Red Faction 2

So had my first chance to put a good amount of time into this last night until Joshuaa and his croonies pried me away to play some GOW2 with them. All in all i'm really impressed. There is just TONS of landscape, and missions and things to do, and each thing can be done so many different ways, for example one mission was to destroy a mining compound. So I loaded up a pickup type truck with hydorgen tanks and rammed it through the building, shot the back and BOOM there goes that facility

, I think it earned me a good 7 kill streak as well as i'd attracted quite a bit of attention ramming builds on my way to the main one.

In another mission there was a very large smoke stack/factory that needed to be delt with, so I decided to kill two birds with one stone and bring the smoke stack down on top of the factory and enjoy the fireworks. I set the charges on the side of the stack that I wanted it to fall, thinking if i took out the supports on this side it would fall perfectly onto the factory. after setting the charges (4) I walked to a safe distance, and blew them, at first it was just a big explosion and it rattled a bit but didn't come down. That of course alerted all the guards which were desending upon me like a flock of very pissed off hornets. I figured I better just get a few more charges on it and high tail it out there, as there was no way I was gonna be able to have a stand up fight with all the goons. On my way over however I noticed it pieces were still falling off the smoke stack, by the time I got there it was obvious the thing was seconds away from buckling and comeing down just as I'd originally planned. I sprinted underneeth it the goons in tow and jumped in a hijacked buggy and sped off. The stack came down right on my tail, and made a very impressive specticle. Factory and stack were destroyed and all the troops that were chasing me were so disoriented not even half of them bothered to follow me, the rest were dealt with easily enough.

Needless to say i'm enjoying this game very much. I understand it might not be some peoples cup o tea but for me planning the destruction of a building and see it work with such accuracy is amazingly fun and sastisfactory

I recommend at least giving the demo a run through.

Anyone else have some fun stories to share?

I haven't played my copy in a while, been hooked on dead space.
I love doing house arrest missions, drive a big truck though the house and get the guys and drive off.
