Preview 02: Red Faction Guerilla

 

Yay! It is time for my second preview of the night. You know what that means right? I hope so cause I have no idea. Well Tonights second topic is Red Faction Guerilla.

 

Where to start, Basicly I have one thing to say about this game that everyone will understand: GTA ON MARS! That is basicly what this game is. The game puts you as some guy who I have no idea about, I think he is a mercanary or something. Anyone plot forgiving the game is AMAZING. The build I have is one mission. Now with one mission being there I had over 2 hours of intense AWESOMENESS.

 

The game is very open ended in every sense of the word. I played the same mission 4 times and did it differant every time. The first time I played it I went destrying every thing in my path, second a little more strategic ect. You can use a variety of weapons and vehicles. You even get to play with a giant virtually indestructable mech.

 

One of the cool features of the game is trust. If you destroy the property of the miners (the people who hired you) you lose there trust, lose enough, they turn on you. In that sense it is up to you how you want to play aswell. The missions get assigned to you as you go I would assume. I only got to play one so do not quote me. You can collect many things along the way. These are called salvage. When you blow something up you walk over the blown up pieces and in a very video gamey way, collect scrap. I am not sure what you do with it, but it will come into use somehow.

 

There was one driving sequence that was linear as you were on a truck turret and could not move, but other than that the game was very open ended. Just looking into the horizon you can see how much room there is. At the end of the mission it showed a huge map. This shows much promise.

 

You can count on one thing. Come June. I will be adding this game to my collection. Will you?
