    for older teens

    This game is not violent at all. Basically you just walk around crushing broken parts and shooting martians. The only problem is the language. My fourteen year old loves this game and I allow my twelve year old to play it occasionally.

    um first this review is horrible "OH online play poses a risk of personal information to be said in open chat" u know teens and pre-teens are not dumb its not like "hey uh new person i dont know who is most likely older than me here is my address" and oh my god terrorism hes fighting oppression like the patriots in the revolutionary war our ancestors were no different. also cigarettes most people smoke cigarettes like parents of children so overall its a great game but i hate this review HATE in capital letters

    Endless destruction on Mars..Woo Hoo!

    Red Faction Guerilla takes place on Mars, and you play as a character who's brother was killed by the EDF (Earth Defense Force) and is exacting his revenge. The EDF eventually label him as a member of the Red Faction (A Group of people who are trying to liberate themselves from EDF rule). Seeing that you have no other options you join the Red Faction and help them liberate Mars. Red Factions graphics aren't something that will make you say "WOW! THAT's AMAZING!!" but they still have an appealing look to them. Most of Mars is pretty barren (but what can you expect on Mars?) with an a few buildings here and there. Almost Everything on Mars is destructible, if you can see it it can probably be blasted into oblivion by the innumerable weapons at your disposal. Buildings collapse in a satisfying manner, cars explode, helicopters crash, bridges collapse, tanks of fuel explode into greenish firework like displays, and the best thing of all is almost every vehicle can be controlled by the player (Much like Grand Theft Auto). Killing EDF members results in a splatter of blood on whatever they are standing by (Be it the Floor, wall, car etc..), characters occasionally drop the "F-Bomb" and you will hear words like "D*mn, A*s, B*stard" throughout. As with all online games you will get the annoying person who thinks Cursing makes them cooler (But that's what the mute buttons for), overall the community is quite otherwise. Buildings in online play can also be destroyed, while gleefully destroying these buildings you may notice that sometimes the buildings "Lagg". In other words, when you hit the building with a sledgehammer it may take a few seconds for you to actually see the effect. Another downside to Online play is that you can't control ANY vehicles, yup, no vehicles. They do give you "Packs" to make up for this though ( I can't remember their names so I won't list them). If you love destroying anything you can get your hands on then you MUST BUY this game.

    Fun game, a great buy

    Very fun game taking place on Mars during a worker's rebellion. Gameplay primarily involves demolishing buildings with charged explosives, but also includes stealing trucks and saving hostages. The worst violence you'll see is when the player bashes a soldier with his sledgehammer, though there is little blood, if any at all. A big part of the game is being able to destroy the environment (buildings, bridges, etc.) olang with its simple control setup. Excellent game.

    Good role models, great gameplay, awesome game!!

    This game is VERY entertaining! The first thing i noticed when playing this game was the amount of destruction. Just about anything is destructible. The message in this game is good because the EDF (Earth Defense Force, who isn't very defensive) is coming to Mars and attacking it. Your brother gets killed so you join a rebel group called the Red Faction and sets out to stop the EDF. The violence in this game is mostly destroying buildings but there are missions requiring you to kill actually humans. There is some blood and enemies will grunt in pain and fall. The language is probably something you would hear in a PG-13 movie. But very fun game!
