Red Faction: Armageddon is the answer from Volition where they have made a return to Mars, and to hardcore destructibility, but from a welcome new perspective.
Red Faction.. Guerrilla was a shot in Rthe arm for an unfancied franchise, and its spectacular destructible environments made it a dark horse in last year's gongs. So it's to developer Volition's credit that, rather than resting on those laurels, Armageddon takes the key selling point of Big Chunky Destruction into a different subgenre: the orange panoramas of Mars have morphed into a claustrophobic thirdperson shooter.

The most fun way to do this is with a magnet gun, which works in the same way as its ilk in Just Cause 2 and Crackdown 2 - except here you can rip enemies through buildings, pull down huge rocks or cause two gigantic structures to topple themselves on to a massive army. By narrowing the playing field for destruction, Armageddon invites it to be used more creatively than before: there are plenty of other ways to demolish things beyond the magnet gun. It sometimes feels like a tower collapses if you sneeze.
Armageddon is building on the strengths of the series' previous thirdperson reinvention. Vehicles - though not a highlight of Guerilla - are promised for the multiplayer mode. It's a much more gruesome affair this time around, shootouts in enclosed spaces providing a much more immediate and intense thrill than Guerilla's more open areas afforded. How well the array of world-bending weapons copes in small spaces will be the true test.
