Description

Long since the revolt from the mining of Mars, a new group has taken over Red Faction, and their sights are set on the dictator, Chancellor Sopot. Sopot originally created the Red Faction soldiers using a form of nano technology but, fearing they would fight back, ordered them to be destroyed.

As the leader of the group, your task is to take back freedom that was lost, and save your skin as well as that of those who work with you.

As was originally designed in the first Red Faction, Geo-Mod builds the world around you as a means to destroy it. Using rockets, mines and the many other weapons available, you can take down walls, blast through doors (therefore deleting the need for a security key) and bring down enemies by destroying the floor that they stand on. Vehicles can also be used to help in your tasks.

Multiplayer modes are also included for up to 4 players, as well as a collection of bots. As a note, the PC version does not have multiplayer.

Screenshots

Red Faction II Windows Repta, your squad's heavy weapons guy, is truely the ultimate destructive force. With a heavy machinegun and almost perfect aim, he can easily decimate Sopot's soldiers without breaking a sweat

Red Faction II Windows The nano-augmented Nano Elite combine the incredible durability of Processed soldiers with the intelligence of human opponents, but for the moment your Battle Armor gives you a distinct advantage

Red Faction II Windows The extremely annoying Spider Bombs like to swarm you in large groups and blow up in your face, and a single blast can knock off more than half your health. Did I mention they respawn infinitely?

Red Faction II Windows Piloting a submarine against enemy subs. The game's underwater levels have a slight 'blurred' effect, giving objects a slight softened look

It must have taken great effort to make this game more disappointing than the first.	kbmb (435)	unrated

Trivia

German version

There are a number of changes in the German version:

All blood and gore effects were removed
Corpses disappear a few seconds faster
All weapons which allow to set enemies on fire were replaced with other weapons
A few cheats relating to blood and gore effects were removed

A detailed list of changes can be found on schnittberichte.com (German).

Signs

In the sewer levels there are signs that read...

DANGER
Why are you people so stupid? We have to put signs all over the place because if we don't you would walk off a cliff into a lava pit or something. What is up with that? Come to think of it, you won't read this sign anyway. So what's the point.

In the Citadel lever there are funny little subtitles beneath the signs on all the military buildings. I won't spoil the surprise so you will have to look for yourselves. Easy to find though.
