Resistance 3 Review - Just Push Start

There are numerous FPS games released each year that it’s hard for some of them to stand out in the overcrowded market. Thankfully, Insomniac Games has managed to make Resistance 3 a fun and innovative experience. The addition of unique weapons, cool looking enemies and split-screen multiplayer is a major plus for me. The feature to reintroduce the health bar system is also a refreshing experience that sets Resistance 3 apart from many other games. The multiplayer mode is also heaps of fun to play and will add hours of more entertainment beyond the single player mode. Although it’s only September, Resistance 3 is sure to be a contender for “Game of the Year”.

So far a 9 from IGN, a 4.5 out of 5 from these guys, two nines and two eights from Famistu, two 7s, an 8.7 from CVG and way above average scores from personal blogs and videos. Sounds good so far And not to mention two foreign sites already slipped out 2 9s even before the embargo was lifted

dark-hollow4633d ago

Resistance 3 is a no brained for me but I would love to hear gamespots opinion.
They always take their time reviewing their games instead of rushing it to be among the first and get a few hits.

majiebeast4633d ago

EurogamerSe review is unproffesional like its been written by a amateur blogger.

jdfoster4633d ago (Edited 4633d ago )

I don't understand how IGN only negative of R3 was that it was 'bleak' .... Insomniac wanted it to be bleak... it's meant to be bleak... That's what R3 is all about... NO hope left... humans have already lost the war etc

ohh no!!!! another 9/10 ziro aint gonna be happy about this.

ivanjp18824633d ago

anyone know how long the single player campaing is?

smashcrashbash4633d ago (Edited 4633d ago )

Not to sure. It seems to vary from review to review. Some say 10 hours, I heard 8-9 hours and 7-8 hours. Somebody here said he beat it in 6 hours but I think he was lying by the way he wrote it. Probably on easy or something. @ sigmon91. Awesome. looks like the game will be way above average, a 9 or a solid 8.5 at least. Hey we got a 9 from Playstation Lifestyle. That makes seven 9s so far.

MasterCornholio4633d ago

thks looks like a pretty solid title and it seems much better than the last one.

But i will never get used to the brown look though LOL

majiebeast4633d ago (Edited 4633d ago )

First part fo the game its mostly the brown colour scheme later on it changes its like to set the tone of the game.

Resistance 3 is such a great game. One of my all time bests.

cooperdnizzle684d ago

Couldn’t agree more. Still love It as a shooter to this day.

Just something about that game. I really wish they would just do a remaster, don’t even need a remake just bring it up to todays out put, touch up a few things if any, and I am there to buy it day one.

Of course I would love a remake built from the ground up. As long as they treated it like Shadow of the Colossus, or close to those type of remake. Wouldn’t want it to get the RE treatment…. Just because the game is already paced so perfect and hits all the right beats that I wouldn’t touch that aspect.

My take:

Single player
3, 2, 1

Multiplayer
3, 1, 2

Overall
3, 2, 1

I beat the lengthy single player in 1 multiple times and spent hours in the online too. Plus 1 featured my home town! Special mention to the audio design in 1: playing that with surround headphones blew me away.

Note: I have the platinum for Resistance 2.

Eidolon741d ago

Resistance 1 MP will always be my favorite. Call it nostalgia or whatever, but that was my jam, felt more balance, natural.

Miraak82 741d ago

i have the platinium too , 10k kills in online ranked matches was no joke . Took me 3-4 months straight grinding but it was fun . To put it in perspective you only got like 25 kills per match if you were 1st place every match that's at Least 400 matches in 1st

Sciurus_vulgaris742d ago

I only played the 3 main Resistance titles. My ranking would be;
1. Resistance 3
2. Resistance: Fall of Man
3. Resistance 2

GoodGuy09742d ago

Man I loved 3's campaign. Another gem stuck on the ps3 and who knows if insomniac will go back to the franchise.

fr0sty741d ago

Resistance, Warhawk, MAG, Motorstorm, there's so many first party gems on PS3 that Sony has just left to die...

