1UP: Resistance Retribution Review

Resistance's name carries quite a bit of weight with FPS fans, but as a Sony published title, the only place to extend the franchise (without an all-out sequel) is on PSP. And that's just what Sony Bend has done with Resistance: Retribution, the latest chapter in the franchise. There's a lot that could have gone wrong in transitioning the console-centric title to the handheld: The lack of a second analog stick presents obvious problems for a shooter, and the game eschews its first-person roots for a third-person perspective. But while hardly perfect, it succeeds in living up to the Resistance brand and is one of the best run-and-gun shooters on PSP. B-/A+
