The Mediocre Zone | #30 | Red Faction 2 (2002)
2I am very sorry about the audio desynch ... it happened when it recorded this game ... the thing was all movies are in 24fps but game is captured in 60... mix that and you get that audio lag ... sorry about it
and now lets resume :
Red Faction 2 oh you ... a game by Volition that forgot the main plot and MARS ... a game that cheats on Easy making all a bullet sponge, but on Hard all can be killed in one hit (you too) ... a game that tried to be different by adding a morale points for kills that affected what of four ending you will get... a game that forgot its Geo-mod usage making only selective things destructible , then all in the Original ... a game that used know Actors like Lance Henriksen and Jason Statham to make you care about the mediocre awful plot ... a game that killed the Series ... that later had to be reinvented and rebooted back into MARS under the name Red Faction 3 Guerrilla ... making it the most excellent sandbox game i have played
The sad thing was they did not learned they lesson and part 4 changed it genre an awful survival horror (like it wanted to compete against Dead Space) with a story so awful ... it made no sense (it even hit my crap list)
Could not decide into what category place this turd , because my younger me liked this... so i made it a mediocre ... its fun but only if you have nothing else to play ... or if you did not played the excellent part 1 that shits on this
