Red Faction II Cover

Red Faction: II is the second game in the Red Faction series developed by Volition Inc. and published by THQ Inc. in 2002. Unlike Red Faction and Red Faction: Guerrilla, this game was directly ported from the PS2 to the XBox and PC by Outrage. Lack of online multiplayer, developer support and editing tools were disappointing to most fans. Dedicated fans will be happy to learn that there has been no announcement from Volition Inc. or THQ Inc. that Outrage will be involved in the slightest with Red Faction: Guerrilla.

Plot

The game, much like its predecessor, has basis in the real-life Red Army Faction; many storytelling themes that were prevalent in Red Faction are more pronounced in this sequel.

Earth. Twenty-second century. Five years after the rebellion on Mars. For 15 years, Chancellor Victor Sopot has oppressed the people of the Commonwealth. His corrupt rule and a relentless war of unification with the United Republic has left the Commonwealth bloodied and impoverished. As distant battles rage, sewage taints Sopot City’s rivers, pollution smudges the sky, and wretched citizens huddle in crumbling ruins. The Public Information Building, built by the dictator as a tribute to himself, broadcasts lies about Sopot’s bravery and the Commonwealth’s military victories.

Condemned to death by Chancellor Sopot, six super-soldiers unite to save their country, vowing to overthrow Sopot using the unique powers that nanotechnology has given them. Join the squad as Alias, a demolitions expert. Fight side-by-side with Molov, Repta, Shrike, Tangier, and Quill—each possessing unique attributes and specialties. Battle through diverse environments using vehicles, an arsenal of specialized weapons, and explosives in a mission to overthrow the government. Defeat Sopot and restore the honor of the Commonwealth!
