    Have you people even played the first 2 games, Red Faction 1 and 2 was all about pacing, you would run through stage after stage, with amazing guns, just blazing, think Gears of War but only first person. THIS GAME HOWEVER, is GTA 4/ and Mercenaries with nothing to do but fight wave after wave of dump insanely hard enemies. Oh god the multiplayer looks as if it was made for the N64, Have you people even played the first 2 games, Red Faction 1 and 2 was all about pacing, you would run through stage after stage, with amazing guns, just blazing, think Gears of War but only first person. THIS GAME HOWEVER, is GTA 4/ and Mercenaries with nothing to do but fight wave after wave of dump insanely hard enemies. Oh god the multiplayer looks as if it was made for the N64, basically run,throw or plant grenade,run,shoot, even describing it is boring, let alone playing this mess. What the hell did they turn this game into?. I don't think i ever played a longer game than Red Faction 1, and the best multiplayer of all time i would say is Red Faction 2, the guns were balanced, fast paced, spawning and fighting was incredible. Please people if you want a game with atleast story, pick up GTA 4, if you want a game with cool explosions and driving, pick up Mercenaries. Red Faction Guerrilla, looked at what was selling and just went with it. Shame on you Volition for destroying one of the greatest games a console had(PS2), now I know how Spyro feels: ( If anyone played the first 2 games they would know what im talking about, i still play them even today, It's simply amazing to see how much more better the PS2 is then every next gen console so far.… Expand

    I don't understand how so many people give this game a high rating unless they're paid by the developer to do so. I loved the first two red factions and played countless hours on them with my friends. I've logged about 24 hours in the third red faction installment so far and I don't think I'm going to play anymore.

I've logged about 24 hours in the third red faction installment so far and I don't think I'm going to play anymore. While the game has a good weapons and upgrade variety, the game is slow paced filled with long drives to dull and repetitive missions. The world design is blocky and uninteresting (one thing that would have made the travel from one mission to the next bearable). So far I've found the storyline something to be drudged through rather than enjoyed. I was looking foward to the game moving out of the fps realm and into a sandbox world with totally destructibility, but guerilla really let me down. I wouldn't even advise renting the game at this point. I feel like I wasted my money on the purchase of this game.… Expand

    I have played Redfaction games since the first game came out and I really liked the multiplier game play in both part 1 and 2. In Redfaction Guerrilla the multiplier game play just sucks and I think that the multiplier game play was the missing ingredient to the third game. When you your missing the main ingredient what is the point? I am very disappointed by this game!!!

    Really disappointed with this game. Iv never bothered to write comments about a game before but this was so poor that i feel compelled to warn people. Once the fun from trashing buildings wares off all you are left with is a very boring third person shooter with tonnes of boring, repetitive side missions. The game tries to have you addopting guerrilla tactics but ultimately that boils Really disappointed with this game. Iv never bothered to write comments about a game before but this was so poor that i feel compelled to warn people. Once the fun from trashing buildings wares off all you are left with is a very boring third person shooter with tonnes of boring, repetitive side missions. The game tries to have you addopting guerrilla tactics but ultimately that boils down to throwing some charges at a building and legging it back to a safehouse to avoid the limitless supply of EDF who will turn up. Despite this the single player did hold my interest just long enough for me to finish it through once before trying the multiplayer. Now this is why this game gets a 3 from me not a 6 because the multiplayer is pathetic. This simply wasnt worth the money and is best enjoyed as weekend rental.… Expand

    Red Faction: Guerrilla, just Isn't really that good of a game. It's not a terrible game, but it's a bellow average game with not a whole lot of things to see, and do compared to most open world sandbox games. The story is forgettable in my eyes, with very few interesting characters. The graphics for a 2009 game are really good, and when you're destroying stuff it looks really cool, but theRed Faction: Guerrilla, just Isn't really that good of a game.

The graphics for a 2009 game are really good, and when you're destroying stuff it looks really cool, but the occasional pop in is annoying. The gameplay is a mix between a third person shooter, and break **** with my huge hammer (I don't know what to call the gameplay so I'm calling it break **** with my huge hammer gameplay). There's a lot to do, but not enough for a second playthrough. I'd say if you can find it for like $15 dollars pick it up. If you can't don't bother. This is one of the few open world game where I don't know why it's so popular.… Expand

    Red Faction: Guerrilla is a fantastic, laudably fun tech demo funneled into a rather awesome game. Undoubtedly this year's most gratifying and original title so far. [Issue#46, p.76]

    No matter what mode you enter, Red Faction: Guerrilla delivers on its promise of destruction, and offers an experience unlike anything else out there.

    It’s outrageously awesome entertainment that forgoes taking itself too seriously to ensure you’re grinning ear-to-ear throughout, smiles gleefully lit up by the biggest explosion-fest in gaming history. And we have no problem with that, whatsoever.
