"When Volition first demoed an early version of Red Faction: Guerrilla a few years ago, we doubted that it would ever be more than a nifty tech demo. Well, let us be one of the first to say that we were dead wrong. The team at Volition has turned Red Faction: Guerrilla into a top-notch action title while also managing to produce what may just be the closest thing yet to a fully interactive game world. That's no small feat."

"Similarly, the voice acting and soundtrack are very solid. The voice acting is believable, and dialogue feels fairly natural. The sound effects are very realistic, as bombs explode and pure carnage ensures you’ll hear the twisted metal scrape and torque until it comes crashing to the ground. You’ll hear the concrete fragments pellet all around you after detonating a charge, or the scream from an unsuspecting EDF soldier when you blow them to pieces."

"By delivering a solid campaign mode, an incredibly vast open world, destructible environments and addictive multiplayer modes, THQ and Volition brings you a high quality game that you can’t miss. Red Faction: Guerrilla is a must have in your collection and it won’t be forgotten when award season starts somewhere by the end of the year."

"Red Faction embraces your creativity, allowing you to walk to the front door with guns blazing, or to smash through it with a bomb-filled dump truck (taking the foundation with it). When an architecturally sound structure, complete with rebar reinforcement and organized support, tips into a facility full of baddies, you can take comfort knowing that your physical impact on the world is permanent. Revisiting areas and seeing husks of EDF encampments you wiped from the face of Mars has a tangible, remarkably fulfilling impact on the story."

"In the game's more sophisticated online modes you'll find yourself organized into teams and tasked with defending certain structures from enemy assault or seizing and holding control points. To keep them in one piece as the enemy launches rockets, mines, and whacks away at supports with hammers, there's also a gun unique to the online scene that functions to rebuild decimated structures. So not only will you be trying to defend, but you can also repair any buildings you need to, adding a welcome layer of depth to the modes that take advantage of this tool."
