If you cut Red Faction: Guerrilla a little slack it can be a lot of fun. It does try to take itself very seriously though, so I guess it makes sense to pick on all the little places where the realism fails or the gameplay doesn't match the title's suggestion that you'll be using guerrilla tactics.
Zero Punctuation: Red Faction Guerrilla

Well made points, however, the last point seems lacking...
In a game where the engine allows you to destroy near-everything, and this is one of the first games at let's you do such a thing, would your rather go sneaky sneaky snipe things, run in, set up mines, run off and detonate them? Or would you rather go rambo-norse god of death and watch everything burst into pretty explosions of hues of orange, blue, green, and purple?
I guess what I'm saying is you sound like you'd've been more happy with the game if it were called Red Faction: Mars (who's also the God of War making the title even more appropriate)
Also, the game is more sneaky-sneaky on higher difficulties. The threat level system and ways to drop it are almost the exact same as any GTA game.

Wow, did you miss the point. Here, let me sum it up:Aidoc said:
MORALE SYSTEM IS A BUZZ-KILLER.
Yes, I enjoy killing civilians and realize that blowing up buildings doesn't effect my morale, but the point is its a buzz-kill from all the carnage I would like to be causing. Saints Row 2 didn't have that problem. See, both games give you the option to just run around like a maniac an cause havoc and chaos. Saints Row 2 was just better at it. I was hoping that RFG would be BETTER than SR2, due to the advanced future weapons, and the fact it was the later game and they had the success of SR2 to work off of. But the fact is it wasn't as fun as SR2. THAT'S what ruined the game for me. GOT IT?
Mind you, it was still a good game, but I know it could have been so much better.
Ahhhh gotta love these. Thought the Saints Row part at the end was rather amusing, "that overly long wedding proposal disguised as a review" lol
Fantastic as per usual!

What? Dude... uhg, OK maybe it is unfair for me to pick on the small physics glitch but still Yahtzee is right. Besides, the demo told me enough about the game in general, I wouldn't enjoy it. I had high hopes for it but I never really liked the heavy Sci-Fi shooters like Halo or F.E.A.R or Resistence and Red Faction Gureilla is no different. Developers should create demos for every major title cause then it saves us money and in the long run we can then buy other games from them that we know we would love.Aidoc said:
Yahtzee will read out some hate mail? Or maybe he'll take the day off... Anyway, I was wondering when you'd review RD:G, I didn't think it felt at all like Saints row 2, the only noticeable similarity for me was a few crappy cameos.

Also, this is the 99th episode...next week what will happen?!?!?!??!?!TheOnceandFutureKing said:
Good review but it did some kinda short this week. Nothing bad about that except for the fact that he made fun of my people! *Points to his avatar*
So I guess the first Red Faction is what helped him turn into the semi bitter game reviewer that he is today.

seemed a little... short I dont know it just whizzed by but I generaly liked this review, can't wait for episode 100
I thought it was a bit short but maybe when your only positive reason to get outta bed ona wednesday is "OMFG NEW ZP TODAY YESSS!!" then all his new vid's seem a bit short lol04whim said:I enjoyed it, but did anyone else feel it was a bit short? or perhaps it's just sleep deprivation sending me nuts
actually I think it is just the sleep deprivation.
eitherway short or not loved it, love 'em all, Yahtzee will forever remain the king
Side note: Is is just me or does it seem you can go on any give ZP thread and theres always at lest 2 or 3 people getting banned/suspened/warnings?
weren't the last 2 zps rather short? I meen, can't he squeeze at least 5 minutes, I'm disappointed. It was funny and nice, but, common Yathzee, u used to do a decent job earlier, and now...
