Welcome To Mars

I have been playing Red Faction Gorilla for the X Box 360.
This is one of the most enjoyable games I have played this year. You play a demolition expect who comes to Mars looking for peace but finds himself in the middle of a revolution. The colonist are tiring to expel the evil corporation from their lives.
The game is challenging at points but not frustrating.
The graphics are good but not ground breaking.
The audio is well done with the minor annoyance of having several people talking to you at the same time and their voices overlapping into a useless blabber.
The controls are easy to use with a minor learning curve.
The story line is better than a Arnold Schwarzenegger film but not by much.
The high point of the game is the fact that almost everything is breakable. You can take down a building, car, truck, or person with your trusty ax. Tanks are another matter. There is a wide variety of weapons and vehicles to use.
There a simple joy to driving a two story tall dump truck through a building.
This is a game you will recall, totally.
