Most of those improvements were in the area of gameplay, with the addition of a stealth feature, a good couple of strong storybuilding moments, an often highly vertical and extremely smooth combat system, and the game's signature 'set piece' moments (train level, anyone?). It also introduced a colorful blend of new characters, and set it in a unique, beautiful, and perpetually interesting medley of locations. And, most refreshingly, it did not take itself too seriously right off the bat, choosing instead to have a good bit of fun first. The story's pacing was a little awkward at times, as it ditched one of its more popular characters early, but nonetheless, the game managed to get near-to-perfect reviews from most reviewers, and perfect from others.
Altogether, one of my favorite games.Ī composite of the physics, game world, AI, and overall feel of the game. The third establishment in THQ and Volition's destruction-heavy sci-fi resistance shooter series, and the first and only open-world one, Red Faction: Guerrilla had a generic story, lackluster graphics, and clearly uninspired dialogue, but its crown jewel is its destruction system, allowing the player to destroy any man-made structure they see. Fun as that was, however, I loved more the idea of a persistent enemy force. The game properly delivers the impression that you are part of a Guerrilla force, and that you can't badass your way through waves of enemy reinforcements until they give up. Once you're done shooting or blowing things up, you have to grab a vehicle and bug out. That sense of panicked, desperate escape is one I haven't felt in near any other game (with the only possible exception being the first Assassin's Creed). Moreover, it is as comfortable playing brutishly as playing tactically.
You can either satisfyingly but quietly crush enemies under your sledgehammer, while setting up explosives for your big attack and snipe from a distance, or you can coat a container truck with sticky bombs and drive it right through the front door.
