Also, and here's the worst complaint, the game is dark. But pretty much anything else you could see by copy-pasting something like Gears of War and changing all the names (and removing the chainsaw). There are some innovative ideas-the nanoforge ability to repair things, and the Force-like abilities it enables are awesome. So in the end the game is another generic third person shooter. If you don't want the game spoiled for you, suffice to say the plot is a bad joke. Begging the question, why didn't you do that when the thing blew up, and why the HELL didn't you do that when the aliens showed up!? END SPOILERS. Only.in the end of the game YOU DO ACTUALLY REPAIR IT in order to kill all the aliens you're fighting. An easy author handwave is that the terraformer uses materials the nanoforge can't reproduce. Ignoring the fact that such an important target is so weakly defended, given you have the ability to literally repair anything, the fact you don't immediately repair it should confuse pretty much anyone. In the beginning of the game the terraformer that keeps Mars stable is blown up. (Usually you'll be running through indestructible caves.) The plot.don't even get me started on the plot. The gameplay is hardly different from any other shooter, with the occasional moment where you can blow up a building.

But when you compare it to the glory of Red Faction: Guerrilla it's hard to think of it so highly. As a standalone game, Red Faction: Armageddon would probably deserve a 6. Literally, if you wander slightly away from an objective it does the "get back here in ten seconds or die" thing. How do you take an open world destruction game and make it better? If you answered "jam it into a cave" you probably work for Volition. You are humanity's last hope for survival.
