Personal review

An incredibly fun 3rd person shooter, with some melee and driving features and a big and destructable open world.
Includes some cool mission styles and a few interesting and unique weapons.
Hammer time!

Box blurb - # 2009-12-21 15:59:15 - official description
Red Faction: Guerrilla is a 3rd person, open-world action shooter set on Mars, 50 years after the events of the original Red Faction. Players assume the role of an insurgent fighter with the newly re-established Red Faction movement as they battle for liberation from the oppressive Earth Defense Force. Throughout their fight for freedom, players carve their own path, wreaking havoc across the vast, open-world environment of Mars, from the desolate mining outpost of Parker to the gleaming EDF capital city of Eos. Utilizing improvised weapons, explosives and re-purposed mining equipment and vehicles, Red Faction: Guerrilla allows players to tear through fully destructible environments in an unforgiving Martian landscape swarming with EDF forces, Red Faction resistance fighters, and the downtrodden settlers caught in the cross-fire. Red Faction: Guerrilla also features a robust multiplayer component, including several modes focused on destruction-based gameplay.

Performance issues?
If the games gets sluggish when large structures are collapsing, some have had success with lowering the game's priority from default to something lower.
