Red Faction-Whats the score?

**sojourner** · 03-30-2003

Whats the impressions of this one? I've only played a bit of the first level and Ill reserve judgement till later. Wht do you think?

**Variation-XBA** · 03-31-2003

Wasn't impressed at all about anything of the other versions. Graphics were dull/dark, sound was bleh....wasnt fond of the controlls either..

I played it for PS2 and all i can say is it's a good FPS. Personally i liked the single player better than Timesplitters2. Blowing apart walls in multi is kinda cool.

no geo-mod in multiplayer = sucky game.

**LongBow** · 04-01-2003

I didnt like it at all on PS2. RF1 one was a lot better imo.

Are you sure there is no geo-mod in multiplayer? I'm just asking. I honestly want to know. I read an interview on TXB and they didn't mention it in multiplayer one way or the other.

You know how you can dig tunnels and stuff in rf1? cant do it in rf2. Only certain walls can be blown up...and it's EXTREMELY limited.

I'm gonna post a review soon, but I'm kinda plowing through it pretty fast. Not terribly challenging.............it's kinda Halo Lite wanna-be.

Having some friends over to try out multi-player, then will give it the official once over.

**studepaber** · 04-05-2003

I mainly agree with Variation's post, sort of a bland mediocre FPS if you ask me. Had friends over last night to play it multiplayer and we played one game, we were like, 'meh' so we played Halo instead. Traded the game in today for Super Puzzle Fighter for the GBA.

Played the game right through and it turned out not the best. I would like to add that this game would have been a goodie on live but alas it falls short because of this. Verdict 6/10. Btw it does use geomod on multiplayer and the weapons are very good.

But can you dig tunnels and blow up ANY wall? Nope.

**sojourner** · 04-07-2003

Yes you can blow up walls and floors in multi, I dont think digging tunnels is a great miss out, lets face it theres only so much the xbox can handle in reality.

Yea but the PS2 handled it with RF1, surely the Xbox could've handled it

**sojourner** · 04-07-2003

Im talking content here, you couldnt play 4 player on rf1 not to mention other additions, more detail on enemies etc this all uses up different aspects of he game e.g. processor, memory, how much ai etc.

...what? Blowing up walls means that makes a chunk in the wall...and blowing up that chunk makes a deeper chunk, which eventually leads to a tunnel...there are certain arens that you can destroy, but it's EXTREMELY limited, almost non-existent on several maps, which was the best thing about RF1, the completely destructive environments.

**sojourner** · 04-08-2003

If digging tunnels is so important then become a miner!

In the computer version, there are downloadable maps. Me and my friend downloaded one that had this extremely tall building. We took out all the walls around the bottom floor and the entire building collapsed. That was the best thing about RF1

**EHWfedPres** · 04-11-2003

For anyone who has RF2 for the xbox, is the CTF map Checkmate included?

**Reclaimer** · 04-20-2003

I have the game and I like it. I talked about it in the 3rd person shooter forum. But the reason I responded here was to say that so far, there is no multiplayer level called Checkmate. There are a ton of levels, probably more than I have ever seen in a FPS mulitplayer game. But Checkmate doesn't ring a bell. There are quite a few levels I have yet to unlock though, so there might be a chance. I have unlocked a few more but have not seen it. If I do stumble across it, I will let you guys know.
