Defend your country as Alias, a demolitions expert, with the help of your five squad members, each specializing in their own method of destruction. Fight through diverse levels using vehicles, an arsenal of specialized weapons and massive explosives in your rampage to overthrow the government.
For the last 15 years, Sopot, the corrupt dictator, has oppressed the people of the Commonwealth. His relentless pursuit of unification with the neighboring United Republic has left the country soaked in unnecessary bloodshed and poverty. Propaganda is plastered throughout communities and a Public Information Building, built as a tribute to the self-centered chancellor, spews news broadcasts with claims of victory as more and more soldiers fall victim. Fed up after years on the front lines, a group of super-soldiers injected with nanotechnology vow to replace the dictator and restore peace.

When Volition released the first “Red Faction”-game back in 2001, it created quite a stir because of the “Geo-Mod Engine”. Suddenly gamers could mould the game environment with rockets and grenades; for example, shoot holes in walls and walk through those holes; things we don’t think about these days.
Released only one year after the first game, “Red Faction II” (2002), is surprisingly bad in almost every category. Most obvious is the edgy graphics and the somewhat short campaign. The story is as you can imagine, quite bad and you never really get to know the characters. I don’t know who wrote the script, but lines like:
“Hey Alias, let’s get wet …” – is pretty dumb coming from a female character in a sub.
I had no trouble at all playing this PC-version on my Windows 8 OS. Everything worked very well. I experienced no crashes or any problems at all.
Conclusion: I would only recommend this game to people who want to find out what happens in the Red Faction-universe.
