Bought the new Red Faction, with mixed feelings. I couldn't afford both it and Prototype. T-T
I enjoy the gameplay, but even early in I can see how repetitive this game is going to be. The story is half-assed, the characters are cardboard to the max, and the lack of blood reminds you that you're just playing a game.
Also, the insignificant penalty you suffer when you die makes death seem trivial. "Oh teh noes, I lost 3 morale!" It doesn't matter, since you just blew the governor's office to hell before you died.
Fun game, but everything else is bland, like just about every other game on the market these days. At least Red Faction provides entertainment, which is a claim that those other games can't make.
I'll give it 8 Jon Snows out of 10.
