The gameplay takes a bit of a nosedive at the 2/3 point when more accurate and spongy enemies replace the much more fun to fight Ultor guards, plus that bomb minigame at the end is just a piss take and the stealth segments and boss fights are plain bad, but when Red Faction sticks to what it does best it still remains a fine example of early 2000s PC FPS and the Geomod technology is impressive even to this day, despite being woefully underutilized on the level design side of things. Red Faction's shortcomings are annoying but they aren't uncommon issues for games of that era.
