Red Faction: Guerrilla

Holy crap its been a long time since I posted!:P

Anyways good to be back and since I've been gone we have had two E3 conferences jeez I missed alot!

I've been having a look at the new Red Faction and I have to say it really is worth all the buzz, someone recently said "too much like Halo" I've seen no similarities....well they both have weapons but that's as close as it gets.

The amazing thing about the game is the fact that the writers seem to believe in more for less, the dialogue is simple and effective, it is easy to follow from the get go but some people will probably hate it because of the simplicity of the dialogue they prefer a harder to understand game that confuses everyone but shows writers made an effort.

I feel the writers of this game made a huge effort to make all the dialogue simple and it shows.

Gameplay is amazing, I really got into smashing things with a sledgehammer and in ways I think Red Faction 2 was under rated and outshined because of Halo and now that Red Faction: Guerrilla was released at a different time in the year people get to focus on it and get to see the fun of the franchise.

The plot focuses on Alec Mason a miner who travels from Earth to work on Mars with his brother, everyone on Mars looks the same with their shaven heads. His brother is killed not too long into the game and Alec doesn't seem to seek revenge he just likes to hit things with his sledgehammer.

The game has a million and one references to the old Red Faction series that you only notice if you've played the game.

All in all this game deserves a well rounded 9/10 for all fun and easy dialogue
Its truly a less is more game.
