Geo-Mod
Geo-mod technology is something that allows you to make games much more realistic, making it possible to blow holes in walls, floors and just about anything, allowing some advantages in gameplay (an example is on the back of the case "don't destroy the convoy, destroy the bridge!"
An example of the geo-mod technology in gameplay, where Parker can destroy a bridge to ease his advance through the mines
However, this is the only Red Faction game that can allow you to actually blow up the ground allowing you to burrow into the walls. You can even make your own series of tunnels practically where ever you want.
