For more strategic advantages, Firepower increases your attack damage, Vision enables X-Ray vision and Heal regenerates your health with rainbow curing powers.įinally, Tremor, the most destructive of the backpack bunch, takes the effects of the Concussion backpack and multiplies its power to include leveling the environment around you. Thrust puts enemies above and below you on notice, as you can quickly ascend and descend with great force. Meanwhile, the Stealth backpack plays it cool by cloaking your character and allowing you to move around the map in a much less noticeable fashion. The aptly named Rhino backpack brings the power of a sledgehammer to your whole body, allowing you to charge and destroy anything in your path like the wild animal gone mad on safari. It's hard for enemies to rush you if they're lying on their backs on the ground. When you're not the one using Fleetfoot, the best way to stop a rapidly approaching Fleetfooter is to use the Concussion backpack, which sends shockwaves around your character. From vertical propulsion to horizontal momentum, the Fleetfoot backpack has the ability to temporarily increase your speed and approach distant enemies with the touch of a button.

In battle, it's always wise to take the higher ground, so the Jetpack enables you to go airborne and pick off enemies from above. It's all about equipping any of the ten backpacks as quickly as possible and using their advantages in conjunction with your shooting skills. They're on racks, much like you'd find at a drugstore selling sunglasses, but you don't want to take all day finding the perfect backpack. It's the special backpacks that contain game-changing powers. Red Faction: Guerrilla includes Earth-shattering Mars-shattering multiplayer destruction, but what makes its online gameplay innovative isn't the surrounding chaos, six different game types, or support of up to 16 players. And, like their story-filled counterpart, these two multiplayer components are destruction-filled fights to the death thanks to the series' patented GeoMod 2.0 engine. Now, you may be thinking: Single-Player? Multiplayer? Wrecking Crew? Since when does communism include options? You'll be glad this game doesn't follow the ideology of its workers' rebellion storyline that closely because both modes can be described as addictive and Wrecking Crew is definitely an unexpected surprise. There's also a 16-player online mode and a hot potato Wrecking Crew offline mode that will have you passing the controller.



We previewed the single-player campaign of Red Faction: Guerrilla extensively, but that's only half of what this upcoming game has to offer.
