    Gone is the sandbox of RFG as Armageddon returns to it's roots with a more linear approach. The weapons, gameplay and Geo-mod 2.0 engine really shine in this 4th installment. I haven't finished the the SP campaign, but have been told that it clocks in around 6 hrs., having played online co-op in Infestation is a blast! Armageddon is highly recommended and is probably my front-runner forGone is the sandbox of RFG as Armageddon returns to it's roots with a more linear approach.

    Very disappointing game...Red Faction Guerrilla was much better in everything. Armageddon has a very poor gameplay, dull enemies, controversial level design. The only working aspect concerns world destructions but graphics is not that good and colours palette is awful. Moreover, dx10/11 is a broken feature. Characters are not charismatic, and the whole game isn't that fun. That's a shameVery disappointing game...Red Faction Guerrilla was much better in everything.

    Fun game, still working on it. wish they had a cover system that be fun. also being able to wreck the place is always a blast in my book. the story so far is really good, hope they make another red faction i remember playing the 1st on PlayStation 2.

    The game play of Red Faction: Armageddon is over all great. The UI is simple and the guidance system is just very helpful. Graphics are great and the characters are well designed. Some parts of the game are really annoying like near the end of the game where enemy's constantly spawn and over whelm you. They surprised me after i beat it with new game +, which is great. Over all on amazing game.

    Red Faction: Armageddon to me is a good B movie.

    It was worth sacrificing free-form play for a linear story driven shooter. Armageddon is different than other pieces of the Red Faction series but it still brings all the fun of "mass" destruction. [July 2011]

    Armageddon's visuals are borderline awful, but the primitive gameplay is what looks the worst.
