Every time a new first-person shooter is released for the Xbox, the question immediately be-comes how does it look next to Halo? Which is about as fair as throwing a promising fighter in the ring with a young Mohammad Ali. Red Faction 2 will never scale to the dizzying heights of Halo but it is an entertaining shooter nevertheless.If you are unfamiliar with the series, players assume the role of a key figure in the rebellion, a demolitions expert known as Alias. You and your syndicate are trying to remove an oppressive Saddam-like dictator from power.
