Yahtzee confirmed what I had assumed. That's too bad. The demo made the game look pretty good.

I dunno if I'm just getting used to Yahtzee's voice, and whether I keep drifting in and out, but that seemed really short, even if the timebar says 4 mins...
Perhaps it's because they're getting boring.
Yahtzee is losing his spark.
Nah, he's just using less toilet humor. I noticed him slowing down his rant quite a bit though.

And did Yahtzee seriously complain that he couldn't kill civilians (aka the guys you're fighting to free) without consequence? Except Prototype, name me one game you can.
Deus Ex. I had some terrible conversations with Paul when I didn't realise that you were supposed to sneak around the back of the hostage situation in the subway.

Is it me or is Yahtzee's rant style getting slower?
Yes. It's also now possible to tell what he's saying so I'd say it's an improvement overall.
But I liked it more when he was blazing fast. The most fun part was that by the time the first joke started sinking in he was already on the third!

Wait. the original Red Faction was a fantastic game, how can he gain any respect after saying such things about it. :(

I completely agree with this review.
Heck, I was comparing the game to Saints 2 myself. Though this might be because I bought both titles at the same time, and Saints is easily the superior one of the two.

Hahaha, well you finally got your review, though I don't think you would have been so quick to ask for it if you'd known Yahtzee had an ugly past with it.

The fact that your rebel allies randomly spawn when you commit minor acts of destruction is hilarious...actually reminds me of a scene from a certain HL2 parody comic [http://www.hlcomic.com/index.php?date=2006-06-16].
The wonky building physics isn't any surprise to me...in Gears of War, when one of the bridges gets demolished, chunks of rubble start flying and bouncing around more like styrofoam blocks than anything else, so when you make that a central theme of gameplay, no doubt you're gonna have issues.

Glad you're very self-conscious about the games you repeatedly laud with praise...
I think Yahtzee has a new Prince of Persia.

that sounds like the revolutionary war

America- colonialist that don't like their resources being taken

Britain- stupidly oppressive forces that had there economy tipped over

Agreed. Yahtzee needs to be faster, I cant get my healthy dose of Zero Punctuation if there are ambiguous commas laying on the floor. Kind of like when you're eating Rasin Bran and see horse flies about the room and start realising that rasins kinda look like flies in milk.

"A box came up saying my morale had gone down. No it fuckin hadn't Red Faction: Guerilla!"
I'm a bit surprised a game setting you up to destroy things tries to keep you from destroying things.

I so need to make an icon of Yahtzee and Saints Row 2 getting married. Such a touching scene...

I agree with this review totally. I got bore about a third of the way into the game, and just quit. Now it collects dust and sometimes serves as a coaster.

A quite good review. I do have to agree about how just when you feel you can go and destroy the world with your hammer and rocket launcher the game pulls you back in and says no.
