Red Faction: Armageddon - Path to War

Red Faction: Armageddon - Path to War

Given Red Faction: Armageddon arsenal huge and devastating destructiveness deliciously, the prospect of new opportunities to wreak havoc on the planet Mars is attractive. Path of war is hard to capitalize on this potential, with four missions of the new campaign that will give an overview of the events leading up to the original game. Two of these missions are based on vehicles, while raising the bar destructive vehicle handling is not the strong point of Armageddon. Both feet in the most successful missions, arming yourself with two new weapons moderately fun and exciting installment of the action is expected. Unfortunately, the whole is more than an hour, and there is nothing to do but play again. Even with a few fun times, going to war does not justify the dollar in September (540 Microsoft Points) purchase price.

Even if Armageddon has a very interesting history, way of war begins with an exciting twist. In the first mission you play as one of the top lieutenants of Adam Hale and blast your way through dozens of Red Faction soldiers, while the sabotage of their defense. It's a shame that this mission takes place in an air vehicle, and you have not had the chance to play the role of villain in a more up close and personal. Instead, you float slowly through the narrow passages, blowing all sorts of things with your missile attack and defeat the tiny soldiers. The explosions are well enough, but the car is not very fun to drive. Floating controls do little to give the sense that you are a powerful weapon in the war, so the entire mission feels flat. The same goes for the next mission where you run into a tank with reversible awkward (and disorienting) steps.

Fortunately, the second half of the Path to War takes us back to earth as Darius Mason, brandishing weapons such as the family struggle through industrial areas, settlements, caves, and thick Cultist enemies. Even if you start with only part of the arsenal, you're almost immediately got another new weapons in this add-on with splinter weapon. This contraption Cleanup reused to collect the ball around debris in the vicinity, and then shoots where you want. Overwrite your enemies in a chaos of construction is definitely fun, especially when you kill the crap they used to be a bridge they were standing. Playing with a fragment of a weapon can be fun for a while ', although it is likely to do you are looking for creative chaos feeds magnetic weapon, which will be used when only one of four tasks.

The other new weapon is less exciting but more lethal. The sniper weapon is a powerful beam impales the target to any surface behind it. Stick an enemy in a wall that is good for a smile, and when you use this firearm in relation to their ability to Shockwave, you can send an enemy flying lazily through the map. Do not get to see flying for long, however, because the shooter is so powerful that it kills human enemies with one shot and that dissolve quickly after being deposited. Big enemies will be driven by pins sniper, and this limits the amount of evil enemies, setting the pleasure, you may have. In addition, you have to use the handle only the fourth and final level of the path of war and can not use the new weapons infestation or break fashion.

Way of the war also comes with a handful of new developments, but it is easy to have everyone in your first game and alone. Complete the four missions and exhausting all that this extension has to offer lasts about an hour, and it's a shame that so much is devoted to the sequences of the vehicles instead of the dull explosive action of the heart. New weapons for entertainment, but like everything else in the way of war is of short duration. People are hungry for more red faction: Armageddon can get more pleasure from a new game of this brief, which has much and gives too little.

Once again, to pack a punch big, but because the camera is enlarged to include your big machine, the destruction is not effective or satisfactory, is when you walk.