P_Bomb742d ago

Never played Burning Skies but I still have Retribution.

monkey602741d ago

Burning Skies was about 3 hours long and rather inconsequential. You haven't missed anything

porkChop741d ago

Honestly, Burning Skies was shit. There's no two ways about it. At first I thought it looked terrible, then I second guessed myself. Big mistake.

darthv72740d ago

Retribution has this really cool feature where you could use a PS3 to link a controller to it and play. So if you had a 2000 or 3000 hooked to a tv, you can use a real controller. All of this predates the PSP Go's ability to sync a sixaxis to it via bluetooth.

Yui_Suzumiya741d ago

Resistance 3 was shocking and brilliant. Loved it.

Why Resistance Was So Incredible

While the studio is best known for Spyro the Dragon, Ratchet, and Clank, and Spider-Man back on the PS3 the studio broke from creating platformers and made one of the highest regarded science-fiction first-person shooters of all time. This was Resistance and it remains one of Sony's most acclaimed and dormant franchises.

Really wish Insomniac would bring back Resistance!

darthv721097d ago

Agreed. Until they do a new entry, I'd love to get the two portable games remade into console versions. Maybe in a nice compilation with the mainline titles.

monkey6021097d ago

Burning Skies wasn't a great game.
It was only a couple of hours long and there was nothing memorable about it.

I'd love a new entry

darthv721097d ago

^monkey, hence why it should be remade into a better version.

SullysCigar1098d ago

Resistance 3's campaign was gorgeous for the time - and an awesome game to boot.

monkey6021097d ago

I remember being put off by it because McHale wasn't the MC but it turned out to be my favourite campaign

CBaoth1097d ago

by and large though the Resistance IP featured many protagonists (4 altogether I think if you include the portables). One of the reasons I enjoyed it was not being shackled to individual story arcs. Very rare for a major franchise.

Army_of_Darkness1096d ago

My favorite resistance game as well! It seriously had creepy, scary a$$ moments bro! It made me want an action horror game from insomniac!

Mr_cheese1097d ago

Remember playing this through online co op with the move controller and gun attachment! What a game!

BlackIceJoe1098d ago

I've said in the past I'd like to see this series return and have it take place years later, like in the present.

I'll give you an example if I'm not mistaken the last game ended in the 50s, so if it was to take place some time in the 2020s you'd have an opportunity to see how the world changed after the fall of Chimera and all the new technology that came out of that war.

Just like in our universe we all know WW2 happened, but we never experienced it, so if the next Resistance game takes place years later so too would people in that universe know a war look place against the Chimera, they just wouldn't know what it really was like.

So getting to see how that universe would respond to the Chimera reemerging would be interesting.

Imagine a little kid talking with his grandfather about the war and the kid just thinks it was just a made up bed time horror story and what was said was worse than what really took place, but now that the Chimera come back the kid will find out why years later the old timer adults were still waiting for the Chimera to return.

I think there is great potential for this series still and I really believe the best way forward for Resistance is make it have a time jump too.

So hopefully this series will return.

Dragonopolis1097d ago

Great Idea. I'd play that version.

Resistance was a great game and of all the remasters.... I would play a great remastered version of resistance series as well

waverider1097d ago

I was blown away when i played for the first time Resistance on the PS3. Great Game. Also liked very much an played for hundred of hours the Co-op of R2. The SP campaign of R3 is also excelent. I really hope that Sony and Insomniac annouced the Remaster of the Series and a new chapter. They got story to do that.

Jambola121097d ago

Resistance 2 was one of the first few games i played on ps3 and I loved it, would definitely finish that again :D

Chevalier1097d ago

I loved all the Resistance games. But part 2 online was amazing. The Marksmen for the Spec Ops type class when it was fully upgraded was such an amazing weapon. Oh man I wish they release all the games again and let us play part 2 online again.
