Red Faction Guerilla (PS3)

When the original Red Faction was released back in 2001, it send shockwaves around the world. The game's famed GeoMod allowed gamers to destroy large portions of the environment around them, a feat never before possible. The second game, released several years later, however, simply faded into obscurity. Now, the third game in the series has been released, and thankfully, it's something of a return to form, although certainly not without its flaws. As per the previous titles, Guerilla is set on Mars, where there are small settlements and colonies that are being repressed by a nefarious bid bad that you attempt to destroy.

I have been a fan of Red Faction since the first game release. I am a fan of FPS and was surprised to see that the latest instalment of red faction was a third person shooter.

Only my second game review: experienced gamers will bear with me if my terminology isn't quite right. This is a third-person-shooter: the market is flooded with this type of game so this one had a lot to live up to. As for the 'plot' you are a futuristic soldier-type on Mars: you take the role of Alec Mason, a newcomer to the planet who's looking for work. Mars is under the control of the ultra-oppresive Earth Defence Force. Mason soon finds himself caught up with the Red Faction rebel movement who are trying to overthrow the EDF. You move through six zones, each of which has its own set of back-stories and missions to complete. The main missions ...  Read the complete review
