    Simply put alot of FUN ! Some minor issues, none of which affect the over all enjoyment of this game.

    Brilliant multiplayer, but all the things you buy Xbox games for (superior graphics and online play) are missing. Still, having 60 multiplayer maps, programmable bots, and a single-person storyline that is heavy on the action is nothing to complain about.

    Single Player: wasn't very long but overall gameplay was good needs harder levels though. Multiplayer: Needs a multiplayer co-operative but otherwise no probs.

    A symphony of destruction. Cool shooter with good single player and better multiplayer. Story and graphics are a bit trashy but the enormous arsenal of weapons and the action packed gameplay make amends. Pretty alright!

  1. Fans of the original will notice the drastically reduced "geo-mod" function—no more digging tunnels or indiscriminate destruction.

    With little here to massage the mind or engage the heart, Red Faction II becomes nothing more than a linear on-rails twitch-fest. [June-July 2003, p.92]
  3. A great game with surprisingly good controls for an FPS game that you play with a gamepad.
