Red Faction: Guerrilla Demo Impressions

The demo charges you with going into enemy territory to secure a construction mech (shown above). Get it back to a waiting truck, and then defend the truck via a turret on the rear as the driver gets the truck to the rendezvous point.  Along the way there are plenty of things to destroy, and THAT is where the fun of the game lies.  The feeling of taking a large 6-wheeler cargo truck, crashing it though the enemies’ line of defense and smashing almost completely through a nearby building is simply FUN.  Your mind will come up with all sorts of creative techniques once you realize that the front door isn’t necessarily the only way of breaching a building.  The possibilities are nearly endless.

The graphics can use some polish between now and release, the shooting needs to be tightened up a bit, and I’d also like to see some improvements to the enemy AI. But overall this seems to be a very well done game that will provide hours of entertainment when the game releases this June.
