The solo missions in Red Faction are typical first person shooter fare. The game’s first few levels are deep within mines of Mars and are a bit boring. But once you get out of the mines and have to sneak around an Ultor office building with guards and security cameras all around, or when you get to control one of five vehicles, the game is much more interesting. The vehicles, which include a jeep, an APC, a drilling machine, a submarine, and a fighter aircraft, are all well done and the levels that feature them are very fun. The driller is perhaps the most fun because you can forge your own nice wide path through the mines, but it is not used nearly enough. The variety in missions due to the vehicles and the stealth missions makes the game less repetitive.
