It's not that great, but not as bad as some people are saying in my opinion. Overall it's meh... It had some funny moments so I guess that counts for something. I enjoyed Red Faction 1 WAYYYY more though. This game felt very cartooney especially when compared to the other games in the series. I wouldn't get this unless it's in a bundle.
7/10
It makes you think, how little effort was put into this? I don't care about the graphics, which are much worse than in the original, since I saw the screenshots before I bought it. But the cartoony visual style is not helped by the very uninspiring gameplay - weak guns, phoned-in level design, the world's worst ever boss fights, a poor save system, a shockingly bad story that promises very little for the next games, and a frankly embarrassing ending that mistakes TV-style exposition for a proper narrative conclusion. If you can find it for under a pound then you may have limited fun with this mindless shootout, but otherwise Red Faction II is wholly unnecessary.
hard to decide if this or armageddon is the worst installment of the red faction series.
are evenly numbered red faction games cursed?
good
I dont get the negative reviews, Even with its age it still had a great story and the little kid in me still loves bot death matches on the like 50 maps they included. I never understood the other red faction games but red faction 2 is a 10/10. Best $2 ive spent in as long time.
Kinda boring PS2 FPS with little of the series' enviromental destructibility.
For starters, the game was locked at 50 FPS until I enabled Nvidia Low Latency Boost, and even then the night vision would tank the framerate into the 30s. Good thing it's not used much.
As for the gameplay, you go through linear levels, each one split into different sections. If you die, you go back at the start of the section you're currently in.
There are also a couple turret sections and moments were you get to pilot a battle armor with dual gatlings, a rocket launcher and incendiary grenades. The last one is kinda cool.
Levels are also much less destructible compared to its predecessor, which is a massive step back.
To be honest, I got stuck for a bit in one section because I didn't realize I had to shoot a couple of explosive barrels to open an hole in a building in order to proceed. Stupid me for thinking I could blow up something else to go forward, like the other side of the building.
The arsenal is okay, but I think the reload time of every weapon is too slow, which especially hurts low ammo guns like the shotgun.
A quick mention about the health system: you got a life bar and can carry up to 3 medkits. If your life reaches zero, a medikit is automatically used to fully restore it. If you're damaged but don't take damage for a while, health regenerates automatically.
Last, but not least, are the bosses. There are only 4 of them, but they're very spongy and a massive pain to fight:
- The first one stands on a small elevated area and will attack you with her railgun, which can take away either half or one entire lifebar. She's also supported by ground enemies and other snipers with railguns;
- The second one fires 5 grenades with one shot (again, half to all health gone) and will immediately attack you once his cutscene is over, taking away a ton of health if you don't move asap. He runs around the arena and the enviroment makes it hard to find him due to the noise and lighting shooting some areas. This hurts you, by the way.
A terrible slog of a boss;
- The third one is the easiest of the bunch. You fight the first half in a battle armor, while the second half is a much easier version of the previous boss, minus the multiple grenades;
- The last one is the final boss, and boy it's a doozy! He starts in a battle armor and the game leaves you in front of it once the cutscene ends. The arena is a circle with only a wall in the middle that the boss will happily tear down. There's only one medikit, and it's close to the wall along some ammo.
Once you've blown up the armor, the boss fights on foot with a goddamn railgun. Pray the gods you have enough medkits and luck to survive it, because you'll have to fight the armor again otherwise!
Oh, there's also a simple karma system: killing civilians and allies is bad, completing extra objectives (which the game doesn't tell you about until you've done them) is good.
That's it, pretty boring and forgettable. Any other Red Faction game is better than this one, so skip it.
Classic console style shooter with lots of guns and some cool environmental destruction gimmick.
Recommend to play with a controller. Very much a product of it's time, but as an early 2000s shooter, it's actually pretty decent.
Frustrating and boring crap compared to the first one.
It's a drastic downgrade from the first one, only play it if you wanna know how it plays like, the plot is bad, the gameplay is bad, the level design is bad, the vehicle sections are either pretty bad or just some stupid rail shooter levels and to top it of, the destruction has been tuned down to being merely a gimmick.
This is by far the worst game in the series, I don't think it has much redeeming qualities...
The only reasons to play this game is if you're a completionisit, a curious minded individual, are trying to do some kind of retrospective on the franchise or if you're some sort of masochist...
Its a good nostalgic shooting gallery. A cartoonishly absurd story with lots of abominations to shoot.
I wish I hadn't bought this. The gunplay sucks. The graphics are horrible, even for the time. The enemies suck and endlessly spawn. The environment destruction barely exists in the single-player and nobody wants to play the multiplayer. The story is not fun or engaging. I didn't finish it, this is worse than Serious Sam 2, which I hated.
Unlike (Red Faction I) this one is hard to justify for 10$ I completed it within 80 minutes and i was not even trying to speed run, its extremely short, the story is OK i guess and the gun-play is nice, but the AI is a joke they can be extremely bad or straight up halo 2 legendary levels of BS. There is no consistency in the levels and you frequently think how TF? did i get here and how do get over there and is buggy, not do the game its more do to not being updated and having problems with modern hardware and the bugs are more or less game breaking (mostly soft-lock bugs). I would not recommend it at its price but if its on sale or part of the full franchise bundle then its fine to get like i did, if your planning on doing a full run of the franchise then yes get it when on sale, personally bugs even game breaking one don't bug me much and i have low expectations so i personally like the game but for others i can not recommend.
Played it on hard and gameplay wise most of the game is a boring cakewalk outside of the very start and the final boss, Completely throws away the explosives aspect of the last game with you only exploding a few walls that already have holes in them so you can progress the game. On the rail and vehicle sections that are so easy and slow they could put you to sleep. With all that said though most of the guns in the game are somewhat satisfying and the characters and some of the levels have some charm with some funny enemy voice lines.
Overall one of the most generic video games of all time which is sad because the first game holds up even now, it is clear that some of the people who made this game put some passion into it with some nice designs and decent tracks which makes it sad to say. 4/10 BORING, ONE OF THE WORST FINAL BOSSES EVER
Edit: I forgot to mention that this games story has almost nothing to do with Red Faction 1 other then the Red Faction™ doing yet another uprising against some dictator we dont really know anything about
The game starts out looking rough, but once the player gets immersed, its actually pretty fun.
.
Very disappointing compared to the first game. Story is much much worse, controls and mechanics are worse, the weapons (both what they do and how long it takes to unlock anything you actually want to use) are worse, even the graphics seem worse. Also, they "fixed" the lack of checkpoints/autosaving in the first RF game (which had manual saving only) by instead only having checkpoints, no manual saves at all, which just feels much much worse. There are lots of unskippable cutscenes throughout, and they typically play right after checkpoints, so you have to sit through them repeatedly if the next part is particularly lethal; this is very annoying. This game also seems to be shorter than the first one. Lastly, there are several in the middle of the action parts where someone starts talking to you via radio, and you often can't make out anything they're saying because it's in the middle of the action, and there's no message log you can check to see everything that's been said like the first game had.
I dont care what anyone says, this game is my childhood
This is a time killer when i am bored
