If you've been a gaming enthusiast for a significant amount of time chances are good that you know about Red Faction.  It's a series that has gotten a lot of love from its fans since it was released for PC way back in 2001, and ever since the follow-up title Red Faction II came to the PS2 there has been a lot of buzz about a next-gen sequel.  That wait is over.

The teaser trailer below plays to the strength of the franchise: destructible environments.  A lot of people attribute destructible environments to more modern games like Crysis, but the folks at Volition started the trend over 8 years ago.  Red Faction: Guerilla looks to take the idea to a whole different level, but you'll have to watch the trailer to see what I mean!  I have to say that I'm excited to play this game because even though I'm familiar with the Red Faction titles, I've never had a chance to try them.

So then, how are the destructible environments in Red Faction: Guerilla so much better than those in Crysis?  Well, for starters, the biggest building I destroyed while playing Crysis was a hut out in the jungle.  The buildings you can destroy in Guerilla are exactly that - actual buildings.  Rather than running through the front door of the enemy's barracks you can instead just blow the whole multi-floor building up.  Whereas destruction in Crysis was sort of an after-thought, destruction in Red Faction: Guerilla is your best weapon.
