Red Faction II

RF2
Moby ID: 8896
Xbox version
Old-school First Person Shooter
The Good
As soon as you start blowing chunks out of the scenery with a rocket propelled grenade gun you tell yourself "one day all games will be made this way". The infamous "Geo Mod" engine really is quite remarkable and genuinely adds to the gameplay. I almost wish more had been made of it. Nice bonus missions also.
The Bad
Nothing really new otherwise. Locations tend to be bland and I was left wishing for a few more imaginative elements.
The Bottom Line
An old-fashioned, straight laced, FPS. Fun while it lasts.
