     Only in Red Faction Guerrilla.
     Only in Red Faction Guerrilla.
    When you think of online shooters, the first thing that would most likely come to your head would be games like Call of Duty or Halo. But for me, that's not what I think. And this isn't because I hate any of those franchises, it's because I think that this one game, maybe you've heard of it or maybe your read it on the blog title, Red Faction Guerrilla, is better than Halo or COD. Why? It's fun. I have had more fun playing Red Faction online that I have had with COD or Halo or any multiplayer game for that matter. 
     
     It's an easy game to pick up and play. The controls are pretty easy to get used to, much like other games. But I think where Red Faction stands out is the weapons and the amazingly satisfying environmental destruction. Tell me, where else can you kill someone by destroying a building above them? Or getting a jet pack that'll plow through your enemies, causing them to shoot several feet in the air? Red Faction Guerrilla is so fucking crazy and awesome and that's why I love it so. And because of it's craziness, it's still fun even if you lose, because you're witnessing all of this crazy shit happening at the same time. Isn't that what all online shooters are supposed to feel like? And hey, people are still playing it! Or, at least, the PS3 version. You can get it for pretty cheap now, and I highly recommend it if you're looking for a multiplayer game to play.

    Red Faction Guerilla is a good game, but definitely not better than CoD or Halo.

    Red Faction as a franchise is completely underrated.

    I haven't played a Halo game in a while, but in my opinion, I think it is better.

    I wonder if it's too soon to call this a cult classic?

    The multiplayer is great I spent quite a lot of time there cant remember what level I got to though. When Bungie announced Armour abilities for Reach all I could think was that they ripped them off from Guerrilla which is fine since Guerrilla basically ripped the matchmaking straight from Halo. 
     
    Overall Guerrilla is underrated its a very good game, that is a technical marvel for running on consoles.

    I assume you'll want to know that the game is £8 (GAME used) or $16.39 (Overstock new) on PS3, and $18.50 (eStarland) or £6.54 (amazon.co.uk used).

    Maybe I didn't play it enough, but I got incredibly bored, because it seemed all I was doing was driving long distances and blowing things up.

    People still play this on PS3?! I was hooked on it for awhile but it became increasingly harder to find games, most of which were laggy.
     
    Multiplayer aside, Guerrilla is definitely underrated and is one of the most fun games I've played this gen.

    MP was alright, it's fun but it still felt like a gimmick and not many people actually did something with the destroyable stuff, mostly using power weapons or running around with the sledgehammer hitting each other.
    Which, to me, sounds a lot like Halo anyway :P
     
    SP was fun, but so tedious!

    Huh. I've had it for a while but I've never been able to find a game whenever I try. Must be a European thing but I might try again later this week provided that I'm not er...playing Civ 5 that is.
