Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
If you enjoy fast cars, boats, mobile assault battle-armour, big guns and a bit of property destruction on the side, Red Faction II is the game for you. Red Faction was one of the first and best first-person shooters on the PS2, and this eagerly awaited sequel improves on every aspect of it.

Set a few years after the first game but curiously failing to feature Parker, the hero from the original, Red Faction II casts you as Alias, a nanotech-enhanced soldier out to bring down the Soviet-style Commonwealth that has decided to blight the land in the way that evil dictatorships always seem to in video games.

The primary gimmick of the Red Faction games is the Geo-Mod (geometry modification) graphics engine, which allows you to destroy almost any wall, ceiling and floor in order to proceed or simply to just have a bit of a laugh. The biggest problem with the first game was its terrible loading times, which really interrupted the flow of the game, but that's been sorted out for this sequel, which also includes improvements to the previously Spartan multiplayer modes.

As you'd expect there are also lots of new vehicles to drive--including a very natty robotic power suit--plus tons more weapons and even a new Halo-style shield system. Admittedly none of this is terribly original, and the frame rate can stutter on occasion, but it's still lots of fun for red-blooded men and women. --David Jenkins

Official PlayStation 2 Magazine
"FPS fans are sure to delight in the visceral entertainment provided by the Geo-Mod system. 8/10."

3.0 out of 5 stars Nearly a hit, but not quite there., 18 Nov 2002

By	T. Russell "i_are_monkey" (England) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

For a long time now, gamers have been blessed with amazing FPS titles such as Half-life and Time splitters, but have always been restriced with the lingering thought of blasting through that chosen wall to get to a secret area rather than taking the door. Not long ago, Red faction gave gamers this chance, destroying scenery around you within the game, using the revolutionary geo-mod technology. Whilst being a long enjoyable experience, the game suffered in the areas of graphics and multiplayer options. On the whole i thought that my well earned �40 had gone to good use.
Well its a few years on and we now have the sequel to one of the best selling PS2 titles today on our hands. To put it in short, Red Faction 2 is blinding, yet at the same time dissapointing.
You enter the role of Alias, a nano augmented warrior with inhuman capabilites. Alias is the demilitions expert within a elite team of other nano super people fighting along side the Red Faction.
The first few levels are goregeous in design, and highly enjoyable along with ear defening explotions brilliantly designed weapons and much improved AI. Unfortunatly, its came to a mere 4 hours until i find myself on the second from last level, shooting a ton of lead at annoying and unitelligent zombies time after time with boiling levels of frustration than enjoyment. Before i knew it, the game was over, fini, kaput, and i ended up hurling objects around the room in a blind rage. As soon you realise the shortness of the game, you hate to think what else you could have bought your money on than someting you could complete in 5 hours. Its just too damn short. Within that time i recall sucessfully shooting through a breakable wall few times - the geo-mod has not been used to its full use, but we were promised it would have to be used to continue in a level.
However much i moan at the geo-mod emptiness, The graphics lighten up my experience, having been significantly improved, showing off complex, colurful, beautiful scenery and interiors.
Im not going to slate RF2 for its length completly, though the single player has its high points, the real star of the show is the Multiplayer.
Suped up and highly configurable (changing things like induvidual bot config, weapons, and a ton of game types), the multiplayer just is too good to miss. Shooting freinds in a state of wild rage has never been so much fun.
On the whole, RF2 is highly addictive (until the robot zombies) and achives gold stars in graphics, sound and multiplayer, but all gets dragged down with the sheer poor length of the game and the enemies you come across. (i understand some players may enjoy shooting zombies who do nothing but shoot at you, but this is entirely my opinion) I just feel that all the good things of RF2 have been put to waste because of the premature length. If i had a second chance i would wait until it came down in price first.

4.0 out of 5 stars Red Faction 2, the great sequel, 1 Sep 2002

By A Customer

Red Faction 2 provides much more than the original, it offers a 4 player deathmatch, unlike the original with a two player deathmatch, the option to use USB Keyboard and mouse for those, "The PC controls are the best in the world," freaks. An advanced GEO MOD technology(the thing that lets you blow up the surroundings)allowing you to blow up practically the entire enviroment around you, real time weather has been introduced, to increase the enjoyment of this game. The GEO MOD technology allows you tactifully destroy the enviroment to sneak round an enemy of create cover for yourself, or destroy part of a bridge to make a ramp for yourself to get up. You are not the only person to rebel, you also have 5 teammates with you (who you do not control)each have their own special abilities to get passed certain areas in the game, they also provide you with helpful information if you get stuck during play. The developers have granted you the access to fire two weapons at once, inlike the original, another improvement is the better targetting system so the aiming isn't as frustating as,"A bit up, no not the ceiling, the head! A bit down, no, not the floor!" This game has been improved in all the right places for an extremely good game, buy this game when you get the chance!

5.0 out of 5 stars amazing game, really, 3 Dec 2004

By	George Cook "omega_cow" (Candy Land) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

i just wanna start by saying i played this game long enough to get 11000 kills and counting, which really shows how much replay value there is. and now its on platinum!
where to start? the levels and enemies are perfectly designed for a varying difficulty level and a enjoyable experience: the geo-mod feature (thats destroying the scenery for those of you who didnt already know) lets you blow walls out and collapse towers on top of enemies! the weapons are also cleverly created: you get the usual stuff like machine guns and the like, but then an 'anti-personnel' explosive gun and a railgun to shoot thru walls! awesome
as well as the single player missions, you get botmatches, which stand out from deathmatches in most other games because you can create your own bots and upgrade their stats - another good idea that increases replay value further.
yes, the single player may be a bit short as other reviewers have said, but you play through it several times anyway: its all explosive action with not a single boring bit.
the only complaint i really have is that while the developers claim to have improved the geo-mod, you can actually blow up less stuff than before, but this is hardly noticeable.
overall, a revolutionary game full of fresh ideas that make it better than the other 5 billion shooter games.
