Red Faction II is a sequel to the hit game Red Faction and takes place on Earth as opposed to the Mars of the first. Red Faction II was developed by Volition and published by THQ on October 16, 2002 for PlayStation 2, PC, Xbox, and GameCube.
It takes place on Earth, telling the story of a group of super soldiers, including the main character, Alias. These soldiers were physically enhanced by a secret technology originally developed on Mars. Red Faction II does not support network gaming, but provides some multiplayer-style games with 'bots'. Lance Henriksen provides the voice of the squad leader, Molov.
Changes from Red Faction includes the removal of features such as interconnected levels, the ability to move bodies, and weapon groupings, giving it a more arcade feel. Also the GeoMod technology is of limited use in Earth's cities of Red Faction II compared to Martian tunnels of Red Faction. Additions include the use of duel weapons, an increased frame rate, and a substantially improved multiplayer. Red Faction II also creates a larger emphasis on explosive weaponry.
