Our take

A widely sold PlayStation 2 FPS with a small, quiet following. Fairly easy to find, priced above its collector value and expected to drift lower. Pick it up to play, not as a collector piece.

Written from MyPlayersVault data as of October 2026.

Why it scores 28

How easy is it to find

It came out with a mass-market print run and has been reprinted. Copies are fairly easy to find, and collector demand is niche. There are more copies around than collectors looking for them.

What it’s worth

A sealed UK/PAL copy is valued at around £18, with recent prices between £16 and £20. A used copy is around £6, between £4 and £8. MyPlayersVault puts its collector value at about £14 sealed and £5 used, so today’s prices sit about 25% above what it’s worth to a collector. These are estimated values with high confidence.

Where prices are heading

Its value has been steady and collector interest is cooling. MyPlayersVault’s three-year projection points down: sealed to around £14 (about 22% lower) and used to around £5. There is no reason to hurry if you want one. Projections are estimates, not promises.

Which region to buy

The game came out first in North America (15 October 2002), then the UK and Europe (15 November 2002). Of the releases analysed on MyPlayersVault, the UK/PAL one is the cheapest both sealed (£18) and used (£6). It scores highest in its North American release (31). PlayStation 2 games are region-locked, so an import usually needs a console from the same region.

What to check before buying

Because it has been reprinted, check whether a copy is a first print or a later one if that matters to you; sellers don’t always say.
For sealed copies, look closely at the wrap. Reseals are common on mass-market games and are worth less than a true factory-sealed copy.
For used copies, check the disc for scratches and make sure the manual and any inserts are there.

Verdict

SUB-ALPHA · Vault Score 28

Red Faction II is more a game to play than one to collect. It’s fairly easy to find and priced above its collector value, with a downward outlook. If you want one to play, a used copy at around £6 is the sensible buy.
