10 of 11 people found the following review helpful Old-School Alien Shoot-'em-up With a Good PC Port, By = Fun: Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Red Faction Armageddon (DVD-ROM) Ignore the Red Faction title of this game as it has very little to do with the average FPS from a decade ago or the open-world destruct-a-thon from a couple years ago. Red Faction: Armageddon is a straight-up alien blasting good time with great weapons and great environment destruction, end of story.Here's the rundown: Pros: + Fast-paced alien shooting that might remind you of older games like Quake 2 or Half-Life but with a third-person perspective. + Unique and fun to use weapons like a magnet gun that flings objects together (including enemies) and a plasma gun that charges up and then destroys entire areas with swirling gravity. + Impressive destruction where every building is able to be destroyed. While not a core gameplay elements like the last game this still adds a ton of weight and spectacle to every firefight. + Pretty passable story with some funny lines and interesting locations. Design is generally solid with...

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...

The first action in-game was astounding. The new destructive engine was tangible. Using the magnet gun to tear the building out from under enemies was a blast, which leads to the two major flaws, in my opinion: 1: 80% of the game (which is really only about 5 or 6 hours) is spent killing aliens. There were more than three kinds, but they basically fell into only three types: crawlers, jumpers, and "tanks". The enemy types got stale once you learned the best tactic - it became a methodical process of eliminating priorities... 2: Weapon - You could only equip four weapons, which is plenty, but I seriously don't think there are four USEFUL weapons...
