Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Fun to blow stuff up...
Review: Hehehehehe... How many of you have played Perfect Dark? Ok, how many of you have planted about 1000 mines and then watched in dismay as the only thing it does beyond the explosion is scorch the wall? The first thing I'm going to do in this game is blow everything up in a level. I'm going to see how far I can dig a hole with mines. I'm going to make a peep hole to snipe people with my guns........

Summary: Assuming the game meets the hype
Review: If the game truly is blow up anything we are talking serious fun... since there are countless games where your walking around with a BFG and can't get past a wooden door(highly annoying) but i think there will still be many things you can't blow up along with bridges and walls that you can...but if its all true its many gamers highest wishes come true finally.....

Summary: Previews
Review: After seeing the previews in two or three issues of PCGamer, I would have to say that this game looks like it will take the 3D action world by storm. The fully deformable terran engine (Geomod) basically allows you to blow up everything. Need to have a little foxhole? Fire some rockets into the ground. Need to take down an annoying guard tower? Fire some rockets at the base. Also, as said by c-dawg-tdx, this game will also be the first on mod-makers list. I can foresee many potential mods for this game, just as there are for Half-Life. Not only a blower-uppers' game, it also provides an engaging storyline with many twists and good plot. Get it. (when it comes out)

Summary: Beta Tester, god this game rocks
Review: wow,.......wow, this game will change it all. the Geo-mod tech used that allows for instant level/map redefination rocks! I'm also on a MOD dev team and i can tell you that when this hits stores it will be the first thing on our list. If you havent heard about this game yet,... well not too suprising, the main things that will set this game apart are the tech aspects not the story-line. The Geo-mod engine allows the user(player) to modify the aspects of the level at will. this means that when you shoot a rocket at a door it blows a hole in it not just leaves a black scorch mark. A MUST HAVE for any Hal-life Fans!!!!!!!

Summary: GRRRRRRRRRREAT!!!!
Review: I recently had a chance to play this game at one of my conferences with THQ. This game really does give everything that it promises...explotions...and doors that you can just blow up at anytime...so in my last words before I go to play it some more...GRRRRRRRRREAT!!!!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Simply put...
Review: Simply put, Red Faction is a good shooter. It's fun, the graphics are decent, and it's funny. It's different in that it's a game that doesn't take itself too seriously. I often chuckle at the things that happen in the game and the way my enemies will cry for mercy before I blow them up or shoot them. For the price you've got a very good value here. If you're a shooter fan, then get a copy of Red Faction.

Summary: A great 1st person shooter
Review: I bought this game recently, and I am REALLY satisfied. This game is great, especially now that its only $$$, it provides a great challenge, but not unbearably hard. it has many times of weapons, even a gun that shoots through walls. The multiplayer is also great, because there is always someone on it. The levels in it are also nice, some are big, some are small, and some are in between, and theres 3 game modes, such as Deatch Match, Team Death Match, and Capture the flag. Since this is only $$$ now, I would highly recomend it for anyone looking for a cheap 1st person shooter that is very good, I would also recomend it to anyone who just wants a first person shooter.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Not much here that you haven?t seen already
Review: Red Faction is THQ's futuristic, Mars-theme first person shooter game. Over all it is a pretty ordinary shooter with one or two twists. The first twist is the underutilized "Geo Mod" engine. The Geo Mod engine The purpose is to make blowing stuff up more meaningful by letting craters and holes form from explosions. The idea is that you can blast through walls, or around locked doors. It's a good selling point, but there is hardly any use for it in the game. Once you get past the first mission, you never use it. All of the doors are basically unlocked for you anyways, so what's the point? The other twist is the use of some really cool vehicles. This was my favorite part of the game. Flying around or driving around in an armored vehicle and mowing down bad guys with a heavy machine gun is good mindless shooter fun. There are also a couple of points in the game where you pilot a submarine or an aircraft.

There is a good variety of weapons and ammo in the game, all of which are useful at some point. Red Faction does a better job than most games of getting all of the weapons into the game. Enemy AI is tough, but still at the right level.

Other than that, the game is pretty "blah". The environments are as repetitive as you can get. You are on Mars - everything is either an underground installation or a rust-colored cave. The graphics are decent, but not great. The storyline is an unoriginal mix between "Deus Ex" and "Total Recall". Add to that, it's somewhat poorly done. Also, for some reason, THQ decided to include a couple of contrived, bad stealth missions in this game. They are more annoying than anything. The game gets extremely hard about halfway through, and towards the end of the game, you will find yourself wearing out the quick save and quick load keys. This is due mostly to one annoying and overpowered weapon that allows enemies to shoot you through walls.

Red Faction isn't a bad game. I found it in the bargain bin and I don't regret buying it. It gives you one fun play through, and that's probably it. The game probably won't knock you out of your chair though.
