When this proves to be unrealistic, he takes it upon himself to find the man responsible, bring him to justice and end the threat the aliens pose. He wakes up three days later and has to fight his way back to the underground city of Bastion in order to, he hopes, warn the Red Faction and somehow save the day. Then a little later he gets duped into unleashing the hordes of Martian aliens who have been residing beneath the surface of Mars all this time. He manages to screw up and not save the day at the beginning of the game. Anyway, this Mason character seems to have bad luck following him around like a lost puppy. They named him Darius and then they bestowed on him the Nanoforge. The protagonists of Guerrilla, Alec Mason and his galpal Samanya got married and had a kid. So when Volition announced they were working on a new Red Faction and were in fact taking the action underground I was both optimistic and hesitant all at the same time. Side missions were either really awesome or tediously boring, and the open world felt a little too under populated for people used to the vast urban sprawl of Grand Theft Auto or Saint’s Row. The game was an open world one and its only flaw was that once gone, the buildings were gone forever -or at least until you restarted the game. It satisfied an itch that I’ve always felt games should scratch – namely testing my skills at demolishing buildings using nothing but a sledgehammer and a toothpick. You could even drive trucks through buildings, leaving holes shaped like trucks in them. It was a refreshing change from the games of the day.
