1.3 - rfom had such a great story
it was so awesome... it could've been so easy to keep the story great in R2 but i was left a bit dissapointed with it.. it went from a deep story to almost an average alien shooter.. the ending did leave me wanting more thou.

I hope insomniac will focus more on the story for part 3, being that i would rather have a great story and no multiplayer, than a half decent story and half decent multiplayer. i'm a huge resistance fan.. was my first game, but i was hoping for a beefier story on R2..

Don't let us down insomniac.. go back to Rfom principles.. even the art work was way awesome

succeed with good reviews.

Like I said, I wish the other resistances were in 3rd person. I'm only saying that because the look of this game and how it turned out so well.

Ok sony bend you have mastered the PSP...now challenge yourselves with the PS3. Sony bend psp games are all ace so i expected this one to be ace as well. The high scores don't really surprise me as these guys get better with each game they make.

I can't wait to see what they have in store for us for the PS3

1.7 - Haha higher than R2
I'm so getting this game, but not based on this review, Gametrailers isn't one of the sites I'd consider their reviews valid.

Damn. That's one of the highest scores I've ever seen from them. Higher than they gave Resistance 2. One again, Edge's 6 out of 10 seems a bit ... off.

Resistance 3 needs to be third person. This looks so much better than R2.

I agree, sort of.

Killzone has proven its self as the premier PS3 shooter. You don't need 2 FPS titles competing. Insomniac should take what Bend have done and add their normal flare to it, because the Resistance story isn't over but I think they need a new approach.

i also want to add that i bought R2 CE becuz i liked R1, and R1 was my 1st ps3 title. R2 was a huge letdown, SP was boring, but i kinda liked Ending, and MP was only fun for 2 weeks.

This game is getting better reviews then the first two games which is unbelievable.

Third person it needs to be.

I'm going to buy Resistance 3 for PS3 if its not first person.

I disagree with everyone. It doesn't NEED to be third-person, because I enjoy Resistance just fine as an FPS. But, I would still buy it if it was third-person, because Insomniac are great at making third-person perspective action games (Ratchet & Clank), I like the Resistance mythology & characters, I love the Resistance atmosphere and style, and I absolutely adore the weapons of the Resistance universe. Also, while I love Killzone 2, I also love Resistance 2, and they provide two very different aspects of the action genre. There is certainly room for both games to coexist. Killzone 2 is gritty, methodical, tactical, human. Resistance is vibrant, over-the-top, arcadey, superhuman.

"Resistance 3 needs to be third person. This looks so much better than R2."

LOL then it would be gears of war. Did you just admit(unknowingly of course) gears is better than resistance.

I'm glad PSP is getting this game.
Everyone needs to remember that great titles also happen in Handhelds.
As for Resistance...
I'll have to boot up my psp again.

This may be the best one in the series yet in terms of storyline (since R2 sucked in that aspect)

So RR is turning out to be better than R2? LAWLZ. Get this company to make R3 instead of Insomniac

I like both R1 and R2 they are very good games, I wasn't let down at all by R2 I think it was just as good as the first, but everybody has their own opinion.

I'm definitely gonna pick up RR.

8.1 - @FPShooter
I agree.

I love R2. Just an awesome, awesome roller-coaster thrill ride; didn't bother me one bit that it was a linear game. It reminded me of something you'd experience at Universal/MGM Studios...nothing more than over-the-top, blatant fun.

Only gripes I had was the way-too-abrupt ending, and the absence of controllable vehicles/machines.

As for Retribution: I've already pre-ordered.

I agree the ending was abrupt, but it did make me really anticipate R3. Its gotta be full of twists.

8.3 - R2 was great...
I think some people had the wrong idea about that game. It's was an action packed fun game.

But I also missed the vehicle section from R1 and hope they come back in R3...

I really like R2 as well. I miss the vehicle sections from R1 and the narrator with the sexy Englisg accent. :)

8.5 - I played R2 first and loved it.
Then I played RFom and understood why people were disappointed by #2. Not having the partial regen health bar or the vehicles. Plus the "boss battles" felt more like an interactive cut-scene than a battle.

I think R1 was a better game and R2 was too much of a "me too" FPS. I can only hope that Insomniac will be able to bring back the originality and freshness of RFom for R3.

All I've got to say is WOW.

I was definantly not expecting a score THIS high for Resistance Retribution from Gametrailers.... I was thinking something between a 8.0-8.5 from these guys, but I guess it must have really impressed... but I guess IGN UK seems to think a LOT differently about the game.

The PSP to PS3 connectivity and being able to play the game with the Dualshock 3 is pretty sweet though.

The boss fights in Retribution are what the boss fights in R2 should have been like.
I'm so glad that Bend made Retribution in the vein of Fall of Man. R2 was a great game but it lacked the feel and atmosphere of the first. I really did miss the weapon wheel too (Good thing it was put into Retribution).
