1. Not all shooter games require thought. A few (this one included) just require you to shoot like there's no tomorrow. Problem? Nope. Not if you enjoy shooting like there's no tomorrow. Funny thing is, in most of these games' storylines, there isn't planned to be another tomorrow, so you have to shoot like there's no tomorrow. If you enjoy spy-type games, check out Splinter Cell. If you like a mix, check out 007. If you hate all-out shooting, don't waste your time writing a review about games in which you shoot like there's no tomorrow.

2. The game is short, but that's what multiplayer is for. Many shooters end up being too short, but you don't really notice because of the multiplayer mode.

3. I've played very view shooters in which you can save in mid-level. Only 007 Nightfire and Everything of Nothing come to mind. What's the problem? And not even just shooters. There are all kinds of games where you can't save in mid-level. Remember those Mario Bros. games? There was NO save mode there, and no one seemed to mind.

4. And about the developers' support websites, many people enjoy REAL gaming, where the player tries to figure things out themselves. Especially in a game like this where there's not much to figure out; it's just survival, basically.

5. Now for a real, however brief, review of the game: Very cool. Blowing up walls is strangely invigorating. I agree with "A gamer"'s review, stating that the Gamecube version is the best. The glorious 'Cube is sadly underrated. Microsoft enjoys buying its customers. Nintendo prefers to EARN them, but the Xbox has claimed to many mindless prisoners already. Oh well. There's hope in the faithful few. Long live Nintendo! Oh, and Red Faction!

This review is from: RED FACTION 2 (Video Game)

I played the original Red Faction when it came out for PC a few years back and was excited to purchase Red Faction 2 when I got my Game Cube. This game is a high quality shooter with unique and interesting weapons, many of which have alternate modes of fire and special abilities. Classic weapons such as shotguns, rifles, machine guns and pistols are available as well as more heavy duty specialty weapons such as the Wasp, which shoots a spray of explosive jelly blobs, the NCW, with its grenade launcher or the Rail Gun, which can shoot a laser beam through walls at opponents. One of the best things about this game is that the levels are uniquely detailed and players can interact with and destroy the environment, uncovering secret passages or blowing out bridges etc. Many powerups and other items are also available in game. The single player game is quite entertaining, though a bit difficult.The real strength of this game and what my friends and I really love about it, is the Multiplayer function which supports up to 4 players in customizable battles. Deathmatches, Capture the Flag and Team Arenas are some available multiplayer options.
