cod in the charts. If you love multi-player warfare games that actually take a bit of thinking to what you do and can be fun to play then this is definitely the game for you!
My personal rating is 8/10 overall rating considering the whole gaming industry 4/10 because of the boring,frustrating campaign!
