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: Battlegrounds a downloadable multiplayer arena shooter hat's "very DLC-based, all bout the world", according to a THQ spokesperson. It is not inspiring stuff: downloadable titles can be simple, but this looks like you've seen everything in the first minute. A more uccessful expansion of the world may be Red Faction: Origins, an animated movie produced by Syfy, based on he property and scheduled for March next year. Add the usual slew of books, comics and hoodies come the release date of Armageddon and, though we're suckers for Red Faction's destruction as such as anyone, it does make you wonder who's buying this stuff. There's a distinct flavour of Dead Space in the insectoid nature of the enemies. Whether this sci-fi twist will gel with the series' grass-roots theme is yet to be seen.

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.
