Red Faction II (2002)

I love the first red faction game. it had fun weapons, lots of destructive environments, fun vehicle sequences and lots of actions. Red faction 2, on the other hand, fails to live up to the qualities of the first game.

the gunplay here feels really bland and fails to pack a punch. shooting the enemies just doesn't feel satisfying and a lot of the weapons feel under-powered.

the level design is much more linear than that of the first game, and what was so impressive about the first game was that if you threw a grenade or fired a rocket at a wall, or the ground, it would leave a huge hole or literally destroy a piece of the environment, it was a such a groundbreaking feature. however, in this game, destructive environments are much rarer and only certain parts of the game have it.

overall, I don't recommend this sequel the first game was much better.
