This game awstruck me when i got it. I immeadiately went to the multiplayer option and i was surprised, never had I seen such an amazing multiplayer game. I soon found out the capabilities of this game. There are different scenarios such as bagman (who can hold the briefcase the longest), capture the flag, and deathmatch. The different types of guns assure that you'll have a favorite, very soon. If you shoot someone with a machine gun, it causes them to actually look like they are hurting where you shot them. You also can cause them to explode into many tiny pieces!!!!You can also catch them on fire.The best thing is that you get titles according to the amount of kills you have, such as Killing Spree and Butcher.
In single player, you can do many of the the same things as multiplayer and you can even pilot vehicles!
I found it amazing and i'm sure you will too.
P.S. THIS GAME IS NOT FOR THE FIENT OF HEART!!!

Original Version is Way Better-This is a rental

This is a wonderful shooter game, but lame in comparison to the original game. Red Faction 1 is far more strategic, and a longer, more involved game. RF2 you can blow through in a few hours. It has so many weapons, its hard to cycle through them-
I felt it slowed down gameplay. RF2 feels more like an arcade
game, rent it at Blockbuster.

This game is underated

I dont have much to say except that this game was great. The multiplayer was awesome, if you get a multitap for your ps2 you and three of your friends can sit down and play forever. The only things i did not like about the game was that there were no cooperative missions and it wasnt as long as I hoped. But overall it was a great game with great graphics

Good Fun...

I bought a PS2 a week ago, and got Red Faction II as a free game included with the system.

Red Faction II is really fun most of the times. The detail is extremely real, and the gameplay was excellent.

However, the game is really confusing. There are more plot twists than a pretzel, and half the time, you have no idea what is going on except that you should shoot down the cyborgs.

Splattering the blood out of innocent bystanders in a game is fun, and this has plenty. But if you're like me, stick to GTA 3 and GTA Vice City.

Red Faction II is fun...

Great Game

Ok i read most of the other reviews i it looks like to me that no one knows what they want. some think its bad that you can blow threw every thing, then others think its the best. i love this game even though its a bit short. If the game play in 1 player was longer it would be a five. The multi player is so addictive it not right.

Overall Great Game

Red Faction 2 is the "Halo" of playstation, with an assortment of weapons, almost everyone of them with alternative firing modes. The gameplay handles pretty well, and the sound and graphics live up to expectation. This game could have been a bit longer though, and should have had a 2 player mission mode like Halo. The multiplayer mode really shines, with an array of environments/stages, tough enemies and lots of firepower. For Red Faction 3, THQ should give the player control of the hovercraft and tank, instead of just being the gunner. GeoMod in the game's engine is fantastic and gives the game more realism. One and a Half thumbs up!!!!!

A good game for any Doom fan out there

I played this on my friends XBOX, and I loved it. Of course I am a HUGE Doom fan, so me playing this until three in the morning, I had no problem with it. Of course you have friends in this game, but the story goes like this.
You and your friends take on a mission to take down the Red Faction (sort of like a Soviet Republic regime.) and once you take them down, then you and your friends come back, and THEY TURN ON YOU! So now you are on your own, and now you are now on the hunt to kill them.
Sound interesting? I thought it would. Of course some of the levels are too easy in the beginning, but once you get deeper in the game, you are dealing with snipers, zombies, and other ho-ha.
It is very exciting once you get deep into the game, it is going to take some time, but it is totally worth it in the end. Of course I am already saving up some money so I can get the orginial Red Faction, and Red Faction 2 on the PC, but I have my bets that I am going to finish up these two games before I know it.

All about the multiplayer

this red faction essentially switches places with the first red faction. The first one had a great storyline and one player mode but its multiplayer lacked in levels, options, and only supported two players. The second is completely vice versa. Its stroy has noting to do with the first and it becomes laborous at times to get through it. But dont let that deter you from this game. The multiplayer is the best fps ive played on the ps2 and with so many options its hard to go wrong. 4 player with 2 bots is ideal and with the ability to level up bots to the point where they are insanely good provides quite a challenge. Overall i'd say this is a must buy for the multiplayer and you wont be disappointed but if your just going to play the campaign mode go ahead and skip it.

Fun Action Game

The computer sometimes cheats a little, but it is a fun game, especially with multiple players.

If you are a fan of Red Faction then you may be a bit dissapointed. First off, few levels actually require any strategy, follow the obvious path and kill all the enemies. Second, there is no disguising or hiding bodies or talking to people. Destructable objects? This is a joke compared to the original. You can no longer "create your own door". The game only lets you destroy things to pass a scenario or somthing so miniscule that it is not really fun to destroy. There is also barely any reference to the first game. Parker is not even mentioned in this game. The graphics, nothing special.
Positives: Sometimes you will pair up with a squad member who is invincible. So in this case it is best to just to take cover while they kill all the enemies. The AI is also better. The graphics are better, also. There are also some veichles that you can control. Unfortunantly though, half of the vehicles that you ride in you can only control the guns. There are now more weapons and you can hold a weapon in one hand and throw a grenade with the other. There is also the ability to hold two of the same guns at once. There is again a multiplayer, but it has some new levels and several new game modes. There is also at least one level in multiplayer that is the same as one of the original's multiplayer levels. It is a good game for shooter fans if it is 20 or 30 dollars.
