Need a review/opinion

I would like to know all of your opinions on Red Faction 1, and if I should buy that game or not for $20?  I love FPSs with a decent plot and tight controls?  Any opinion will be appreciated.  Thank you.

Buy it.

Fine controls, good enough storyline, very Half-Lifey..

i\'d definately recommend it  especially at that price.

good 2 player deathmatch as well

Would you say it is better than Half Life?

No.  I actually hated the crap out of this game on the PS2.  The framerates were so dodgy, and the game engine that supposedly lets you destroy everything is ... a gimmick at best.  Buy Half-Life on the PS2 instead if you really need a great single player FPS game.

I hate first person view games .... gets me dizzy and gives me seizure\'s:evil::boom:

I think it has the best FPS first player experience since Half Life, but I wouldn\'t call it better. If you want something better than Half Life go for Halo.

Is it just me or is anyone who played the **** out of Golden Eye 4 player just sick of simple FPS shoot\'em ups?

I cant even enjoy Halo anymore (besides 1st player which is like a week worth of play), after playing Return to Castle Wolfenstein and Renegade.  Real Time Strategy combined with FPS is awesome.

What Ryu said was 100% true.  Not as good as Half-Life, framerate is annoying (at first) and with the exception of a couple of deathmatch levels, the Geo-Mod technology was rarely used after the first 3rd of the game

but the game itself is really good, and for $20 you cant go wrong

Let\'s just say that I didn\'t even like first person shooters until I played Red Faction. Go ahead and buy it, its great.

If you\'re looking for the best single player FPS on PS2, go for Half Life.  That game is amazing.  No other FPS with a story compares, IMO.

Never played Red Faction, was considering picking it up too.

Look in VF4 forum "This game is still inferior to Tekken" and in Off Topic, "Ps2 online plans-I\'m new".

it has its flaws but its pretty cool

I started playing it again today, its ok, but after playing Halo, I got bored after about 10mins, the loading times are pretty frequent, and irritating, give it a rent first, or just wait for Red Faction 2
