    The single player is ok. It is in the multiplayer that this game shines. Good arena layouts and interesting weapons.

    Not as good as the first game, but a lot of fun. If "Red Faction" was modeled after "Half Life", then this sequel is a "Halo 2" clone. It's a fast-paced shooter with plenty of destructible environments. If you liked the "Timesplitters" franchise, then this will appeal to you. I would rate it with an 8 out of 10.

    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]

    A great game with surprisingly good controls for an FPS game that you play with a gamepad.
