First of all, any game with a railgun is always going to be amazing. Though, I would say the best part of Red Faction was the ability to destroy the environment completely. I used to rocket-launch the shit out of rock bridges just as my adversary was crossing them. Needless to say the rocket didn't kill them, instead it was the long plunge into oblivion. I was in love with rocket-launching the shit out of everything. There was also C-4 which was sweet cause you could stick it on people and blow the crap out of them.
My favorite guilty pleasure in that game would be to get the rocket launcher and railgun. I would find a secluded place on the map and use the rocket-launcher to burrow my way into a wall(and youd be surprised how far you could go). Id then take my railgun and just sit there and kill everybody- without fear of retaliation cause I forgot to mention the proximity mines i'd put in the tunnel.
Red Faction wasted a lot of my time while I had a PS2.
For a little of my love for this game, read: My #5 Videogame Moment of Allllllllll Time.
ReplyDeleteProps to the single player campaign, which was actually probably the main draw of this title (outside of the ability to destroy your environment). It seemed very Half-Life-influenced, in its length, presentation, and setting. But that's why it's so good, since Half-Life (either one) has the best single-player campaign of any shooter I've ever played.
I still have this game if you want to play it sometime.
i do want to play it. very much so
ReplyDeleteAlso MAD PROPS to this game for have computer bots that you can play with. Did no other games learn from Perfect Dark other than this one?
ReplyDeleteWe all know no one gives a fuck about bots other than us. Why would you, when you could play mad-competitive against your friends and simulate the release of testosterone of professional sports?! yyaarrggghhh, sheeit, that's all you had to say, NEGRO.
ReplyDeleteAlso mad props for having a Nuclear Holocaust Machine.
