People are shooting at you you run them over. There are cars in the air, as they launch themselves into and through the other pileups that are happening as you have missed the tower and have to reverse and have another go. Imagine that, but then imagine again twenty or so armoured vehicles all chasing yours, as you swerve through the red desert, trying to smash into communication towers. Pleasantly, this had no effect on my final score. Indeed, I completed many an objective by driving a tank into the Red Faction safehouse, realising I had not given myself enough time to apply the brakes, and then plowing through the whole thing. I should probably mention here that driving in this game provides its own set of challenges (on the PC, anyway), and it is not uncommon to find yourself swerving wildly all over the place, reversing into citizens, and smashing into delicate-looking little commuter cars willy-nilly. My task was to hop in an armoured vehicle and drive around, taking out communications towers (by driving into them) and generally causing havoc, in order to draw the EDF’s attention away from the Red Faction convoy. Case in point: after I had successfully managed to get the EDF to pull out of the starting zone, called Parker, I was given one last task: to distract the EDF while the group made their way into a new zone, called Dust. Where Red Faction: Guerrilla really comes into its own is with its maniacal approach to action. But hey, you’re not here to look at the view. Still, there is enough variety in the weaponry and vehicles to keep them interesting, even if everyone dresses alike and even the safehouses look like they are made from the same kitsets. Look and feel-wise, well, this isn’t a ‘pretty’ game. That’s the entirety of things you’re likely to carry in your inventory, aside from weapons, ammo, and armour.
You can use salvage to upgrade weapons and armour.
Other activities include working on your demolition skills, rescuing hostages, stopping convoys, and loads of other variants on the David vs Goliath theme.Īs you destroy buildings and other items you’ll often find bits of useful scraps of material lying around – or salvage. If morale is high enough, the locals will take up arms and help you in your battles. Tasks such as raiding EDF locations, and destroying property also help to raise morale.
