Well this game has been out for a while now but I have just barley registered to this site and have desided to review it. Anyway, Red Faction: Guerrilla is a 3rd person shooter game that will last you for mounths to come and has great replay value. I bought this game when it had first came out and i still play it today for fun. Replay Value is everything in a game to me. And this game has plenty of it.
Lets go over some things that make Red Faction: Guerrilla a game worth buying- (On an unrelated side note, I wrote this article when there was the major PSN outage, and I would like to say this game has gotten me through most of it.) The music in this game is really cool. It fits the theme of the game well and I also like the transaction from a peaceful Sunday drive on mars to an epic battle in a refinery with explosions everywhere, and the music transitions nicely, I almost feel like it is just one long song that slowly gets faster and breaks out into a fast paced battle song. Did I mention the explosions? They add a nice beat to the battles.
And with explosions, comes destruction. And this is one of the best things about Red Faction- a totaly destructable enviorment. Who uses doors these days? Just bust one out of the wall with a sledgehammer. And building destruction? Remote charges should do the trick. Yup, thats right. In the world of Red faction, all buildings you encounter you can tear right down with anything explosive you have, or if you dont got that- you have a trusty sledgehammer to work with. And it will get the job done. this factor of destructable buildings is great for battles, because you know when the bottem floor of that building is swarming with your enemies, just blow a hole out the wall to jump out and into the getaway car. Yeah, there are cars/trucks in this game too, and driving itself is a blast, considering the gravaty on mars will make a dune buggy fly 50 feet off the ground, and a semi truck launch into the 2nd story of a building.
So overall Red Faction: Guerrilla is a great solo game, and it has some multiplayer features as well, but im not going to review those considering I never play multiplayer, but this game is a great solo game for the next time the PSN goes down for a mounth straight.
EDIT: Sorry guys for my bad spelling. I tired to fix it like one of the reports said but i just have bad grammer overall
With winter fast approaching those that live in the southern hemisphere, Player 2 takes a look at some of the best games to numb the pain when you are off sick.
Yesterday, publisher THQ Nordic announced that Red Faction Guerrilla Re-Mars-tered, a remaster of 2009's Red Faction: Guerrilla, will be released later this year for PlayStation 4, Windows PC and Xbox One. Yes, you read that intentionally tacky title correctly. Nonetheless, THQ Nordic's titles are far from the worst forced puns found in the history of naming video games.
It looks like THQ Nordic are reviving another THQ franchise for PS4 as Gamestop listings appear for Red Faction: Guerrilla on PS4 and Xbox One.
Oh my god ! That game was my favorite and it’s also show the destruction environment before Crackdown 3 was a thing.
This game had amazing destruction and it was a great game, but this has nothing to do with Crackdown 3. No one claimed Crackdown 3 invented destruction, ever heard of Battlefield? Plenty of other games have it. What Crackdown 3 is supposedly innovating in (at least in their tech demos) is open world destruction down to minute details calculated by the cloud...also with multiplayer.
Yes, I know that. But Red Faction Guerrilla is also Open World game with destruction environment.
it's easy for people just to throw anything negative and aim it at MS for some reason. Even if it has zero context here.
@Neonridr But MS said themselves that they are the one who created these thing first. And I find that MS is getting way too cocky.
Great news! This game had the most satisfying destruction mechanics I have ever experienced. I hope they upgrade it even further with the remaster!
Well, destruction has always been one of the main features of the red faction series, even back in 2001 with the 1st game.

"@Neonridr But MS said themselves that they are the one who created these thing first. And I find that MS is getting way too cocky."
No they didn't. Do you ever stop lying? When did MS say they were the first to create destruction?
And teh scale in which Crackdown is doing destruction vs Red Faction- dont compare. Its embarrassing.
I'll bookmark this thread though so you and your alts can have a read when crackdown is out and you're served crow
I think you are confusing in-engine destruction vs. cloud destruction. What MS claims Crackdown 3 is doing is not the same as this game. You are just looking at things crumbling and assuming it's the same thing. Cloud computation is actually innovative if true. It means you can have multiple instances of very detailed destruction in different areas of an open map, without multiplayer players interacting with it (unlike Red faction which is single player only).
"MS said themselves that they are the one who created these thing first"
They did not say they created destructible environments. You don't seem to know what you are talking about. What Red faction achieved is incredible but the difference with Crackdown 3 is only that there is a lot MORE destruction in a seamless multiplayer environment. We don't know if the actual game will succeed in doing this but I'm explaining their claims.
YES! Will it have the multiplayer? me and my friends used to play FFA on quarantine all the time. So much fun.
"Red Faction Guerrilla Remaster", meh
How about a remake for a changed with better graphics and physics.
Yeah, a remake that makes use of the improved hardware would be alot better. The game was fun, but iduno if i'll buy it again if it's just a slight graphical upgrade.
I agree. This looks more like a quick cash grab to me. Most of the re-mastered games that came out recently anyways.
Remember this gen has worse CPUs than last gen. Better physics might not be possible.
PS4 CPU is comparable considering the amount of optimization that was needed for the Cell, and 360 CPU handled it just fine, so you're saying the 360 CPU is still better than the APU CPU in the PS4? Also, GPU computes physics..
I think Physics done on the gpu these days. It's a technique mark cerny discussed when ps4 was announced. Ubisoft did a huge presentation about it.
@Rare: I was wondering about that after my comment actually. But if the GPU is expected to pump out higher graphic fidelity how much room will be left for physics?
@Eidolon: If the PS3 and 360 CPUs are roughly equivalent to the PS4 Xbone CPUs how the hell is it going to pump out better physics and better graphics at the same time? The GPUs in the current gen consoles aren't beasts by any measure. There's a reason we haven't seen better physics and AI in current gen consoles as opposed to last gen; CPUs. APUs extra efficiency isn't enough to make up for the lack of power.
But the GPUs can now handle general processing, while in the gen7 consoles couldn't. I'm pretty sure PS4/XB1 can handle a remake with much better physics, the CPUs ARE better and and easier to optimize, but the Cell if fully optimized might actually do some pretty good physics, but that level of optimization never happen for physics(used for graphics or extra power mostly ignored), and GPGPU already blows it out of the water.
@Eidolon: I get the GPUs can process physics but if the PS4 GPU is being used for improved graphics and resolution, than it won't have a lot of room for physics. And if the CPU in the PS4 is roughly the same as the PS3 CPU where is the extra computing coming from?
Bro, the PS4 would only need to use 1/10 of it's optimized GPU FLOPS to handle the max a fully optmized PS3 Cell broadband engine could handle. The Jaguar CPU, however, is a bit weaker as far as FLOPs, but it is leagues better for general processing, including AI, especially since devs hardly took advantage of the the SPEs to it's full potential.

$40 for our 9 year old game, please.
This is a really nice review. It's ironic because just 1 day ago I finished playing Red Faction Guerilla!
Good review. I need to get this game, this game has been on my radar for a while. I love games with replay value especially sandbox genres.
Have you tried Just Cause 2? You might enjoy that.
Tip: If you are going to write any more reviews, do them in Word and copy and paste them on here. That's what I did for my Yakuza 3 review, you don't need to worry about spelling errors that much.
Yea this game is highly underrated and unappreciated. I bought is brand new for $10 and was one of my best purchases ever.
Great game that barely gets any love. I just finished it a month or so ago, my only complaint was it got somewhat repetitive especially concerning the environments.. not sure just how varied the surface of mars can be, though.
Anyway I hope they can keep the ball rolling with Armageddon, hopefully the interior will have more variety and also hopefully its not just a bunch of tunnels.
