Games Review - Red Faction Armageddon - Total Destruction Looks So Beautiful!
Your back is called to save the inhabitants of Mars in Red Faction Armageddon! Latest sequel of the game series which gain popularity since the previous Red Faction, Guerrilla, which was released in 2009 brought a change in the form of the game. Does this suit your taste or not, all you can set yourself after reading this review. However, one thing is for sure, Red Faction Armageddon still bring its main characteristic, namely the total destruction of the environment in the game! If you are a fan of this game series, the story of Mars colony residents struggle against the oppression of Earth's forces are not necessarily familiar. Red Faction has always brought the struggle for independence against the background of demographic Earth Defense Force (EDF). It is very viscous feels when you play the Guerilla. Unfortunately, Armageddon did not carry the same story with its predecessor. You will meet a new enemy that threatens the destruction of Mars in total! Are the enemies you'll face later?

Before discussing more about the new enemies you'll meet, you should be more familiar form of the game of Armageddon first. Apparently, the difference Guerilla with Armageddon is not only located on the story alone. You will also find a different game. When you find the Guerilla open world action game that gives you the freedom to explore his world, Armageddon is not like that. You will follow the story lines that have been determined and there is not much freedom in it. The game is set up point-to-point and stored on your way through the checkpoint.
Does this change the negative value of this game? Maybe so if you like the concept given in Guerilla. However, the journey has been directed like this of course has its own advantages. Each battle becomes more dramatic as the story is set. In addition, you also do not spend much time outside of battle. It is suitable for players who want to go into action as quickly as possible and not too concerned with the exploration of a slow storyline.

The main characteristic of the series Red Faction game is also very subtle found here. Is it? If you've played the previous series, Guerilla, surely there is one aspect of a very deep impression when playing. Yes, the environment that can be destroyed! Almost all the objects that you find can be destroyed! Especially when you destroy a large building. Destruction effects are so spectacular! However, the destruction here is not just a cosmetic effect. You can use it to defeat the enemy. For instance, enemy inside the building will be damned if the building where they were sheltering collapsed. Each structure has a construction point of the main mast. If you manage to destroy it, the building would not withstand its own weight. So cool!

Tools to reap destruction is also more varied. In Guerilla example, you initially only given a hammer that can break down the walls and knocking down buildings up close. After that, maybe you could use heavy weaponry to make it more efficient, like a rocket launcher. Now, you will be given a very interesting weapon, namely Magnet Gun. Why is this weapon so special? Point is very simple. You shoot one bullet into the surface of the building (or enemy) that can be destroyed. Then, fired another bullet into another surface. The result, surface affixed to the first bullet will be attracted towards the second bullet!
You still can not see the greatness of this gun? Well, just imagine what if the first bullet fired into the enemy first and second rounds were fired into the enemy ?. Both of these enemies will be attracted and the farther the distance will further increase the power . So also by directing debris towards building adjacent groups of enemies. If you are good at using it in battle, it is not possible you do not need to waste bullets at all to fight the enemy! Magnet Gun does not require a bullet at all and shooter distance far enough.

Weapons that you will find also varied forms. Ranging from small weapons like machine guns up to standard Plasma Rifle that could melt all the objects. Degree of destruction of weapons with explosive base is also very amazing. Moreover, when such weapons have tremendous explosive power, such as a gun that the bullet makes a magnetic vortex which pulls everything around it and blow it up. If confirmed all the objects around it will dissolve into rubble. Only just noticed the direction of your shot. Not funny when you destroy the bridge you are stepped on just because you love to see the destruction up close, right?

The new feature in this game is to anticipate the tremendous power of the weapons destroyed is Nano Repair. You can fix with an instant all the objects that have been broken into as before. So, do not worry to destroy because all you can fix again! In fact, in mid-game you can shoot Nano Repair to fix remotely. Very useful for repairing the building that became the ammunition you when using the Magnet Gun! Simply hide and throw the building into an enemy. Then, return the building back to normal and repeat the same attack!

The character you play, Darius Mason, will also develop the ability over the course of the game. To strengthen its combat capability Mason, you must collect points Salvage first. Points are almost the same role with the money. Having collected enough (typically 1000 points), you can buy new skills. Skill is also divided into two parts, namely passive and active skills. Passive Skill work immediately after you buy and do not need to press any key to get the advantage. Examples of this type of skill is to strengthen the resilience of the body from attacks, reinforce the assault guns, and accelerate time to reload the weapon, while the skill is active in the field requires activation. Examples are making shields and firing force to the front to destroy all in its path.

All weapons and tremendous skill is certainly not useful without a commensurate enemy challenges. Apart from the human face of the enemy, you will also face the enemy in the form of monsters. Life-threatening form of Mars has a variety of forms and strengths. In fact, there are some who must be destroyed by using heavy weaponry. In addition, you can also use the big robots fighting with terrible weapons. Only the destruction left by the robot!
This game does not give the game an extra in the form of a secret that you can find. However, you will get a New Game Plus feature after successfully completing the game. New Game Plus give you access all the weapons that have been owned, skill, and money from the last save data. In addition, you will also get some very interesting unique weapons and access Cheats. Cheats This feature does not just give you help to simplify the game. You have to buy large amounts of money to get unlimited ammunition, new powerful weapons, and change the display style of game.

Additional Another very interesting are the two other game modes, namely Ruin Mode and Infestation mode. In Ruin Mode, you will be challenged to create maximum destruction and all that will be counted into the points. Players who managed to get the biggest points will enter his name in the record. While Infestation Mode asks you to survive as long as possible against endless monsters attack! Interestingly, you can play this mode with three of your friends!

Many interesting things can you find in this game, ranging from total destruction, powerful weapons, until the robots are cool. If you do not mind some changes in the form of a game than previous games, Armageddon will give much satisfaction to you!
