Resistance 3 Review – PlayStationLifeStyle

Resistance: Fall of Man launched alongside the PS3 in November of 2006, and remained among the best the console had to offer for a very long time. Two years later Resistance 2 released, but wasn’t as well received as the original. To ensure their third offering fared better, Insomniac Games ditched their franchise alternating, bi-annual release schedule and decided to put an extra year of development time into Resistance 3. Was it worth waiting for?

I’ll start this review with a bold statement: Forget everything you know about Resistance. If it weren’t for the Chimeran invasion timeline and setting, and Insomniac’s signature weaponry, this could have been a brand new game or franchise all on its own. The tone, the pacing, the depth; it’s all so different. But in the best way possible.
