  1. The Geo Mod engine provides mere window dressing to what is nothing more than your standard FPS, complete with big freaking guns and explosions.
  2. The sequel just seems to abandon all of what I thought made the original unique and special, and has in effect become just another pretty face in a crowded genre.

    what the hell happened ?
    the first red faction game was really good... This number two is a big pile of crap... everything is poorly done... Graphics are nightmarish, gameplay is a mess.... how coul the same team make a good game and then an insult to all the gamers.... that's a real mystery to me...

    don't buy red faction 2 on ps4, it's a waste of time and money.
