Resistance is Futile [Posted on 2008-11-16]
Ok...... I'll be honest. I am NOT an FPS fan. In fact to be honest, I have played only a handful of FPS games (Bioshock, Doom 3, Bad Company,) and several demos for other FPS games.
That being said........BUY THIS GAME!
I will spare you a huge description of plot, Lord knows there are plenty other reviews out there which go in to it. But I will say it is the plot that truly draws you in and goes for the jugular at first with a bit of mystery then erupts in to a full-out action story. With casual gaming I beat this game about 4 days. Not to say the game is small, but when I did sit down I was going through two or three or more missions at a sitting. And now I have upped the difficulty and going at it again.
The weapons are mostly typical from many FPS games out there with one or two really fun weapons to use......the Auger comes to mind. There are also additional weapons for you to use once you beat the game for your other run throughs.
THe multiplay, at least offline, seems rather cookie cutter of other offline multiplays with other FPS games. This is not to say it's not fun. It is, and a nice touch is the customizable map size. Although for me, I like the large maps to make it less a brawl and more a game of cat and mouse.
In short, if you like FPS games, I have a feeling this game is for you. If you don't like FPS games, at least rent it. But at this price.........buy it. I have gotten a lot less out of 20 bucks........a lot less out of 50 now that I think of it. This game has redefined what I have come to expect from FPS games and may very well open the door to me buying others.......specifically Resistance 2.
Repetitive, boring, nothing new [Posted on 2008-11-20]
I guess I should not have bought this so soon after beating Biosphere. Got it for $19.99 so it is not a BIG loss. It has no depth and is pretty uninteresting after the first few hours of play. It rapidly becomes just "same ol....same ol".
Can anyone recommend a FPS that really shows off the PS3???
Pretty good for a launch title [Posted on 2008-11-23]
I just got this game in October. As such, I'm aware it was two years behind its release date and not as much of a 'groundbreaking' title anymore. I wanted to play through it and get ready for Resistance 2, but somehow I never really got into it. I played through most of the game in a week, but my attention sort of waned (especially when the going got tough) and I pushed it aside for LittleBigPlanet.
To be honest, I never tried the online multiplayer or a lot of the other features, just the story. I thought it was a well-crafted one, but the controls (unintuitive at best) and mindless enemies/allies sort of ruin it.
I gave it 4 stars because it is a fun game to play, and maybe I just don't like it as much because I should have bought it in '06. Either way, getting it for less than $30 is a bargain, and it's a good enough game to pick up if you like shooters.
We are the final resistance [Posted on 2008-11-23]
This will be a short but to-the-point review.
I am an avid gamer, been playing video games for awhile now and I have to say that I'm really enjoying this game (more than halfway through it).
First the visuals are spectacular, you can move or break most objects, there are at times MANY enemies and friendlies on screen and it has never bogged down.
The gameplay is fantastic, the controls are tight but accurate. I loved the way you could aim by pressing L3, it makes for very precise shots.
Weapons are epic, ranging from standard US military to advanced chimeran weapons, you will be eager to advance in campaign mode just so you could find out what weapon they'll think of next!!!
Sound is great too, I can hear various bullets whirring around me in my home theater system. So for you audiophiles this game makes the cut!
Overall I would highly recommend this shooter to anyone looking for a fast-paced action game with a solid story. Thanks insomniac, for bringing us this excellent game!
Not the best, but pretty good [Posted on 2008-11-25]
Just got done playing it and I have to say for the most part I really enjoyed the game.
Pros:
-nonstop action 80% of the time
-alot of the action is team based (though they're more fodder than anything)
-final boss isn't rediculous
-recharging one quarter of your life helps ALOT
Cons:
-The "bloom" effect can be really annoying during certain levels. Blurry anyone?
-No way of knowing when a level is going to end (at least could've auto-grabbed all the ammo nearby), especially annoying in the later levels
-Sometimes during sniping the crosshair will go red to indicate an enemy in your sights, but when you shoot close to the edge of said enemy, you hit nothing. annoying when you only get 12 shots with the rifle.
-First level was rediculously hard (on medium) considering it's your first time playing.
Other thoughts:
This game is definatly worth at least a once-through. I have a spitfish FragX controller that has an imperfect mouse attached to it so it was easier for me to do the FPS thing especially coming from PC gaming. If you're not used to console FPS', stick with easy difficulty. I still found it challenging at times. Took me about 10 hours.
