| Red Faction 2 promises to be an awesome game. Following the success of the first Red Faction game, which sold over 1 million copies worldwide, Volition made a wise choice and decided to make a sequal. They promise a more enhanced use of the Geo-Mod technology, a better multi-player, and lots of action. If this game lives up to it's promise, it will definitely be in the running for game of the year. The story mode promises to be as good, or better than the first, which had an amazing plot. The story mode will be pretty unique. It will feature a gripping plot, and will have multiple mission objectives at once. The grapics in this game look awesome and will definitely enhance the gaming experience. The multiplayer in Red Faction was amazing, the best in an FPS yet, and Volition has promised an even better one in RF2. The new multiplayer will feature many different modes of play including Co-op and deathmatch. The multiplayer will also feature vehicles which will make it that much more enjoyable. I am very excited about this game, it is going to be awesome, one of the best games this year. I am definitely going to get it on its October 23, 2002 release date. ***Features*** Featuring an enhanced Geo-Mod engine that allows players to strategically alter and destroy the game environment in real-time, Red Faction II expands and builds upon the experience and technology of the original game.
