- Despite being set on a dull, lifeless planet - Red Faction Guerrilla succeeds by providing some of the most satisfying destruction physics we've ever encountered in a video game and making them an integral part of the experience.
Sammy Barker · Jun 17, 2009 Reviewed on PS3Read full review - If the thought of living out an action movie is not your idea of a good time, you probably aren't going to get a whole lot out of Red Faction: Guerrilla. But if such an idea sounds like it could be appealing, the game should be put on your "to buy" list, and soon. And if you happen to be into a little online multiplayer action, the purchasing decision should be made even easier. There's more than enough content to get your money's worth, especially if you don't need to be told by a game what to do, and can create fun and mayhem in a sandbox world by yourself.
Jordan Devore · Jun 16, 2009 Reviewed on X360Read full review - While there are clunky bits at the fringes of Red Faction: Guerrilla that give it a handful of frustrating or disappointing moments, the core moments of the game are exciting and well-conceived. Factor in a thrilling multiplayer component and the sheer satisfaction provided by the wholesale destruction of huge structures and you've got more than enough reasons to get your ass to Mars.
Jeff Gerstmann · Jun 09, 2009 Reviewed on PS3, X360Read full review - Guerrilla's gameplay is similar--many of the missions may feel like they're at the same, loud, all-out pace, but when devastation is this well presented, it's difficult not to get swept along by its primal energy. Red Faction: Guerrilla mixes a long and involving single-player campaign with a fun and satisfying online segment, with both adding up to a game that proves that a little chaos (or in this case, a lot) can be a positive thing.
Randolph Ramsay · Jun 04, 2009 Reviewed on PC, PS3, X360Read full review - Had Red Faction Guerrilla's campaign been at a consistent high throughout we might have had a real game of the year contender on our hands. Even with some flaws, though, Guerrilla is a great game that comes highly recommended, in no small part to some superb multiplayer game modes that should see the game gain quite a following. More importantly, blowing things up is cool, and no game lets you see the destruction caused better than Volition's latest.
Tom Orry · Jun 02, 2009 Reviewed on PC, PS3, X360Read full review - An almost-fully-destructible sandbox environment has been a long time coming. Though Red Faction: Guerrilla delivers on this concept admirably, it wasn't without a cost: namely, the detail and character that makes the best open-world games memorable to begin with. Be that as it may, there's still plenty here to enjoy. Just be prepared to endure some slow spells, and power through some truly unforgiving moments.
Game Trailers · Jun 02, 2009 Reviewed on X360 - What's more disappointing about Volition's effort is the rocky mission design, bland artistic style, weak plot and anemic character development, which shifts too much focus to the element of destruction to maintain a level of excitement. Its enjoyable gunplay mechanics along with the weapons and opportunity for tearing apart structures carry over into the online space, where Volition has built an impressive multiplayer suite that includes stat tracking, unlocks, and a number of game modes that focus on flattening buildings. While the game may not do everything right, it's your best bet for free-form demolition and unpretentious entertainment.
Charles Onyett · May 28, 2009 Reviewed on PC, PS3Read full review - While it’s true some of the tasks open to you in Red Faction: Guerrilla can feel a little repetitious, even laborious, they’re vastly outweighed by the sheer fun you can have taking the land and EDF apart. The story’s cliché but frankly anything that gives a guy like Mason the excuse to blow up almost the entire infrastructure of a planet in the name of ‘freedom’ can’t be a bad thing, and luckily it isn’t as long as you weren’t expecting an Oscar nominated script.
Simon Priest · Sep 28, 2009 Reviewed on PCRead full review - The presentation is polished, the visuals solid, the core gameplay gimmick amusing enough to keep you playing even as irritation creeps up. The gameplay has its ups and downs along the way, and some will find its lumpy structure a problem, but Red Faction is the very definition of a solid 7/10 - a game that should have been better, but offers more than enough to warrant a purchase during the quiet months.
Dan Whitehead · Jun 05, 2009 Reviewed on X360Read full review - The story, characters and location may lack the depth and detail of say GTA IV’s, but then this is an altogether different animal. This is videogaming popcorn; the equivalent of a massive summer blockbuster and by far the biggest one you’ll play this year. For sheer unpretentious, balls-out, action-packed entertainment you need look no further. Red Faction: Guerrilla is the game for anyone that loves to blow stuff up, which should be any human being with a pulse.

Red Faction: Guerrilla re-defines the limits of destruction-based game-play with a huge open-world, fast-paced guerrilla-style combat, and true physics-based destruction.
