The following review pertains specifically to the OnLive version of Red Faction: Armageddon.
Opening
It seems as though Volition, Inc is having an identity crisis with its Red Faction series. The franchise started out as a first person shooter, later was changed into a third person open world action game with the release of Red Faction: Guerilla, and now – with the release of Red Faction: Armageddon – has been converted into a linear third person shooter. In one hand, Volition can be applauded for trying to fully explore their franchise to discover what works best for it. In the other hand, though, one can’t help but to observe how Volition is potentially alienating portions of the series’ fan base with each new release. This is especially true for Red Faction: Armageddon, which has angered many fans with its evaporation of its predecessor’s open world gameplay.
