Red Faction 2 (for PS2) is a completely different game than Red Faction (1). The single player mode is fairly short but very well done. The multiplayer has changed from relying on Geo-Mod technology but rather, it focuses on gameplay. The Geo-Mod is present, though. The bots are fully customizable so you are never out-matched (unless you make it that way). I personally think the multiplayer has a great replay value. Set up co-opertive matches where you and your friends play against bots or you can go for the old fashioned you vs. your friends in an all out deathmatch.
Weapon-wise all the old classics are back along with a few new ones. (My personal favorite was and is the precision rifle) Definatly worth the money.

I was eager to play this game because I was a huge Red Faction fan for the PC when it came out years ago. I especiall enjoyed the G-mod effect where you can blow out walls...especially on multi-play. So I had high hopes for this new Red Faction release. I was dissapointed..plain and simple. The gameplay was horribly short and uneventful. I enjoy a FPS that has a good story behind it...ala Deus Ex:Invisible War or even the corniest story lines like Return to Castle Wolfenstein. But they were great games! Red Faction is the type of game that only a person would enjoy if you just wanted to go around shooting stuff. Mind you, I did enjoy the grenade launcher and turning my foes into chunks of flesh...but even that gets old at times. The graphic environments are below par...nothing new or innovative here. The voice acting is complete cheese and the storyline that was so brilliant in the first RF incarnation is absent here. The AI in this game is horrible and is completly laughable. I guess that is why getting through it is so easy because the difficulty is a joke.

All in all, this is not the best title out there...but is not the worst if you just want to pick up a game that you can spend a few hours on. Stick with greats for your Xbox like Prince of Persia, Ninja Gaiden, Halo...and the upcoming Doom 3 and Halo 2. A rental folks...not a buyer. You've been warned.

this game was just ok. i thought the multiplayer sucked. co -op mode was good but all the other modes sucked. The levels were horrible and it was extremely easy to kill people. you could just go in there with a grenade launcher and blow the heck out of everybody. I thought the multiplayer was fun but on the third level underground it was confusing what to do. Alot of times the enemies on normal level would shoot at you for forty-five seconds and you would barely be damaged.
