Red Faction II is a sequel to the hit game Red Faction and takes place on Earth as opposed to the Mars of the first. Red Faction II was developed by Volition and published by THQ on October 16, 2002.

In the sequel, a group of Nano-enhanced supersoldiers (using the technology advanced by Capek in the first game) lead a revolt against the Earth's dictatorial government, the Commonwealth and its leader, the ruthless Sopot after being betrayed while on a mission for Sopot. However, the player, named Alias, after successfully deposing Sopot, is then betrayed again, this time by his own squad of similarly enhanced soldiers who take over the government in the interim, under command of their leader, Molov. The remainder of the game is spent trying to stop their plans, and in the end, save the world. The game is noted for multiple possible endings.

Star Vocal Power

Lance Henriksen provides the voice of the squad leader, Molov.

Speculation

The main character of the second game, Alias has no background, but bears a striking similarity to the hero from the first game, Parker. Alias' red armor even looks like Parker's miner suit from the first game.
