A solid shooter with plenty of variety for its short runtime and a pretty sick soundtrack to boot. By comparison, the plot is rather bland.
One of the selling points for Red Faction were the destructible environments, so you can tunnel through solid rock with explosives and such. I think the mechanic is underutilized, but it's neat nonetheless.
A mechanic I wish they employed less were the stealth sections, but thankfully they are few and far between.
You probably need the "Pure Faction" mod to play it in modern systems and limiting the framerate to 60 with your graphics card control panel.
