Do you like to blow stuff up? Do you not care about characters, a plot, or dying? Well good, because Red Faction: Guerilla contains all of these. You are Alec Mason, and your goal is to help the Red Faction liberate Mars from the evil Earth Defense Force. Don’t worry about following the plot, the missions just have objectives and don’t tie into the story. Mason is rather generic, but his miner outfit is pretty rad. The game also sports the worst British accent I’ve ever heard.

Guerilla moves the series to third person, but destruction still reigns supreme. Every structure that you see can be destroyed. Containing a mission acquisition style similar to GTA mixed with side missions similar to Assassin’s Creed, the game is easy to figure out. Yellow markers on your radar show primary missions, green markers are Guerilla Actions, and blue markers identify EDF buildings to destroy.

Red Faction: Guerilla is exactly the game you would get if you mixed Grand Theft Auto’s missions with Assassin’s Creed repetitiveness, plus Red Faction’s destructibility. Seriously.

Sporting a GTA mission style, Guerilla incorporates a variety of themed missions, a la Assassin’s Creed. On the map, there are yellow, green, and blue icons to go to. Yellow missions are the main missions – ones that run the length of a typical GTA mission. Unfortunately, this is the downfall of Red Faction: Guerilla. There are only a handful of yellow missions per zone, (2-4 in most cases) which is fairly disappointing as the mission claim from the demo comes mostly from the green missions.

Green missions are the type that you would relate to Assassin’s Creed. There are a variety of mission types, ranging from “Heavy Metal” to “Demolitions Master”. Demolitions Master mixes it up a bit – giving you different objectives and requirements in order to blow up certain buildings.
