SUMMARY:                                                                                                                                                 
From the creators of the award-winning FreeSpace series comes Red Faction.  Every FPS gamer has wondered what it would be like to unleash his weapons not just on unworthy opponents, but on the very walls that constrain them.  With that in mind, Red Faction introduces Geo-Mod technology - real-time, arbitrary geometry modification that drastically enhances realism and diversity of gameplay.  Framed by impressive features including an astonishing physics engine, controllable vehicles, intense graphics, kick-ass weapons, unique natural environments and a hugely ivolving storyline, Red Faction is the next must-have title for serious gamers.

QUICK REVIEW:                                                                                                                                         
+ Geo-Mod technology is a first and raises the bar for all other FPS games, high production value, top-notch sound FX, immersive story

- No 4 player option, Geo-Mod is not used enough in later levels
