When you live in world where everything is constructed of Styrofoam and Triscuits! Excellent review that I agreed with completely.
Yahtzee takes a long look at the past on his wedding day. He looks so pretty in his nice dress.
I am quite surprised. I mean does anyone else feel like he really got revenge against Red Faction? Becuase I sure don't.
Oh well. I guess I can wait for whatever he got's planned for next week.

Boy this was a tough review to watch, considering Yahtzee was wrong coming out of the gate. Red Faction 1 was a fantastic game ON THE PC. Why would you even bother rating an old FPS on a console when it had a counterpart on the PC? That just seems stupid. Yahtzee of all people should know better.
Just like there's no reason for me to go out and buy Red Faction: Guerrilla right now when I know full well a PC version is coming out soon.

why didnt you give a damn at his first review? THATS A MORE SIGNIFICANT FIGURE DAMN YOUTriforceformer said:
Well... The Escapist belived that the number 4 was worth a damn. I guess they expected to be bankrupt by now.Triforceformer said:
Good review, but I disagree with what he said at the end with how it might have succeded as an actual guerrila simulator (instead of chimpanzee, ho ho). Forcing guerilla style warfare would have just made the already restrained destruction more restrained by denying you the chance to go crazy with explosives (I'm going on Yahtzee's word though, the destruction in the demo seemed pretty limitless to me). And if they just removed the destruction, they'd be removing the only unique thing about the game.

Well I'm not a big shooter fan and didn't play the original (though I have this one) so I can't comment. Seems to be a game people have strong feelings about, however consider that the game has TWO sequels now, so honestly a goodly number of people might have liked it.
As a side note:
David Bowie did a song called "Green Spiders From Mars". I thought Yahtzee's last text comment about wanting to for mars, but hearing about all the giant spiders up there, was a lot funnier than the Gueriella/Chimpanzee pun. But I guess it's a bit too dated, you sort of had to be listening to David Bowie's music about the time he played "The Goblin King" in Labyrinth.

I think you mean Dalek
Do some searches on "Doctor Who" and you will find more information on them than any sane person would want to know.
Me too. It was, in my opinion, one of the most unique games of it's time, and the geomod was unheard of until that game. They did a lot of fun things with it too, like destroying a bridge, sending an APC spiraling down into the abyss, going around locked doors with big mining machinery, discovering supplies hidden in closed off caves, and everyone's favorite: making tunnels and pits in multiplayer. The story got a little convoluted at times, but the settings were varied enough to keep me interested, multiplayer was fast and frantic, and it was also one of the few games to add in bot mode, unlike several big name shooters I can think of. The only thing that grew tiring for me was the Ultor security guards' dialogue. "Die miner! Don't hurt me! WAAAUUGH!"PiCroft said:
Hmmm, well as I've said twice now I thought it was a referance to a David Bowie song. BUT then again part of the point is that it can refer to a number of things hence why he keeps hearing about them.Archaon6044 said:
Still, given that I do remember when David Bowie was popular, but was too old to see much of "Biker Mice From Mars" it probably explains why I would think of Dave before more recent referances.
I feel old.
The game is fun, destroying buildings is really fun, i thought the story drags out too long, i just wanted to shood down the evil spaceship hydra or whatever its called but nooooooo. go to more missions before the maudrauders help you. cool game though
Despite some scepticism, I started going down the list of possible fixes. Turns out the version of Flash Player I installed (less than a month ago - I reinstalled my whole OS less than a month ago), was out of date.Virgil said:
So it was nothing on your guys end.
Anyways, on topic: Great review. I however LOVED Red Faction 1, and totally hated 2. But 3 definitely feels like it'll be forgotten in a month or two...
Great review but he missed very huge parts of the game, like maybe the multiplayer. to me the multiplayer balances out the downfall of the single player. also wheres the rant about the uslessness of the wrecking crew variant of the game.
