Red faction guerrilla xbox 360 game Red Faction is a franchise that's been away from our screens for some time. It's original selling point, back when the existing two games in the franchise pre-Guerilla were released, was the fact that you could fundamentally alter the game environment to your tactical advantage.
Thus, in some cases, if someone was hiding behind a wall you could, in theory, just blow it out of the way. In fact there was lots of blowing stuff up, and this provided ample cover for the fairly routine games underneath.
Thus the earlier games themselves, set in the mines of Mars, were solid first person shooters, but when no word was heard of a third instalment after Red Faction 2 was released, it was presumed that the franchise had been dropped.
Not so. THQ has revived the franchise with some style, once more putting you into the mines of Mars, where you play Alec Mason. Mason is one of the workers, and is one of the many oppressed by the Earth Defense Force (EDF), so the scene is quickly set for the guerrilla warfare approach that the game's title hints at.
