I've been looking at previews/game info on Red Faction and it looks like one damned good game! Any idea when the Mac version will be out?

Don't try to outweird me, I get stranger things than you free with my breakfast cereal.

RF rocks, I've played it and seen it played. That review isn't worth looking at, it's totally biased and it looks like ass because the reviewer's machine sucks.

Hey, if it's anything like the PS2 version, this game will definately rock.

Yeah, I would have to agree; I've seen it in action and my impression was that it is a first-rate game. I was particularly impressed with the enemy AI; you throw a grenade and they either scatter or run backwards or hide behind something; they go get reinforcements if they're getting their asses kicked; and they seemed to be truly challenging to play against. Plus, it looked like a lot of fun, and my PC-owning friend said it was almost exactly like Half-Life, which can never be a bad thing.

I've played the PC version (both Multiplayer and singleplayer), and I wasn't particularly impressed. Multi played well and fast, but the Geo-Mod engine isn't as great as it's hyped up to be. Not everything can be blown to smithereens, only selected walls and such. So you could be blasting your way through a wall only to hit a steel beam and be totally stopped.
You can also clean out an entire room, go on to the next, trip an alarm by accident, and then have 10 bad guys spill out from the room you were just in. Ok, ok, some might think this is nit picking...but come on, where did they come from? Just beam in?
I can't say the story line was that engaging either, just keep blasting away and you'll be done soon enough. No real puzzles or involve much thinking.
However I did like the weapons (especially since all have two fire modes), and the character models are done rather well. It's a good game, I just wasn't drawn in to it as much as Half-Life.
It's supposed to be coming out next month. You can already pre-order it now.
