I just recently rented Red River, and I thought the game was unique, different and fun. Unlike other shooters like COD or BF, the combat in this game is far more realistic. Here I will give my pros and cons of the game:
Pros:
-realism. When entering combat, u cant expect to run out in the open field and take out 40 men single-handedly, u need to actually take cover, and pick off guys 1 by 1 while trying to conserve ammo.
-graphics. The graphics are a huge improvement from the last game (dragon rising)
-AI. The AI in the game are great, enemies will try to flank you and catch u off guard while the armored vehicles will come straight at your squad.
-customization. You can pick from 4 different character classes: grenadier (explosives man), rifleman (standard infantry), scout (sniper), and autorifleman (heavy machinegunner). Each of these classes you can individually level up to unlock new guns and scopes for your own customization. Also, you earn medals for doing missions and the better the medal, the more points you are rewarded. Bronze - 1. Silver - 2. Gold - 3. And you use these points to upgrade your character, for example how fast you sprint or your accuracy when using an M16 or M4.
-Hardcore Mode. This is as hard as it gets, u have nothing on your screen except your gun and where your looking at. You don't know where enemies are at, which way is north or if it's a friendly or not. You must fully rely on what u see. Very fun but very difficult.
Cons:
-Single Player. This game was undoubtedly made for co op, since you are a squad leader, it's easier to talk to your friends then tell the computer what to do. Everything in the game is co op accessible.
-Game modes. Aside from the campaign, there are 4 different mode u can play which are really fun but they only give you 2 maps for each mode.
-Knox. I love what Knox says because he always says funny demeaning things towards you but he talks way too much.
Overall:
Very gun game and worth rent. Rating: 9.5
