Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Loved Red Faction Guerilla although it still left something to be desired on a game play level. The vehicles were clumsy, but driving around from mission to mission while tedious did give a sense of pleasure. Destroying sectors and bases was a lot of fun, and really the meat and potatoes of the game. Well with RF Armageddon it's a whole new can of worms. The game play is more linear and you just basically follow the instructions you are given to complete your objectives. Sounds boring right? Wrong. It's nice to have a sense of directions and while i loved the last game, along with games like Just Cause 2 and Assassins Creed 2, having all free roam territory isn't always the funnest way to play. No disrespect to those titles, but it's nice just to have an objective, go to it, complete it and move on, without running around all over the place. I rate this with Resident Evil 4,5, Dead Space 1, 2, and even Mass Effect, it's a great platformer. The thing that sets this game apart is the sheer brilliance of the psychics and the ability to destroy and repair nearly everything in the game. Speaking of the repair feature, after destroying platforms, crates, walls and everything else around you, you can use your repair tool(i forgot the name of it) to rebuild these things back to the original condition. Which comes in handy if you need to backtrack or hide from enemies that have destroyed your hiding places. Very clever. Also destroying platforms, or blocking a path to avoid being followed is brilliant as well. No other game out there can claim this unique feature.
Graphically, for PC that is, it depends on your specs. I have an Acer M5800, with an ATI Radeon 4850 1 gig of DDR3 RAM, 8 gigs of memory, and a Core 2 Quad Q9400 processor. I had no problems running the game at full 1080p, only on a few parts was is laggy, but i think it was just a bug or glitch in the game. Nothing a simple update can't fix, which is always the case with PC games. Surprisingly thus far the game is smooth and bug free. So graphics wise it looks great, and just as good as anything out there, which to me is fine. I don't really know what people consider GREAT graphics these days, but this one is on the cartoonish side, in the vein of say Infamous 2 or something along those lines. Texture do stand out as realistic, and THQ is a great company for high end graphics, so i guess this gets an 8 out of 10. No need to describe the gameplay, since i really already did, it's smooth, and moving with the mouse and keyboard is very in sync. Aiming also is spot on. So if you wanta great game that probably will take you i would say around 13 hours or so to complete, and has more features to offer other than the main game. Then this is for you. I'm no where near done but i have heard that's about the time it takes to complete. Which is great. So enjoy some good old destructive fun, and don't worry about all the hype of some more popular titles. I'll take this any day over many of the more recent releases. And this i consider one of the best. Now i'm waiting for Duke Nukem Forever and Alice:Return To Madness(M Rated) so should be good.
