Forums - Gaming - Red Faction Guerrilla a sleeper title?

Red Faction Guerrilla got like NO buzz, and I don't recall being on too many want lists of people.  It has gotten very good reviews also.  I also had to play it, and have had a LOT of fun with it.  I give it a big thumb's up.  It is a sandbox game with carnage and consequences.  It is what I want, and the destruction of buildings is fun.  It has elements that remind you it is a game (the mini-game destruction stuff), but other than that, for me, it feels like I am on an oppressive mining planet.  Well, it reminds me a bit of a longer version of Gun, but with a sci-fi world instead of a western, and it works.  It grabbed me the way the likes of Far Cry 2 failed to, eventhough I would consider both games similar.  Maybe the destruction of buildings makes the difference.

However, it does appear to be flying under the radar now still, and maybe it breaks a million sold.  Anyhow, anyone here want to comment on the game?  I have enjoyed it, and like a game where the mayhem isn't done just because you are an angry psychopath.

 



Around the Network

Im on the opposite side of things. I loved Red Faction 1. Sequel kinda sucked ...

But I was very hyped for this next gen sequel. Game was a sleeper title in a way as it put me to sleep...

Especially comparing it to the balls out sandbox of prototype I thought Red Faction Guerilla was too boring.

Keep in mind that sandbox games and me don't get along. I have an hour or so of free time to play games every day and hate when game makes me play boring side missions to unlock good missions.



Love the game. The descruction and singleplayer missions are good. BUt what i really like is all the fun multiplayer modes. Cant get enough of them. Really underrated game imho.



2 reasons for 360 sales.

Cheap arcade version, wich the mom buys for the kids.

And microsoft's wallet.

I got it but not that keen on it tbh, multiplayer is funny though in short bursts!



I've heard very good things about it, but I'm not too sure if I'll go and buy it just yet.

And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,

To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."
