Red Faction: Guerrilla

Red Faction: Guerrilla - Xbox 360

Pros Cons
Fantastic multiplayer Poor storytelling
Just plain fun  
Gamepro wasn't joking, you're missing out.

I'm sure you heard all about Red Faction: Guerrilla's explosive and diverse single player campaign. What about the multiplayer? Most of you probably didn't even consider it. Think Gears of War's tight combat with some arcadey Unreal Tournament thrown in, all with a plethora of diverse and destructable maps.
The balancing is really were I found the true joy of Guerrilla's multiplayer. Every weapon is a blast to use with its own strengths and weaknesses. One look at the other crazy weapons and you'll see when even the pistol is devastating the arsenal is fantastic.
Backpacks? Oh yes, backpacks. Like a powerup you can use whenever you want, backpacks are scattered throughout the maps and each one has great strategic capabilities. The duration of effect and recharge times of each backpack all seem reasonably balanced. Some may be unassuming like 'Thrust' but with practice you can be quite the threat.
Gameplay modes are all classics like 'Siege' (like Unreal Tournament's assault mode), Damage Control (king of the hill) and Destruction (protect the VIP) albeit they continue the great theme of blowing everything up.
